2019 Hudson Booksellers Best of the Year

The serial killer isn’t on trial. He’s on the jury.

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 his movie-star client killed two people. He suspects the real killer is closer than they think - but who would guess just how close?

Praise for Thirteen:

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

“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)

I didn’t read the other books prior to this one in the series before starting it. Honestly, you don’t have to in order to follow along. I throughly enjoyed this book. The chapters are short and you’re drawn into the story immediately. For lack of better words - this story is nuts! Highly recommended.

This book kept me guessing and I didn’t figure it out until the very end. Even so, some of it dragged on a tad more than I cared for. Overall, it was. A solid 4/5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great twists and turns, a bit graphic

This book is a really good legal thriller, with great twists and turns and interesting court action. I did find some of the descriptions of murders to be unnecessarily detailed and graphic, and had to skip past them. (That might have removed a star for me, but it was a relatively small percentage of the book.)

Thirteen is a page turner, but it had too many killings for me. The storyline is very engrossing but I’m going back to my romcoms. Might read another of Cavanagh’s books in the future just to see if they all have such brutal murders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holds you captive until the last gavel
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2021

Putting the guilty party in the jury box was an inventive and unique hook and a killer one at that! Cavanagh goes above and beyond to keep readers breathlessly awaiting the next page. And my sense of awe has never wavered as I’ve devoured each book in this series.

Eddie Flynn is the star as a conman-turned-lawyer and a highly entertaining character. He seems to always find himself in the middle of murder and mayhem. Always going the extra mile for his clients, and sometimes (okay, most of the time) using unorthodox methods in and out of the courtroom.

The case against a popular movie star charged with the brutal murders of his wife and their bodyguard is told in both points of view from the defense counsel (that would be Eddie Flynn) and a deviant juror and master of deception who sits right in the jury box. Thirteen is another of Eddie’s mind-bending cases, and one that will hold readers captive until the final gavel.

This is a fast-moving crime thriller with courtroom action that simply mesmerizes. Plenty of twists and mindboggling revelations that keep readers on the edge of their seats. Cavanagh does a fantastic job with keeping the drama and suspense revved up. Non-stop courtroom drama hyped with spellbinding legal maneuvers and clever quid pro quos volleying back and forth between the defense and prosecution maintains a high level of intensity throughout.

With a legal background that includes courtroom exposure, the reaches of my imagination were sometimes stretched to accommodate Eddie’s slick-trick courtroom antics. Still, this girl just wants to have fun, even amidst the most awful of situations at times, so I’m always onboard for pages filled with fictional stunts and mystifying talents. Those who are unable to play outside the lines might encounter problems with Mr. Flynn. But, like I said, this is fiction, and reality can take a hike for a day or two!

Another spellbinding case – and another win for Eddie Flynn, Attorney-at-Law, in one of my most-favorite-to-read-series. Keep’em coming please, Steve Cavanagh, author extraordinaire.

The only reason why I ordered this book is because of the title, it picked my curiosity and I couldn't stop myself but buy "Thirteen: The serial killer isn't on trial, he is in jury" From the POV of someone whose reading habit depends on mood and content of the book, I loved it! Even if the tale is make-believe, this book is well written and I'm a sucker for such mystery, thriller books.

I enjoyed reading this book, I actually got hooked and could not put it down. I especially enjoyed the courtroom scenes. To my mind, the author might have lightened up a little on the description of the killing scenes, there was too much violence there. But on the whole a good read.
