Book Review: Th1rt3en by Steve Cavanagh (Eddie Flynn #4)

Th1rt3en Th1rt3en by Steve Cavanagh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 1/2 stars!  Eddie Flynn is a defense attorney. Bobby Solomon is a famous actor accused of killing his wife and head of security.  Joshua Kane is a psychopathic serial killer who plots to be on the jury of this "case of the century." 

A page-turning, heart-pounding legal thriller!  The suspense is built through multiple points of view -- both Eddie Flynn and Joshua Kane tell their portion of the story.  There are twists, turns and surprises right up until the end.  I thoroughly enjoyed the courtroom scenes along with the behind-the-scenes trial prep and interplay between the characters.  There is a large cast of characters but they are all important to the progression of the court case.  

This is the first book I've read by Steve Cavanagh, but you can be sure that it won't be the last!  I read this one for book club, but will go back and start at the beginning of the series.
