While Justice Sleeps by Stacey Abrams was a read that surprised me and was a really intriguing political and legal thriller that felt like it could have been from a real Presidential term in recent history.
Avery Keene is a law clerk to Justice Howard Wynn, who is often the deciding Jurist on a split Supreme Court. When he falls into a coma, Avery finds that she is the one who the Justice haw decided has his life in her hands, above those of his wife, who he is divorcing, and estranged son, who had been in the Navy, working intelligence.
As her world quickly spirals, can Avery solve the puzzle pieces that leaves a bread crumb trail only she seems to see, save justice and bring down the heart of government in one fell swoop...
I borrowed a copy of this book from Taunton Library and listened to it on cloudLibrary. I read this for prompt 45, chapter headings have dates, for the 52 Book Club Reading Challenge 2024.
