Audio Book Review: 13-Minute Murder by James Patterson

13-Minute Murder by James Patterson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Published: April 2019
 

This book was actually three different stories in one.

The first is Dead Man Running:

This book featured Dr. Randall Beck who is a psychiatrist who is also dying of brain cancer. Most of his patients are dealing with some type of traumatic event that he is helping them work through. When a new client shows up at his office and then is gunned down right after the appointment, Dr. Beck has lots of questions, but he's not getting the answers. In order to get the answers, he will have to risk his own life and the life of others in order to find out what is going on.

Next Was 113 Minutes:

When Molly Rourke gets the call that her son has had an overdose at school, the first thing she does is call her brothers because she knows she can't handle this news on her own. They spend the next few months trying to figure out who was behind his death and getting their revenge. There are a lot of surprises in this story.

Finally 13-Minute Murder:
Michael Ryan is given a job to kill a coed in the middle of Harvard. When the job is done, he is determined to find out who ordered the hit. His partner doesn't want to say, but when Ryan uncovers the truth, it's almost too good to be true. He can execute the perfect murder in 13 minutes, but it may take more than that to bring down all the players involved in this.


I didn't know when I downloaded the book that it was 3 different Book Shout books. I could have upped my Challenge Count if I did. These stories were not the best. I think 113 Minutes was my favorite out of the three. It had a twist in it that I didn't see coming. So if you want to read any of these, this is the one I recommend the most. Next would be Dead Man Running. 13 Minute Murder just ended up kind of weird for me.

Overall the book was alright. Three different murder stories that have you wondering What the Heck?? James Patterson is one of my favorite authors and no matter how hard I try, I don't think I will ever finish reading all of his books.
