•••••

REVIEW:THE INTERN by Michele Campbell is a contemporary, adult , legal thriller focusing on law student Madison Rivera, and Judge Kathryn Conroy.

Told from omniscient third person perspectives (Madison and Kathryn) following several intersecting time lines, THE INTERN follows in the wake of Madison Rivera’s position as Judge Kathryn Conroy’s new intern. Madison Rivera is desperate to prove her brother’s innocence and with the revelation of Judge Conroy’s connections to the case, Madison is determined to uncover the truth behind her brother’s arrest and ultimately his accusations of corruption against everyone involved but all does not go according to plan when Madison finds herself blackmailed into working in the gray areas for the woman who is currently the gate keeper to her brother’s freedom . As the story progresses, Madison will find herself in the middle of a decades old investigation of betrayal, murder, and questionable law enforcement.

THE INTERN is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, blackmail and murder, family, double cross and deception. Akin and reminiscent of the television show ‘How to Get Away with Murder’, THE INTERN focuses on a community of law makers on the take, using their positions of power to control everyone who gets in the way. The thought provoking premise is dramatic, detailed, complex and multi-layered; the characters are questionable, devious, tragic and impassioned.
