Reviews / Votes
Wow. Steve Cavanagh just gets better and better - this book is genuinely chilling and unnerving at every turn. Couldn't put it down. -- Sarah Pearse Brilliantly devious and twisty. Well done, Steve Cavanagh - I inhaled that! -- Jo Spain Steve Cavanagh manages the feat of marrying a genial hero to a white-knuckle plot. Brilliant -- Ian Rankin Witty, razor-sharp proof that the courtroom thriller is in rude health in the UK -- Financial Times There's plenty you won't see coming (and it's all the better for it). This is easily my favourite of Steve's books -- Belfast Telegraph The Accomplice is a cunning, breathless and bloody tale in which nothing is quite what it seems. Steve Cavanagh tells it with such relish you're not sure whether to gasp or guffaw -- The Times Unmissable - 10/10 -- Peterborough Evening Telegraph Book a holiday just so you can take The Accomplice with you -- Hot Press The perfect thriller -- CrimeTime's Book of the Month The maverick lawyer Eddie Flynn faces another thorny case, defending a prolific murderer's wife who stands accused as his accomplice in Cavanagh's new pulsating and scalpel-sharp courtroom thriller -- Waterstones Says If you haven't caught up with Eddie Flynn, what are you waiting for? Another winner, Mr Cavanagh! -- CrimeFictionLover More than once, The Accomplice had me biting metaphorical fingernails -- Independent.ie Steve Cavanagh's Eddie Flynn series goes from strength to strength. The Accomplice is another muscular legal thriller, setting off like a freight train before twisting and turning through a snaky plot. Cavanagh's great skill lies in combining action with courtroom skulduggery; memorably evil villains with shades-of-grey heroes; and the sort of turn-the-page adrenalin that makes him a worthy successor to Grisham. Another triumph -- Vaseem Khan Such a great book -- Andrew Child A twisty plot, compelling courtroom drama and a terrifying serial killer make this next gripping instalment for Eddie Flynn fans unputdownable -- Olivia KiernanMore details
