Whew!! Whenever I see another installment in this series, I know I need to get ready for a whirlwind of a ride. When it comes to Eddie Flynn nothing is easy or normal and I am here for it.
The imagination of this writer just has me floored! The twists and turns and all the chaos in between had my head spinning. I eagerly await the next installment as I know it will be a read I can't put down.
I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy.
So intrigued was I by the blurb for this book, I knew I had to read it. I didn't realise, however, that it is the eighth book of a series. But do you know what, guys and gals? It doesn't matter, because it can be read as a standalone.
Witness 8 is a gritty, gripping page turner and was, for me, the perfect introduction to Eddie “Fly” Flynn, the con man turned defense attorney. I liked Eddie, and I liked his legal team. This book was so enjoyable I even liked Mr. Christmas.
The story is told from several POV'S, Eddie's being the only one in the first person. It is a complex story, with several strands and sub plots, but it's worth sticking with, particularly for the ending.
Eddie Flynn now has a new fan, and I look forward to reading his back catalogue.
Thanks to Netgalley and Headline for the digital ARC.

I really enjoyed this book. This is the first I have read of Steve Cavanagh but he has been on my radar. Since it is my first, and number 8 in the series, you can read out of order. I'm sure I would have enjoyed even more if I had read from the beginning of the series but I still enjoyed it and didn't feel like I was missing anything.
The recurring characters are fantastic and have a found family vibe that I adore (this is one of my favorite tropes). Chapters were short and aided the propulsive pace of the plot. The whole time I was intrigued on how he would bring everything together and was satisfied by the ending. This was my first Steve Cavanagh but it won't be my last.
