Really enjoyed this book. Once you get through the first few chapters, it becomes harder and harder to put it down.
I spent 3/4 of the book speculating on who I thought was the murderer. Turns out I had the wrong sister, but I think that actually made it better because I was so surprised
I loved this book, there is something so fascinating about a courtroom drama combined with a chilling thriller. From the opening pages you are there with Eddie Flynn awaiting the verdicts from the Jury as to how they find the defendants. The book then goes back three months earlier to the 911 call transcript. There is something so unsettling reading these transcripts.
Throughout the whole novel I kept trying to work out which sister was responsible for the death of her father, the chapters titled SHE added to the overall confusion as to which sister's voice we were hearing. I loved these extracts, although sometimes disturbing in content.
Fifty Fifty kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved the hidden twists, the courtroom proceedings, how the evidence was sourced and presented in court and how two opposing lawyers came together to identify the real killer.
