3 BookShots contained in this book.
1. Dead Man Running - a psychiatrist witnesses his patient’s murder, uncovering a plot to kill a political candidate
2. 113 Minutes - a mother is determined to seek revenge on the drug lord who she blames for her teenage son’s death
3. The 13-Minute Murder - a paid assassin hunts for the killer of a Mafia boss’s son

These 3 stories are all short, very quick reads. Nothing spectacular in any of them, just a quick escape.

#The13MinuteMurder #JamesPatterson

The only reason I read this was because I was at my dad’s house and I didn’t bring any of my books so I had to read his

Probably the most enjoyable James Patterson book I’ve ever read
Very fast reads 


DEAD MAN RUNNING
This should’ve been a full length novel. The lead character psychiatrist Randall Beck was great as was his friend Susan. The story was captivating and it was well written ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Unfortunately the remaining 2 stories weren’t as good.

313 MINUTES
Started off okay with a mother avenging her son’s death. But its when we find out how she manages to get away with it that the story falls apart. ⭐️⭐️

13 MINUTE MURDER
Nope. Did not enjoy this one at all.

I typically don't like his unless they're Alex Cross, but I quite enjoyed this. It was different, quicker, and I got involved quickly. Good quick read.

Beware this is three bookshots and not a standalone book.
DEAD MAN RUNNING ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ First story was very good. Could've been a full length book. Main character and suspense were good.

113 MINUTES ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was going to give the second story 3 stars. The story didn't make sense, but the twist was good and explained it all.

13-MINUTE MURDER ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Didn't like the story as much as the first two, but I liked the character, some humor...and I'm a sucker for dogs. A darker story.
