Description

Thirteen is the legal thriller Lee Child, Michael Connelly, and Ruth Ware are raving about and readers can’t put down.

“Outstanding - an intriguing premise, a tense, gripping build-up, and a spectacular climax. This guy is the real deal. Trust me.” —Lee Child

“A dead bang BEAST of a book that expertly combines Cavanagh’s authority on the law with an absolutely great thrill ride. Books this ingenious don’t come along very often.” —Michael Connelly

It’s the murder trial of the century. And Joshua Kane has killed to get the best seat in the house – and to be sure the wrong man goes down for the crime. Because this time, the killer isn’t on trial. He’s on the jury.

But there’s someone on his tail. Former-conman-turned-criminal-defense-attorney Eddie Flynn doesn’t believe that his movie-star client killed two people. He suspects that the real killer is closer than they think – but who would guess just how close?

“A brilliant, twisty, ingeniously constructed puzzle of a book. Steve Cavanagh pulls off an enviable premise with panache.” —Ruth Ware

Just okay

The plot was too unbelievable for me to give it more than two stars. It was like Runaway Jury on steroids, and not as well written.
Okay, but also not great.

This book was decent and relatively interesting. No surprises, and the attempts at them did not pay off.

Definitely lacked any real drama or suspense, relying on the reader to believe in circumstances that were unbelievable.

However, it’s a quick read and still worth reading.
TOTALLY AWESOME!!

The author always kept me guessing what would happen next! I would wonder how the story would end when I only was halfway through. His expert storytelling keeps the pace always moving and keeps my mind busy. I find myself thinking about the cases when I am not reading the book!! Eddie Flynn is a pretty cool conman turned lawyer.
Incredible thriller
