I love Eddie Flynn and The Accomplice is the best Eddie Flynn novel yet. Yes, I know I say that every time, but this time it is true. Steve Cavanagh is one of the best crime writers of our times. Full stop. It left me terrified, excited and completely engrossed. The hardest thing about this book is not reading it all in one sitting. Clear a day in your diary and ignore everything else.
The Accomplice doesn’t take the easy, obvious path. It is full of surprises. It will break your heart and thrill you all at once. Brilliant.
