Th1rt3en was unlike anything I've read before - and I've read hundreds of thrillers. And then there are characters that are meant to irk the reader; characters giving testimonials that you just want to shut up, shady police officers you want karma to bite on the ass, and the ruthless baddie who has little empathy. It kept me guessing and playing out possible scenarios what til the very end when I was sure I “knew” what was going to happen 60% in (naive me 😂)! The author manages to retain your interest right up to the end.

At times it felt like A LOT with gorier details being sprinkled frequently through the book so it was a book I had to take in strides at the beginning (but if you can handle it it’s a read in 1 or two days kind of book)! 5 stars; and recommend it to those who love mystery/thrillers and courtroom drama. One of my favourite reads to date! The book is a page turner indeed.

boy this is good stuff. He's on the jury for the murder trial of his victims. I read this over 2 days and I’m rating it 4.

Eddie Flynn is a criminal lawyer who wants a simpler career and life for the sake of his family, but he's good at what he does. He’s been asked to join the defence team of a famous celebrity actor, accused of killing his wife and security guard. It kept me interested, intrigued and on my toes until the last pages. Because whilst the lawyers prepare for the trial of the century, the killer has set his plan in motion.

There was an awesome, jaw-dropping twist that inspired by whisper-shouting moment, but I also had a teeny tiny issue with the ending. So much so that I am anxiously waiting Cavanagh’s next novel “Twisted” which is released April 4th 2019.

This is the first Eddie Flynn book I’ve read, and it’s definitely a legal thriller that’s worth picking up. I’ll definitely pick up Cavanagh’s next Eddie Flynn novel, and any other standalones or series he writes, because he certainly knows how to write a book that ensnares a reader. What does go on behind the scenes of a trial?
