Oops I posted my review on an identically titled book. I read this book
3.0 stars�� I have recently noticed that several of my ŷ������ friends have reviewed books by Stephen Mearns so I decided to give “Thirteen�� a try. The premise of the book is that a serial killer murders a victim and sets up someone who has won the lottery or had something else good happen to them to take the fall. To ensure the case is closed, he murders a guy he looks most like that has been summoned to jury duty for the trial of the set-up person to take his place as a juror to secure a conviction. 😳😳😳……😂😂��. I mean come on. It is a testament to Cavanagh that with this ridiculous premise he is still able to write an entertaining book with some good courtroom confrontations between the main character, Eddie Flynn and the prosecutor in the case. However, the serial killer himself is a cross between The Terminator and Ted Bundy. I just couldn’t wrap my head around the concept that nobody would notice their friend,co-worker, or loved one was missing during the time he was impersonating that person as a juror on a multiple week trial. Also what did the Terminator do for income? There were other head scratching moments throughout the book that defied common sense, but it was interesting to the end. I feel like if I read a different book by this author I might enjoy it more. Eddie Flynn, the defense lawyer and the recurring character in the author’s other books, was entertaining and intelligent but his ability to escape the jaws of death at the last second over and over was ridiculous. As you can tell I haven’t really made up my mind about this book and author �� you’re on your own.
