Two Kinds of Stranger by Steve Cavanagh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I don’t think I will ever get bored of Eddie Flynn.
I love the twisty plots, I love the crazy lawyer who always finds a way to twist things in favor of his clients and who always finds a way to Robin Hood justice.
But the best part of these books for me are the secondary characters. They are so full of life. They are not there as an aside. I grow to love them and I mourn every one of them are they have terrible things happen to them. Sign of a great writer, in my opinion, is putting as much energy into your secondary characters as to your primary ones.
with gratitude to netgalley and Atria Books for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
