THE INTERN by Michele Campbell - Review

 


Get ready for Michele Campbell's new fast-moving political crime thriller, THE INTERN (StMartinsPress).

Madison Riviera is at the top of her class at Harvard Law School when she lands an internship with her idol, Judge Kathryn Conroy. But both have secrets that could get them killed.

THE INTERN is about status, family. ambition and murder. Think John Grisham and John Sandford on steroids. I was immediately captured by the narrative and loved the characters, especially the shady ones.  So many things are happening in the numerous plots, I wondered how Campbell could pull it all together. Well, she did. I definitely didn't expect the ending.

Thank you St. Martins Press for providing a copy of THE INTERN for an honest review. FYI: I hope this is turned into a movie or mini series.




Michele Campbell is a graduate of Harvard College and Stanford Law School and a former federal prosecutor in New York City who specialized in international narcotics and gang cases.

A while back, she said goodbye to her big-city legal career and moved with her husband and two children to an idyllic New England college town a lot like Belle River in IT’S ALWAYS THE HUSBAND. Since then, she has spent her time teaching criminal and constitutional law and writing novels.

She's had many close female friends, a few frenemies, and only one husband, who – to the best of her knowledge – has never tried to kill her.
