This shot to the top of my "all time greatest" legal thrillers list! I love the deviations from tropes and that Avery is a highly intelligent, but believable and fallible character. Complex subject matter was tackled very well, with enough info to follow, but not so much it became a bore. I can't WAIT to read what's next for Avery, and see what's to come for Stacey Abrams!
