Thirteen is the legal thriller Lee Child, Michael Connelly, and Ruth Ware are raving about and listeners can't pause.

“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

Critic reviews

"Sims portrays the lawyer’s first-person narrative with a hint of a New York accent, while giving the other characters slight distinctions as well. The killer’s chapters are written in third person and underscored with boredom, suggesting someone who’s killed many times and lost the thrill. Passing references are made to characters and situations in the previous books, but this installment stands well on its own. Suggest this title both to those who love a legal thriller where the lawyer does more than practice law and to those who like a solid, twisted serial killer tale without the gory details." -Booklist

I was hooked from the beginning, and I loved the narrator!! I was on the edge of my seat multiple times, I do listen/read to a lot of this genre, so the ending became predictable to me. Not that it wasn't good, I was just hoping for something a little different for the close. Still a great listen, definitely recommend!! Also, I listened to this as a stand-alone, and I plan to read the others. He made a fan out of me, that's for sure.

Great listen..
