This was a great story with so much going on it was impossible to put down.

Highly recommend this book.

This was my first Steve Cavanagh book and I definitely will be back for more! His writing was easy to understand despite the fact that perspectives were continually swapping. It kept me on my toes, wondering all the time where twists and turns could come in and then surprising me at unexpected moments. Was a perfect thriller for the beginning of autumn!

Oh buckle up … I’ve been waiting for this installment 8 and you did not disappoint at all !! Brilliant plot , intricate yet readable with ease ! “ There’s something wrong with Ruby “ and her grandmother was right !! Just brilliant - I’ll never not recommend your books x

What another absolutely fantastic masterpiece!
This is another Eddie Flynn book and it certainly hits like the others!
Absolutely loved mr Christmas and I shall not say more.
I have read all of Steve’s books I think he is an incredible author and look forward to reading more in the future.
Thank you so much for allowing me to read this pre release

This is an excellent murder mystery which challenges the readers ideas about who are the good guys and who are the villains.

It's an achievement for a writer to make us want to support a killer - the Witness 8 - despite her deplorable behaviour. Similarly, I found myself rather liking a hitman serial killer who I knew I really shouldn't be liking. And even the lawyer good-guy has a shady past.

It's clever. I like the way the author played with our assumptions and our loyalties.

I hadn't read this writer before but I would definitely read him again.

This is the eighth book in the Eddie Flynn series by author Steve Cavanagh. I love court drama novels and quirky characters, so this series is always going to be a winner for me. Another absorbing read by author Steve Cavanagh that made an excellent addition to the Eddie Flynn series. Eddie Flynn is a New York lawyer, having made the switch from a co artist and believes the two roles aren’t that different.

Ruby Johnson is a seemingly ordinary nanny and maid to wealthy families in Manhattan’s West 74th Street. But Ruby is not all she appears, she knows secrets of the families she works for and witnesses a brutal murder one night. Ruby makes an anonymous call to the police, naming the killer, but there’s a chilling twist: Ruby didn’t tell the truth.

Eddie Flynn, an unconventional yet brilliant trial lawyer with a dark past as a conman enters the scene. He is tasked with defending an innocent man accused of the murder Ruby witnessed. A tense legal battle follows as Eddie must unravel Ruby’s dangerous lies before there is another potential murder.

This was a fast paced novel that I thoroughly enjoyed, full of interesting characters, touches of humour and an intriguing case.

I would like to thank both Netgalley and Headline for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve never read Steve Cavanagh before and this is book 8 in the Eddie Flynn series.

At times I did think this is OTT with the amount of stuff going on and wasn’t totally convinced by Ruby either but all that aside it was very enjoyable. The pace really picked up nearing the end of the book and I feel as though it was left that some characters could possibly reappear in the future.

I think that Eddie and team would make a good tv show.

Many thanks to #NetGalley and #Headline for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Steve Cavanagh books are addictive!
This 8th book in the Eddie Flynn series gave me the fix I needed......a perfect 5 out of 5 from me.

What did this witness see or should I say who, plus who is telling the truth? This will keep you hooked from the beginning as it is brilliant. What is the nanny Ruby Johnson hiding and what does she intend to do? I liked this story as it was a bit different, I can understand why Steve Cavanagh is another best-selling author. Another book I could not put down as it keeps you turning those pages all the way through to get to the next surprise or twist. Great book to keep you entertained on the beach.

Thanks to Headline and NetGalley for ARC.

Ruby used to live on West 74th Street in Manhattan. Now she works for the people who do and she is full of simmering resentment and a desire to change her life and her mother's.
When she witnesses a murder, she thinks this is her big chance to get out from under the weight of the past and start afresh. But time is running out.
Eddie Flynn is hired to defend the man accused of the murder, but time is of the essence for Eddie and his client too.

This is the eighth in a highly enjoyable series featuring Eddie Flynn who seems to style himself as former con-man turned New York defence attorney with scruples, although you'll wonder if he's a con-man with a side hustle as the owner of a law firm. It's a high concept riot from the get-go, brilliantly and breathlessly plotted, with twists so deft you won't stop to wonder what just happened or why.

Unfortunately I was unable to get to this book before it was archived it’s definitely high on my TBR list and once read I will leave my review on all relevant book sites

I would like to thank Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book
I have read all the Eddie Flynn books and this one is the best so far.
There is a murder which is witnessed on a wealthy street and someone gets set up to take the blame.
Eddie in the meantime has a previous case he has worked on and ends up with a bounty on his head.
Eddie has to work against the odds to try and identify the true killer as well as avoiding his own death.
Mr Christmas wow what a character I don't know if I should look over my shoulder if someone mentions Marlon Brando

Once again Steve Cavanagh has come up trumps with another outstanding novel involving Eddie and his team, including Clarence the dog. Corruption, murder, cover ups, you name it, all encompassed in a really clever storyline.

Highly recommend!

My thanks to NetGalley and Headline for giving me the opportunity to read an advanced digital copy in return for an honest review.

Really impressive thriller. Cavanagh is one of the best court room procedural thriller writers around. Eddie Flynn, conman turned lawyer, is defending a man he believes to be innocent of the murder he is charged with, Despite the weapon being found in his house and with his DNA on it. Super plotting and dialogue with a great supporting cast. Top notch thriller writing.

I have been a fan of Steve Cavanagh for years and I especially love the Eddie Flynn series. Witness 8 is the 8th book in the Flynn series and it did not disappoint. I honestly don't know how Cavanagh comes up with the plot as the level of intricate detail in the twists and turns is phenomenal. The ultimate page turner!

This is my fourth Steve Cavanagh book and it proved to be of similar style and substance to the others. A decent plot in a well used American thriller genre. I thought Rose was a good character but overall I was only mildly entertained.

Steve Cavanagh welcome to the auto-buy list!
I absolutely loved this book, I could not put it down, the world around me was completely ignored in favor of having to know what happened next! The twists and turns in this story left me guessing the whole way through - just when I thought I had figured it out, it was flipped and I was back to the guessing game

Well well well what a rollercoaster ride you think you know what's happening then the next thing it goes in a completely different direction.
Read all his books fantastic author
Don't know what to read now

Thank you netgalley, Steve Cavanaugh and Headline

I was super excited to start Witness 8.

Having read many of Steve Cavanagh's novels before, although not in order I may add, the blurb sounded so good on this one.

It did not disappoint. I was gripped straight away and once again the author has pulled off a great, intense and well rounded nove.

Witness 8 is number 8 in the Eddie Flynn series, personally I dont feel that you have to read them in order as I do feel they are somewhat (or can be classed as) standalone novels.

Eddie Flynn is once again on the case of a murderer and it is as gripping as they come.

We also meet nanny/maid Ruby, who has been a witness to a murder (or so we think) and Eddie is defending an innocent person after being accused.

Brilliantly written and was unputdownable for me.

Can not wait for the next novel from Steve Cavanagh.

Thanks to Netgalley, the author and publisher for allowing me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

A new Eddie Flynn, what can I say? The mixture of a legal thriller along with plenty of murders. Yet, interesting and sympathetic characters
A compelling read

Thanks to Netgalley for a digital copy of this book
