Rogue Justice by Stacey Abrams

adventurous dark informative mysterious reflective tense medium-paced

4.0

Avery Keene is back and the story picks up four months after the conclusion of While Justice Sleeps, where Avery accused the President of United States of genocide and treason. Now the President’s under investigation and possible impeachment. Avery is not making friends in high places when a law clerk approaches her with a mysterious extortion and death of a federal judge and he gets killed in broad daylight right before her eyes - Avery is again embroiled in a dangerous and sinister plot by unknown hackers. 

Abrams blows me away with her great writing, mystery building and political intrigue, I’m hooked! What stands out to me the most are all the layers woven into the story and how they get revealed to the reader. I’m enjoying this ragtag group of crime solvers and especially like the interactions between Avery and Agent Lee, they almost have a daughter-father relationship and it really makes me care and root for them when all these events are against them. 

I’m pretty sure I’ll be reading whatever Stacey puts out next and I hope we get more of Avery’s books!
