The 13th Hour by Richard Doetsch

New author alert!!!  New author alert!!!  So excited too because he's written at least 3 other books that are a series!!!

Okay, so, first of all, this book starts on chapter 12 and works backwards!  So clever.  The main character, Nick Quinn is in police custody for killing his wife, Julia.  While in custody, a man visits him (Nick thinks at first it's his lawyer) and asks him if he would save his wife, given the chance.  He then explains that Nick may still be able to save her.  He hands him a letter and a gold watch and tells Nick he has twelve hours. After he's left, Nick is thrust back in time two hours.  At that point Nick has one hour to try to find a way to save his wife and find the killer before being thrust back another two hours.  This will happen 12 times.  In his "travels" Nick soon realizes that single events are the result of a complex set of occurrences and every bit of interference from him changes things unbelievably for countless people.   

I LOVED this book!!!  So good!  So clever!!!  Such a great, fun ride.  A great, thrilling, mystery and adventure.  It kept me thinking and wondering the whole time.  I actually figured "IT" out on page 254 (it was an "Oh!!!!  I know, aha moment") but that didn't ruin anything for me.  So good and so excited I found this new author.  Read it, you will love it.
