The accomplice by Steve Cavanagh

The Accomplice is another well written novel by Steve Cavanagh that keeps you going till the very end. When you feel like you know what is happening another twist is thrown in to make you rethink everything and wonder what is coming next.

Daniel Miller has been identified as the Sandman who killed fourteen people before his disappearance. His wife Carrie is now on trial for being his accomplice. Eddie Flynn has the hard job of proving that she was not involved in these murders and in fact she is a victim the same as all the others who had the misfortune to cross paths with the Sandman. As Carrie’s trial starts, she becomes scared and goes into hiding, and this makes it even more difficult for Eddie Flynn to defend her and prove her innocence. Everyone believes because she has run away, she must be guilty. When the Sandman reappears, killing witnesses to protect his wife, the challenges for Eddie continue to grow.

Eddie is finally able to convince Carrie to trust him and come to court so that she can testify to her innocence. But as the trial comes to an end and it seems like everything has been dealt with nicely another twist is thrown in to change the whole outcome.

This novel is written with different chapters from the various characters points of view, and this adds to the suspense within the story.

This novel will keep you hooked and guessing to the very end. I highly recommend this book.
