Synopsis

A totally gripping twisty psychological thriller from the amazing author of Behind Her Eyes, now a major Netflix series

I was dead for 13 minutes.

I don't remember how I ended up in the icy water but I do know this - it wasn't an accident and I wasn't suicidal.

They say you should keep your friends close and your enemies closer, but when you're a teenage girl, it's hard to tell them apart. My friends love me, I'm sure of it. But that doesn't mean they didn't try to kill me. Does it?

13 MINUTES is a gripping psychological thriller about people, fears, manuiplation and the power of the truth. A stunning read, it questions our relationships - and what we really know about the people closest to us . . .

Readers can't put down 13 Minutes:

'An excellent and thought provoking story of just how hard it is growing up in these modern times of texting, facebook, cell phones and the complexity of coming of age' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'What struck me most about 13 Minutes was the dark, gritty, toxic reality of female friendships displayed here . . . I enjoyed the way Pinborough chose to write this novel.
