About this ebook

Ready to dive into a dark mystery that will keep you guessing? Conviction is an addictive serial killer thriller with a romantic suspense twist. For fans of Rachel Abbott, Lucinda Berry, and Gillian Flynn.

A wrongful arrest. A killer who wants the credit.

"[A]n intense and suspenseful murder mystery. It captured me from the first chapter and held me enthralled until the final page." ~Susan Sewell, Reader's Favorite

"A white-knuckled thrill ride from first page to last." 

~New York Times Bestselling Author Andra Watkins

CONVICTION MEANS NOTHING WHEN YOU'RE DEAD WRONG. 

Shannon Taylor takes no prisoners--save the ones she tosses into lockup. Between convicting criminals as an Ash Park district attorney, dealing with her jerk ex-husband (who also happens to be her boss), and caring for her dying brother, Shannon is already stretched thin. So she's less than thrilled when new evidence from a closed case emerges--evidence suggesting she threw a young mother in jail for a murder she didn't commit. 

Shannon knows the girl is hiding something. But whatever the secret, it is even more compelling than the hope of freedom--the girl won't talk. 

When Shannon becomes the target of a series of cryptic and bloody warnings, she must find a way to protect everyone she holds dear. Will her persistence free an innocent woman? Or will her pursuit of the truth turn her family into helpless targets in a madman's game? 

Conviction runs deep. Courage runs deeper. And nothing in Ash Park is as it seems.

Conviction is the wildly provocative third novel in Ash Park series by bestselling author Meghan O’Flynn, though all novels in the Ash Park world can be read as standalones. If you’re a fan of J.D.Robb, Jennifer McMahon, or Laura Lippman, the Ash Park series is for you!

Ratings and reviews

when I got to part when the lawyer called her a F......B..... I stopped reading and scrolled to the end. you may think that I am old fashioned but I think people use such foul language to sell books. just my opinion.

Conviction was a good 4 star read. We start with the prologue where Shannon is in court prosecuting Ashley, a woman who is accused of killing her drug dealer boyfriend. This part is in Ashley’s POV. Did she really do it? What's going to happen to her baby? Shannon is proud that she got a conviction in her case, but was she really the killer? Ashley’s lawyer is convinced she didn’t do it and is determined to find the truth. When some leads come in on a case that she thought was closed, things start to take some interesting twists. Shannon also finds herself in danger. There were so many people that could be guilty my head was spinning and totally not who I thought when we finally get the answer. There were so many great characters, some likable some hateable. My heart went out to Ashley and what she was put through. This was a great edge of your seat read that pulled me right in. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

An excellent book. Fast paced and I never knew until the end who the killer was. I would highly recommend it.
