Stacey Abrams once again shows us how talented she is, but this time as a legal thriller author. This book introduces us to the remarkable Avery Keene, a law clerk at the U.S. Supreme Court for Justice Howard Wynn. Abrams does a marvelous job engulfing Keene with intrigue, espionage, assassinations, and family trauma. She also does a fantastic job writing an enticing cast of characters to round out Keene's storyline. Abrams ability to use her legal and political expertise is reminiscent of author Richard North Patterson and John Grisham. Abrams continues to demonstrate her gifts in many areas.

Enjoyed this book immensely! Very well written and researched.

Overall I really loved the book. It kept my interested & I found myself reading as often as I could get it in. I found some of the legal terminology unknown to me & had to constantly look up a lot of the words. Afterwards I was still a bit confused as to the what & why’s of the situations they were used in. While I liked the ending, I was hoping to know if the judge ever woke up, was he able to reunite with his son, did Avery get with the son and I was hoping Avery was finally able to speak to the judge even if it were briefly. Lastly I really wanted to know whatever happened to Vance’s character. Where did he go.? Why did he drug Avery? Hopefully Vance will appear in future books as I see Stacy already has a part 2 that I can’t wait to read. Overall this was a page turner. I hope the other book is longer

The storyline is well thought out and masterfully articulated. Stacy Abram’s talents are reflected in this work. I’ve enjoyed reading this story. The middle was a bit slow and lacked realism; but that’s fiction. Looking forward to the next one!

I really looked forward to an exception read because I like and support Ms.Abrams and everything for which she stands. Unfortunately, her story didn’t ring true to me and feel so far short of my expectations that I won’t invest in another of her novels. The story was truly unrealistic, the heroine, supernatural and the plot too contrived. Ms. Abrams is entirely cerebral and this mindset bled into the storyline and unfortunately, hemorrhaged.

Excellent read! Stacy Abrams has another gift! Bonus points - I had to keep my dictionary handy! Talk about mastery of grammar and descriptive vocabulary! 💜👏🏽👍🏽😊 Can’t wait to read the next book 📖

The main character is developed within a good story line, but then goes overboard with too many plots and side stories that limits the realism of the main story line.

Probably the most exciting book I have read. When I wasn’t actively reading I was thinking about it. This book really consumed my routines.

Politics aside, fantastic read! Well written and great story!!

While Justice Sleeps is a real action, mystery mind read. I love the play on words for the title. It is full of drama and suspense. I’m looking forward to the movie or series and the next chapters as Justice Wynn regains consciousness and Avery and Jared’s romance begins. Thank you Stacey Abrams for this delightful read. 🙏🏽🙌🏽📖
