Thank you to both NetGalley, Flatiron books and the author for my Digital ARC of this book in exchange for my honest unbiased review

I really enjoyed this book. murders, secrets, lies this book has them all! and the premise is just fantastic and very original!

Here comes the blurb as they say it better than I could!

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-defence-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?

Thirteen was a truly gripping book from beginning to end. At first I worried it would matter that I hadn't read the previous books in the series, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment of this book. Taut plotting, great writing and lots of twists and turns!

This was an absolutely fantastic legal thriller. I loved every second of it and the only reason I'm not sad to have finished it is that I have a lot more to read in the series!
I loved how it kept me guessing throughout the book and how great the twists were towards the end. This is a highly praised series and now I know why.

THE SERIAL KILLER ISN'T ON TRIAL.

HE'S ON THE JURY...

THAT TAGLINE OH MY! IT GRABBED MY ATTENTION AND REFUSED TO LET GO!

This story has strong and brilliant plot, GENIUS! Type of thriller story that i'm looking for. I don.t want to spoil anything, but this is become one of my most favourite thriller so far. This is a face-paced and cleverly constructed. You won't disappointed, you can trust me. Thirteen completely blew me away.

An excellent psychological thriller, with a unique premise (the serial killer is on the jury!), and many twists and turns along the way. I loved the main character (no, not the serial killer), the writing voice and the authentic dialogue.

This book was another stunning legal thriller - a new genre I'm getting more into in 2019. The case was very intriguing and I enjoy trying to put the pieces together as I read it. I thought both the main case any longer running case we're both well done and expertly described.

My one fault with the book was that I felt that the main case wrapped up too quickly in favor of focusing on the longer running case.

I recommend this book to fans legal thrillers. I plan to read other books in this series going forward.

Review given in exchange for a copy of this book provided through netgalley.

Oh my gosh.....what a brilliant mystery! I loved the set up with the “bad guy” and the crime itself. Very well plotted with characters that were all really interesting. The story itself is clever and gives new meaning to the phrase hiding in plain sight. Lots of twists and turns right up until the end. Once I picked this up I could not put it down! Thank you NetGalley for the advanced readers copy for review.

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.

The blurb for this novel is really intriguing, but in practice it was all a bit much really. Kane, the baddie (this is not a spoiler) made no sense to me. He killed everyone in his path, seemed to spend inordinate amounts of time and money (where did he get his money?) preparing for ridiculously devious crimes for inadequate motivation. The Eddie chapters were better, and he was a likeable character.

The novel kept my interest, but it got to the point where I skimmed the Kane chapters, taking it for granted that whoever he encountered would be dead within a page or two.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to.

An exciting and entertaining thriller that you cannot put down.
I was hooked since the first pages and it was great to read the twists and turns of the plot.
A really good book that can be read as a stand alone even if it's part of a series.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book, all opinions are mine.

Fantastic story, one I just couldn't stop reading. Believable characters and non-stop action. I hope there are plenty more to come!

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair review.

This was an exciting triller that I will not soon forget. Had some difficulty falling asleep having read it. The writer depicts some super stressful situations that have a significant impact on the lives of the characters. I highly recommend this amazing book.

From the first few chapters, I knew I was going to be pulled into this story. I was right, I was captivated immediately. While this book is the fourth book by the author with the same character, it can be read as a standalone book. There were no needless side stories or confusing references to what happened in prior books. The happenings in prior books that were referenced were succinct. This book kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through being almost finished. Definitely adding this book to my favorites list and will be recommending it!

Thirteen was my first time to read any of Steve Cavanaugh's Eddie Flynn novels and I plan to read the backlist and the next in the series as soon as it comes out.

I'm an avid reader of mysteries, detective novels and legal thrillers. Thirteen's Eddie Flynn is a lead character/lawyer that draws you in and gets you emotionally invested in his success. He is smart, savvy in law and crime but has a very clear personal code. He refuses to represent guilty clients - he is a defense lawyer who is committed to using his time to free the innocent. It is not as though he only represents the indigent but he does limit his clients to the unjustly accused. And he uses his substantial and varied talents to find ways to poke holes in the prosecution's case and he is particularly adept at finding out when police or investigators have cut corners or tried to present tainted or false evidence.

In Thirteen, he faces a brilliant and cold blooded murderer who takes an unexpected and unorthodox approach to his crimes. The antagonist is always so many steps ahead, skilled and with a strange and unlikely talent. Though the crimes are chilling, Cavanaugh spares us excessively gory details. It has just the right amount of tension, uncertainty and action. I stayed up all night reading it and have just ordered his 2 earlier books!

Bobby Solomon is an actor accused of murdering his actress wife and his bodyguard. We see Bobby go to court with Eddie as his lawyer but as the story unfolds could there be an actual serial killer on the jury?
Thirteen is a brilliant legal thriller, with a touch of sinister, dark and disturbing. The characters are so real and the plot intense.
This is #4 in the Eddie Flynn series (cleverly written and likeable character) and my first read of the series so I can confirm that it’s easily read as a standalone.
So many fascinating elements to this story, it would make for a great movie.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Flatiron for my ARC in exchange for an honest review

Oh my goodness this book is so intense there’s not one page left without a twist or action. Standing ovation for author Steve Cavanagh to come up with all these ideas how to surprise a reader. I didn’t want this book to end.
Two POV‘s, one is an attorney Eddie Flynn and second is a serial killer Joshua Kane. Trial murder is about to start for a famous actor Bobby Solomon and Kane is one of the jurors. Unbelievable courtroom drama and investigation the same time.


Thank you to Net Galley and publisher for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thirteen by Steve Cavanagh is that suspenseful, thriller with multiple twists and an ending that I didn't see coming! Very good book. Highly recommended.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

This book was a 5 star rating for me. I absolutely loved this book....one of my favourite courtroom thrillers. An absolte must read ☺ Steve Cavanagh fills it with suspense and intrigue....and that twist?!

Thanks to Netgalley; I received this as an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Some time ago I read Eddie Flynn #1, and I liked it, but not very much because I couldn't seem to really care about Flynn. What a difference now! The author has made Flynn more than just likable. He is easy to root for, and I was really rooting for him! This was the best legal thriller I've read in a long time. The plot was a bit complicated but very well executed. The chapters alternated between Flynn (in first person) and the bad guy (in 3rd person as "Kane"), and it was easy to follow and know who was telling the story. I'm a civil trial attorney but I love reading the legal thrillers that are in the criminal arena. The courtroom scenes here (and there are plenty!) are spot-on and I can just see the players in my mind as the trial progresses. It was loads of fun, but also pretty tense at times. There was a bit of a surprise twist at the end....the bad guy wasn't the guy I imagined him to be after all. I absolutely loved it. This was #4 in the series, but it didn't seem to matter that I had not read #2 or #3. It was full and complete just as is, and I really appreciate that the ending wrapped everything up. I absolutely hate cliffhangers; there's NO cliffhanger here. This author obviously respects his readers. Highly recommended for lovers of thrillers and especially legal thrillers.

I enjoyed this fast-paced legal thriller more than anticipated. I didn't know that it was the fourth in a series when I picked it up, but I had no problem reading the book as an independent story. The premise has a great hook, which didn't disappoint in execution (so long as one is prepared to suspend a healthy amount of disbelief). It was well-written, and the characters held my interest on the winding road to and through trial. As a lawyer, I was impressed with the accuracy with which Cavanagh generally portrayed the criminal justice system. There were a few moments where I thought to myself, "That definitely would never happen." These moments mostly dealt with aspects of the American legal system that differ from other places. I wasn't surprised to find that Cavanagh is a UK-educated lawyer, for that reason. But on the whole I thought he did a remarkable job writing about New York and American lawyers, and generally kept me guessing on the next plot twist. A great read while traveling. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance reader copy.
