Prosecutor Genevieve Holst has a spotless record when it comes to putting the bad guys behind bars.
When her boss and friend is accused of murdering his wife and two children, he requests that she defends him … much to the disgust of not only the investigating Homicide Detective Owen Graham, but also her friend’s sister.
Being the brilliant lawyer she is, she manages to get him acquitted. But she’s beginning to have doubts about his innocence. Could she have freed a possible killer? Could he have committed those heinous crimes after all?
His actions have aroused her suspicions and when he threatens Genevieve, she only has one person who might be able to help her … the detective who warned her against defending her boss.
But is she going to be able to just walk away?
WHY is the second stand alone novel in a series of psychological suspense thrillers. Well written, there’s lot of page-turning action with a romance thrown in for good measure. The characters are deftly drawn, and I love how she and her three besties interact with each other.

5 out of 5 stars
Gen and Perry are lawyers and Owen is a detective. This is a wonderful romantic suspense book. Gen is a very strong person and agrees to help defend a friend of hers. And Owen is the detective she butts heads with. Part of the story is heartbreaking. Gen lives up to her convictions and this story has some twists and turns you just do not see coming. I love reading Megan Mitcham’s books and this one was no exception. You won’t be sorry you paid to read this one!
Genevieve Holst is a killer in the courtroom and not afraid of anyone, but in her personal life she is afraid of commitment and closed off, except for her three close friends Larkin, Libby and Marlis. When Gen realized she set a killer free she does everything in her power to gather evidence to remedy her error, even confide in her enemy Detective Owen Graham. The story starts slow like a roller-coaster, but then the thriller ride starts full of mystery, secrets, deception, nail biting suspense and fighting to stay alive action that leaves you breathless with heart palpitations in the end. I have read quite a few books by Megan Mitcham and she always delivers a story that captivates your imagination that takes you on a journey with strong characters, action and romance.
This is a very good story.
A lawyer has been obtained to get her boss off of murder charges. She does.
Gen is struggling with the fact she may have gotten a murderer out of being prosecuted for murder. Owen, a detective has warned her to stay out of investigating. Of course, she doesn’t listen. Now they both might be in danger.
Interesting storyline, it is filled with action and intrigue, this book is thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining. The interaction and chemistry between the characters is great, I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.

The real killer does come after her and takes her…so now what? The killer is set to commit murder yet again but not just her! Also, did the suspected murderer commit other heinous crimes in the past? Be prepared to be surprised by another twist toward the end~ I received this as an ARC and am leaving a voluntary review.
Holy moly!!!! I absolutely ADORE this series. This is the second book of the adrenaline filled Stalker Series. Where it’s not 100% necessary to have read book one first, it might help to understand a few of the characters better. This series is FILLED with twists and turns, secrets, treachery, betrayal, heartache, friendships and family. Basically the making of a kick butt, adrenaline filled book! At the heart is a strong, wicked smart woman who fought every step of the way for all she has. Her family by choice is a wonderful group of highly successful women. All of whom would drop everything at the drop of a hat for each member of their sisterhood. So far two of these witty, amazing women have been the center of both books within this series. There are so many levels of deceit, drama , crazy adventure, psychological drama, and enjoyable.crazy… I devoured this book and can’t wait to see what the next in this series will be. I was cheering on our main character Gen, and her friends through the entire book. With every twist and turn of the story I held my breathe excited to see what was next!!! There were most definitely a few surprises along the way! I loved this so much I plan on re-reading the first in this series again
What a murder, mayhem, twist and turn this book has turned out to be and it may cause Gen her life, if Owen cannot connect the dots and find her
When a verdict of not guilty comes down during the trial of the century, Gen should be on top of the world. But when things are not all that they seem and she delves deeper into the real crime she uncovers answers that only led her into more and more trouble. But when Owen a detective on the case becomes too involved will they both become the next heads on the block? the reader wil be locked in form the prologue and hold onto your hats for the twist at the end!!
The first chapter is wonderful when all the ladies get together. You have four high profile women and their banter is hilarious. We move to Genevieve, a lawyer that has not lost a case that she has prosecuted, but she moves to the other side to defend a friend and mentor. After the verdict is given, things get sticky from there on in. She becomes obsessed in finding the truth. A detective, Owen Graham, keeps showing up at the most inopportune times. Douglas is wonderful as usual and where this story goes is quite a long and winding road. It was definitely a page turner, filled with so much tension. The last quarter of the book had me in quite the tizzy, my stomach was in knots just reading it. There’s a teaser at the end for the next book in this series and I can’t wait. I highly recommend this author, this book and this series.
I received this advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
This is a masterfully written romantic suspense. Gen is a bada$$ in her own right. As an attorney, Gen defends her mentor, Perry, after he is charged with murdering his wife and kids. Gen wins the trial for Perry, but other facts come to light and Gen turns to her arch nemesis, Owen, who is an investigator, to help her figure out the truth. What follows is nothing short of a whirlwind psychological suspense with a jaw dropping twist. I strongly suggest reading this when you have a large block of time, or are able to stay up late reading; this novel is a true page turner.
This author is able to masterfully weave an amazing story that will keep you reading well into the night!
Unequivocally a five star read for plot, character development and kindle tossing!
Why- a suspenseful thriller romance. I could not stop reading it. Hours of suspense and great characters. Genevieve, prosecutor turned defense attorney in a case that just turned my heart inside out. She literally runs for her life, trying to disentangle a case. She will find love along but she needs all her strength and wits to pull through. I love that she had the best friends and how her romantic interest rocked her world. I recommend this book, this series to anyone who loves suspense and romance.
This story is excellent and I’ll tell you Why
Why is the next story in the Stalker series and should definitely not be missedI have waited for what feels like ages to get my hands on this book but it was sooooo worth the wait
Genevieve is a badass prosecutor but when her boss Perry is accused of killing his family, he asks her to jump to the other side by defending him. Out of loyalty she does defend him, but now she’s questioning everything that she knows and unfortunately or maybe it’s fortunately, a sexy detective has gotten under her skin and might just save her from herself
Loved this story and I’m super excited to read Libby’s story next. Thank you to Megan for my advanced copy and I voluntarily leave my honest review
