Cara Putman's The Accused reurns to the town of Kedgwick Virginia.In this new legal thriller Professor Margeaux Robbins and defense attorney Chase Crandall must find a way to work together to defend German student Annieliesse against charges that she murdered her roomate. This book was full of suspense. I found that the main story was good and the book was made even better by the sub plots. Ms. Putman's writing skills grow witheach new book she writes. I highly recommend the Accused to all who enjot leagal thrillers and romantic suspense.
I was given a copy of the Accused. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
"A brilliant novel that fans of the genre won't want to miss!"
—Tosca Lee, New York Times best-selling author of The Line Between
When a popular college student is murdered, her international roommate, Anneliese, becomes a prime suspect. But law professor Margeaux Robbins doesn't believe that the quiet, lonely German girl in her class is the killer.
Chase Crandall is a burned-out defense attorney ready to extricate himself from the grind of criminal law. After he loses a client to tragedy, he's ready for an in-house corporate position.
When Chase is assigned to Anneliese's case, Margeaux is horrified. She doesn’t want him to provide legal counsel—not after what happened to his past client. And not with the evidence incriminating Anneliese.
Despite their mutual misgivings, the lawyer and professor pair up to find the killer and prove Anneliese's innocence. Will they be able to untangle the mystery—and navigate their growing interest in one another—before the wrong person is charged with murder?
"Gripping and brimming with chemistry, this novel will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page."
—Lynette Eason, best-selling and award-winning author of the Lake City Heroes series
About the author:
Since the time I could read Nancy Drew, I have wanted to write mysteries. In 2005 I attended a book signing at my local Christian bookstore. The rest, as they say, is history.

Since those infamous words, I've been writing award-winning books with the count currently climbing to 40 published and more in the works.
In addition to writing, I am a mom of four, attorney, Clinical Associate Professor at a Big Ten university who also runs a center, and all around crazy woman. Crazy about God, my husband, and my kids. I graduated with honors from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Go Huskers!), George Mason Law School, and Purdue University's MBA program.
