While Justice Sleeps: A Novel by Stacey Abrams
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • A gripping, complexly plotted thriller set within the halls of the U.S. Supreme Court, where a young law clerk finds herself embroiled in a shocking mystery crafted by one of the most preeminent judges in America—from celebrated national leader and bestselling author Stacey Abrams. "Abrams follows in Dan Brown’s footprint with this masterfully plotted thriller that unfolds like the ultimate chess match—bold move to bolder move with lives hanging in the balance."—Lisa Gardner, author of Before She Disappeared "A first-class legal thriller, favorably compared to many of the best, starting with The Pelican Brief, which it brings to mind . It’s fast-paced and full of surprises—a terrific read."—Scott Turow, author of Presumed Innocent Avery Keene, a brilliant young law clerk for the legendary Justice Howard Wynn, is doing her best to hold her life together—excelling in an arduous job with the court while also dealing with a troubled family. When the shocking news breaks that Justice Wynn—the cantankerous swing vote on many current high-profile cases—has slipped into a coma, Avery’s life turns upside down. She is immediately notified that Justice Wynn has left instructions for her to serve as his legal guardian and power of attorney. Plunged into an explosive role she never anticipated, Avery finds that Justice Wynn had been secretly researching one of the most controversial cases before the court—a proposed merger between an American biotech company and an Indian genetics firm, which promises to unleash breathtaking results in the medical field. She also discovers that Wynn suspected a dangerously related conspiracy that infiltrates the highest power corridors of Washington. As political wrangling ensues in Washington to potentially replace the ailing judge whose life and survival Avery controls, she begins to unravel a carefully constructed, chesslike sequence of clues left behind by Wynn. She comes to see that Wynn had a much more personal stake in the controversial case and realizes his complex puzzle will lead her directly into harm’s way in order to find the truth. While Justice Sleeps is a cunningly crafted, sophisticated novel, layered with myriad twists and a vibrant cast of characters. Drawing on her astute inside knowledge of the court and political landscape, Stacey Abrams shows herself to be not only a force for good in politics and voter fairness but also a major new talent in suspense fiction.

This clever and complex legal thriller was a a pleasant surprise. The synopsis above is a good summary of the book, so I wont spoil any other details, and will instead just give my overall opinions: The story seems to move a pace that is a bit slower than other thrillers that I have read, but it wasn't so slow that I got bored. There are also quite a few technical terms, from both the medical field and the legal system, and if you are not familiar with the terminology or concepts then I would imagine that would slow the pace even more if you wanted to look them up. Even some chess knowledge could be helpful in getting through the story, and although all of this information isn't really completely necessary to understand the plot, it is certainly helpful. I personally appreciated the depth and complexity of the story, and I felt like all of the technical information just added a level of realism. There is something about the writing style that doesn't seem completely polished; so it felt to me that the plot of the book was a 9/10, while the way the story was told was something like 7/10. There are plenty of interesting characters though, and some nice twists that kept me reading. It isn't easy to write a story like this where the protagonist has to solve complicated puzzles, and overall I was impressed at Abrams' ability to put it all together. Overall a smart, complex, puzzle-solving legal thriller, with elements of politics and medical technology. It might be a little harder than your average thriller to get through at times, but if you stick with it, it really is a pretty good story.
