Critics Review

  • A terrific writer. He has talent to burn.

    Don Winslow

  • Trust me - it will keep you guessing until the very end.

    Ian Rankin

  • Unpredictable, daring and completely compelling. Top notch writing. If you thought Thirteen was good - and it really was - this is somehow even better.

    Alex North, author of The Whisper Man

  • Very clever, darkly funny, moving, fast-paced, and Eddie Flynn is a terrific character.

    Jane Casey

  • Eddie's back! Steve Cavanagh writes the best hooks in the business.

    Mick Herron

  • A great read.

    Martina Cole

  • What a great read - an absolute page turner.

    Shari Lapena

  • Cavanagh/Flynn is the best legal tag-team since Connelly/Haller.

    Craig Sisterson

  • Brilliant - a characteristically twisty courtroom puzzle with some thrilling setpieces.

    Mason Cross

  • Absolutely brilliant. Addictive, clever, pacy. Eddie Flynn is one of my heroes.

    Jo Spain

  • Steve Cavanagh's writing is intelligent, sophisticated and tense, his plots executed with forensic attention to detail. I can't get enough of Eddie Flynn.

    Mari Hannah

  • Smart, pacy and keeping you guessing till the very end, this is an unputdownable high-concept thriller from the master of the genre.

    Brian McGilloway

  • It's a masterclass in misdirection and withholding information that will have you pitting your wits against with author, with courtroom scenes that are second to none: buckle up and read in one sitting

    The Guardian

  • A brilliant concept executed with all the sophistication and intrigue we have come to expect from this writer.

    The Sun

  • Cavanagh can generate tension better than almost anyone else

    Literary Review

  • Steve Cavanagh is currently reinvigorating the legal thriller

    Financial Times

  • Fifty Fifty is bucketloads of creepy fun

    The Observer

  • ...not unworthy of the great John Grisham

    The Times

  • A new author to me - why, oh why haven't I read his work before? I wolfed this down

    Prima

  • As twisty as they come, you'll be switching sides till the end.

    Crime Monthly

  • Cavanagh is the kind of the high-concept twist and his latest has an absolute humdinger

    The I Paper

  • Fifty Fifty is hugely entertaining, there's plenty of drama, jeopardy and tension and Cavanagh directs his wry humour at some of the absurdities of the law. Fifty Fifty is a heady mix of brutal murder and judicial shenanigans - delicious and thrilling. Cavanagh has the reader in the palm of his hand.

    NB Magazine

  • ...combines electric plotting with vivid evocations of the impact of emotionally abusive parenting and sexual harassment at work. As a Brit whose thrillers are set in America he's inevitably compared to Lee child, but Cavanagh's books combine whodunnits with courtroom contests, and are reminiscent of Agatha Christie in their penchant for audacious narrative trickery.

    The Sunday Times

  • Steve Cavanagh triumphs once again with his ability to twist perceptions and sympathies.
