Witness 8 is the 8th book in Cavanagh’s Eddy Flynn series. Flynn is a former con artist turned defense attorney who is working with his team to save a client who is facing a seemingly iron clad case. We also get the perspective of a witness in this case, Ruby, as well as Flynn’s team as they prepare for the trial.
I wanted to like this book so much more than I actually did. The actual plot of the story is intriguing and had the potential to be so much more than it was. But Cavanaugh added in so many side plots that seemed unnecessary and led to some unbelievable and, in one instance, infuriating events that it really took away from the main story. Another downside was how many repetitive moments are in this story. We would be told things multiple times from different characters and it took away from the pace of the story.
If you have already read and loved past Eddy Flynn books then I still think this one is worth a read. But if you aren’t familiar with the characters I would give this one a skip. I have previously read the fourth book in this series, Th1rt3en, and I found that one to be a gripping and fast paced read.
