Het pleidooi
Het pleidooi: Zijn clint: onschuldig. Zijn vrouw: schuldig. | Steve Cavanagh
De explosieve actiescnes worden uitsluitend onderbroken door fascinerende scnes uit de rechtszaal. The Times Advocatenkantoor Harland & Sinton is al jarenlang de spil van een wereldwijd fraudenetwerk, maar nu zit de FBI hen op de hielen. Wanneer David Child, een rijke clint van de firma, wordt gearresteerd op verdenking van moord, vraagt de FBI Eddie Flynn om ervoor te zorgen dat Child wil getuigen tegen Harland & Sinton. Zodra Eddie David Child ontmoet, weet hij instinctief dat de man onschuldig is, ondanks het overweldigende bewijs tegen hem. Maar de FBI is in het bezit van belastend materiaal over zijn vrouw Christine en voert de druk gestaag op. Voor Eddie is dat het begin van een adembenemende race tegen de klok: niet alleen moet hij Childs onschuld zien te bewijzen, hij moet ook voorkomen dat Christine in handen valt van de FBI of van de gewetenloze advocaten van Harland & Sinton... Over de boeken van Steve Cavanagh Heerlijke karaktertypering, snedige, soms bitsige dialogen en wat humor op de koop toe. De manier waarop Eddie iedereen in de rechtszaal manipuleert, zijn getuigen aanpakt en zijn juridische spitsvondigheid gebruikt, schreeuwt zo om een verfilming van dit boek. Hebban.nl Deels zoals John McClane uit de Die Hard-films en deels in de traditie van John Grisham, vol actie. Zeer onderhoudend. Irish Independent Een spannend misdaadverhaal vol onverwachte verhaalwendingen, spektakel en schietgrage criminelen. Thrillers-leestafel.info Onmiskenbaar groeipotentieel. Het Parool

Another great book in the series. I finished in one day. They are that good. This one had me on the edge of my seat, wondering if David Child was really innocent. It looked like he was and then things happened to make it look like he wasn‘t. All the while, Eddie is trying to do his best to make sure his wife is not taken into custody due to an innocent mistake. I highly recommend this series. #SeriesLove2024 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

“When David Child, a major client of a corrupt New York law firm, is arrested for murder, the FBI ask con artist-turned-lawyer Eddie Flynn to persuade him to testify against the firm. Eddie is not someone who is easily coerced, but when the FBI reveal that they have incriminating files on his wife, he knows he has no choice. But Eddie is convinced the man is innocent, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.”

2 full Eddie Flynn novels and a short novella - all ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My IRL book club choice, Old God‘s Time ⭐️

Ben Carpenter‘s Everything Fat Loss ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Also still ploughing my way through Ulysses (which is dire), Mason & Dixon (bizarre but enjoyable) and Clarissa (slow-moving but nail-biting too)

I‘m very much enjoying the Eddie Flynn series. This one zips along at a pace, full of twists and turns that make you want to keep on reading.

I struggled to get into this one a bit, but eventually settled into the rhythm of the story. Not my favourite book by this author but enjoyable. A good ending but some annoying over use of 'algo' throughout. I'll stick with Eddie Flynn, great character

I really enjoyed both “Thirteen” and “Twisted” by this author, but this one just didn‘t grab my attention. The plot seemed convoluted and the characters, even though they appeared in the other books and I liked them, didn‘t compel me. ⭐️⭐️

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

Steve Cavanagh knocks it out of the park every single time! Eddie Flynn brings such an entertaining dynamic (former conman turned lawyer) and there's a perfect amount of outlandish (but somehow plausible?) plot twists. I think part of why it feels so authentic, even when it's far fetched, is because Cavanagh is also a practicing lawyer IRL.

Who knew I'd be so obsessed with legal thrillers? Stayed up way past Moxie's bedtime to finish 😂

swishandflick @HOTPock3tt Haha, she definitely was! Though I did get a few side eyes that screamed "why are the lights still on?" ? 3y

I swung by the library this morning to pick up my first physical library hold in a year! 😱

This one wasn't available electronically but I *really* wanted it (bad enough to walk to a location further from my house when it was 17 degrees outside 🥶)

valeriegeary That sun is pretty though! ❄️😎 3y

I won this book on Goodreads. I would have been done with it yesterday, but I am sick. If you like legal thrillers, this book is for you. It is fast paced. Eddie is a lawyer that is know for the hustle. His wife, Christine, is a lawyer that's in trouble with the FBI. His client, David Childs, is up for a murder he didn't commit. FBI wants someone to take a plea. Will anyone? And if so, who? Go get this book and read it. Happy Reading.

Here are two really good crime novels I've read in the last 2 wks but the luca Veste wasn't coming up on the search. Both writers present a wonderful podcast on crime writing and ive found loads of new writers as a result. One is a Liverpool police procedural, and the other a new york based legal thriller

MrBook Cavanagh's good. 👍🏻👍🏻 7y

An excellent legal thriller. Fast-paced (= unputdownable, kids late to school) and intelligent with great characters. Eddie Flynn as the street-smart lawyer is wonderfully dishevelled and endearing with quirky allies; the murder suspects sympathetic and sinister by turn. The courtroom scenes (while dramatised) ring true & are totally absorbing. Highly recommended.

Cinfhen Nice review! I liked "kids late for school" that's the best endorsement for a book ? 7y
Abailliekaras @Cinfhen ha ha! There was a lot of 'mummy, you haven't even made our lunches yet!' 😬 7y
andrew61 I really liked the defence so i will look this up soon. 7y
