Summary:
A young Harvard law student falls under the spell of a charismatic judge in this timely and thrilling novel about class, ambition, family and murder.
Madison Rivera lands the internship of a lifetime working for Judge Kathryn Conroy. But Madison has a secret that could destroy her career. Her troubled younger brother Danny has been arrested, and Conroy is the judge on his case.
When Danny goes missing after accusing the judge of corruption, Madison’s quest for answers brings her deep into the judge’s glamorous world. Is Kathryn Conroy a mentor, a victim, or a criminal? Is she trying to help Madison or use her as a pawn? And why is somebody trying to kill her?
As the two women circle each other in a dangerous cat-and-mouse game, will they save each other, or will betrayal leave one of them dead?
My thoughts:
Michele Campbell is becoming a go-to for the ultimate popcorn thriller. Her books are so twisty and addicting that you just can’t help but read in one or two sittings and this latest one is no exception!
I don’t read legal thrillers nearly as much as I should and this one reminded me just how much I enjoy them. This was such a fast-paced read with an incredible cat and mouse game that had me unable to pinpoint just what was going on or where things were heading. Told in multiple points of view, I found that both Madison and Kathryn proved to be equally compelling characters, even when they made questionable choices.
I flew through this one in a matter of hours. It was so addicting and such a thrilling ride from start to finish. Definitely recommend picking this one up!
