I have read 2 of the author's books in the Sasha McCandless legal thriller series and loved them both. If you didn't see them:
Inadvertent Disclosure
Irreparable Harm
This is another one that it took me a while to get to and I am pretty sure I got it from my own funds-or maybe back then it was free on Amazon--who knows--my age is showing!!
At any rate this book will catch you from the first page and not let you go until the very end. It is definitely a legal mystery thriller!! What could happen if a security devise could be constructed that no one besides the person making it could hack? And what if there were some really bad guys who didn't want to get caught in the cross hairs of a Federal trial? Can Aroostine, an assistant US attorney, get to the bottom of all if this. Will her marriage be salvaged and can she cause a mistrial so that the trial can begin again?
About the Book: (from Amazon)
Sabotage. Arson. Attempted murder. Dealing with terrible crimes is Aroostine Higgins’s job as an assistant US attorney in the Department of Justice’s elite Criminal Division. Except this time, she’s the victim—and the perpetrator is a faceless mastermind who’s derailing her life. He makes her latest court case vanish, he sets her home ablaze, and he nearly kills her when she undergoes surgery, all from behind the terrifying veil of anonymity.
Aided by a brilliant computer programmer, this mysterious and lethal man can access every detail of the attorney’s life. There’s no havoc he can’t wreak with a few dangerous keystrokes—and nothing he won’t do to achieve his goals. When the person she loves most is abducted, Roo must risk her career—and her life—to save him.

I'm sitting here trying to think if I've read a legal thriller before. I know I've read thrillers (a fave) and I know I've read legal, but together I'm not sure? It sounds good though!
I really love the title of the book. That alone makes me want to read and takes my mind on a whirlwind..
I love reading thriller books but not sure about legal. Sounds like a great read though, full of twist turns.
You know... I don't usually have time to read,.. But I brought 4 books to Las Vegas with me. I read one of them but the other 3 are so bad I can't get into them. The Irreparable Harm book sounds very interesting to me.
Legal, mystery thriller? Sound like something I've never read and would enjoy. Do you have a favorite genre?
That looks like a great read. I love when books capture you at the first page.

I don't think I've ever heard of a legal thriller before. Or maybe I have. Is John Grisham considered a legal thriller author? In any case, this does sound very interesting!

My husband writes thriller novels. He would probably end up liking this one

This is my kind of book. I had to laugh at her bio about her writing and basically pretending the kids aren't there.
