One of Us Is Guilty is an exhilarating legal thriller that takes readers on a roller coaster filled with emotional twists, dark turns and numerous "oh shit!" moments. Steve Cavanagh's propensity for propulsive storytelling is on full display in this latest installment of the brilliant Eddie Flynn series.
Patrick and Vanessa Vanderpool are married, insanely wealthy, and individually suspected of murdering an aide on Patrick's political campaign for Governor with whom Patrick is also having an affair. Eddie Flynn, an attorney and former con man known for doing whatever it takes to win difficult cases for his innocent clients, is hired to represent Vanessa. Putting Eddie in the crosshairs of the rich, influential, and unscrupulous patriarch of the Vanderpool family. Ignoring the increasing danger to himself and those around him, Eddie digs in and does what he does best: find a way to exonerate his client by any means necessary. But this time, he has a better chance of being killed and buried in the woods than defeating the powers lined up against him.
This series never disappoints and One of Us Is Guilty is a thrilling new edition that elicits strong reactions while keeping you guessing. Eddie Flynn is in top form, maneuvering in ways only he can despite the odds stacked against him, threading the needle of ethical ambiguity that allows him to adhere to his own moral code while simultaneously testing the boundaries of lawful and honorable behavior. Meanwhile, his team adds significantly to the story with their relentlessness and toughness as they journey into the belly of the beast to get the evidence needed to support Eddie's strategy. Not to mention the agendas, both hidden and overt, of the Vanderpools and the murder victim, all of which provides enough doubt and uncertainty to how events will conclude. Setting up showdowns inside and outside the courtroom with multiple lives hanging in the balance.
One of Us Is Guilty is compelling, engaging and gripping in ways that make it impossible to put down this book without it beckoning you to pick it back up in short order. Perfect for anyone who loves a dramatic story with formidable villains stacking the deck against the underestimated underdogs who are no shrinking violets, turning the dangerous tables and bringing justice to those who think they're above the law.
