The Intern by Michele Campbell
3.0
Fasten your seatbelts, folks! We’re diving into the thrilling world of “The Intern” by Michele Campbell, a psychological thriller that’s more twisty than a roller-coaster ride through a house of mirrors.
The narrative revolves around Madison Rivera, a Harvard law student who lands an internship with her professor, the formidable Judge Kathryn Conroy. However, Madison’s secrets threaten to undermine her career. When her brother Danny is arrested and Conroy presides over his case, the plot thickens. Danny’s disappearance, following accusations of corruption against the judge, propels Madison into a quest for truth within Conroy’s glamorous world.
Campbell’s storytelling prowess shines through in this fast-paced storyline, making it an addictive and cinematic page-turner. The story unfolds through alternating perspectives and timelines, enriching the characters and the plot. The protagonists are strong, independent, intelligent women who support each other in their collective survival.
Despite being action-packed, the quality of the action is questionable. Our leading ladies, Madison and Kathryn, are top-tier legal professionals who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty. They are depicted as successful despite their challenging backgrounds and leading their families. Yet, their actions and strategies do not reflect these traits, especially when their adversaries are portrayed as malevolent but not particularly astute. Their characters might have been more believable if they had come from affluent backgrounds with fewer concerns. Some plot developments seem contrived and conveniently structured to facilitate a happy ending.
So, buckle up for a wild ride with “The Intern”. It’s a legal thriller that packs a punch of suspense and action, even with its occasional speed bumps.
