While Justice Sleeps was everything I thought I wanted and more. From the characters to the race against the clock plot? This is a book I thoroughly enjoyed and every page kept thinking: "okay what's going to happen next."

Here are some of the many things I enjoyed:
The setting was well established. Being from the DC-area I can be a stickler for details and nuances, but I felt like this book was completely spot on and I felt immersed, 

I found the characters the main and main-minor characters to be believable and interesting. I was also rooting for them, I love to root for characters in race against the clock plots like this.

The plot of this legal thriller was interesting and complex in its reveal, but not so much that I felt lost in the language of the legal and political system that's intertwined within the story.

This book could honestly be turned into a Netflix original tv series or film with everything it has going on and with how captivating it is.

If you like shows like House of Cards, Alias, The Mentalist, or any show or movie where the civilians have to kick ass and unravel the shady dealings of the government behind the scenes? Plot driven as opposed to character driven novels? I would definitely pick this up.

Thank you @doubledaybooks for this #gifted physical copy!
