How is this my first Steve Cavanagh book?! I’ve known who he was for a while but have just never picked up his books, and that is something I’m about to remedy. Eddie Flynn series, I’m coming for you!
Wendy, and Amanda, are victims of crimes that have caused them unimaginable grief. Lost and saturated with anger, we follow the three women as they seek revenge against the men who destroyed their families. When two of the women meet up and find themselves to have similar goals, they make a pact to help get the revenge they deserve.
From the first pages I was hooked. Cavanagh had me wondering who these women were and how their stories tied together immediately. Each women had such a distinct personality while also portraying a shared level of grief. While we primarily get the POV of Amanda and a character named Ruth, we also get POVs from a variety of other supporting characters. I’m not always a fan of unequal POV distribution but I loved the way Cavanagh sprinkled these into the mix. Even though the premise behind the story isn’t unique (based on the Stranger on a Train movie), the execution was flawless.
I won’t say much more because this is a book you should just dive into! But with twist after twist, if you’re looking for an emotional rollercoaster, look no further than this thriller. I promise you won’t want to put this book down!
