Synopsis

In this original, twisty, and breakneck “modern masterpiece” (The Providence Journal), a man goes back in time to prevent the murder of his wife.

At 9 p.m., Nick Quinn is sitting in a jail cell, arrested for the murder of his wife, Mary, when he is offered an astonishing opportunity. Given a talisman by a mysterious stranger, Nick now has the ability to go back in time, one hour at a time, for a total of twelve hours.

With the chance to discover Mary’s killer and even prevent her death, Nick races against the clock, only to discover that his actions in the past could have unexpected repercussions on the future. Worse, if he hasn’t set things right by the thirteenth hour, all will be lost.

“If there ever was a novel that deserves to be read in one sitting, this is it. With a totally original and compelling story line, The 13th Hour” (Booklist, starred review) is an unforgettable thrill ride.

Goodreads review by Kirsten on May 22, 2015

Alright. So. What to say about this one? Let's start with the fact that if I ever read the phrase "gun at the small of his back" one more time, I might hurt myself. And if anyone EVER describes someone else as beseechingly like, looking at the clock, or desperately wondering if there will ever be enou......more

Very thrilling - that's as succinct as I can say! I was glued to this book for a day and finished it quite fast. My opinion The 13th Hour starts with Nick and Julia having a minor disagreement, before Julia sets off to work and Nick spends his day working from home. At almost 7 pm, Julia is murdered a......more

What a great thriller this was! This author is a first time read for me, and wow, so glad I read this book. I have never read a book with a plot line quite as unique as this one, which BTW was the reason why I got the book in the first place. I loved the plot, the characters, and especially those ad......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on September 14, 2022

This was an excellent book with a few minor issues. First you do not cock a glock, thats now how they work. I am sure someone has pointed this out to the author so I wont dwell on it. I did think the protagonist took an incredibly stupid risk near the end of the book with who he told about the time......more

Goodreads review by Christina on October 30, 2019

Wouldn't have read it, if it wasn't for the bookclub. What I don't like about these Thrillers is that you never get close to any emotions of the charakters. It's only one fact after the other. It doesn't touch me and that bores me really fast. The time travelling fact kept me stick to it. I guess it......more
