Wow! I was not expecting to like this book so much. I went into it with curiosity. This isn't my genre. I figured I'd like it and not love it. But from chapter 2 I was absolutely sucked into the plot. I finished the whole book in 48 hours. I couldn't put it down. So surprisingly delightful!
This is a fun novel! All the twists and turns of a thriller which involves the US Supreme Court and a lot of medical research made it a good read. It took me a while to get into it and I think some of the characters would benefit from greater development, but I am definitely interested in reading more Avery Keene novels.
This book was slightly disappointing. I had such high hopes! This was very political, which I knew going in, but because it's based on the US Justice system my knowledge was limited. I feel that this book required more in-depth knowledge to get the full experience. As such, I merely found it okay, and was let down. Would recommend it to US readers though
