"The Intern" by Michelle Campbell is a Fantastic Legal Thriller
The Intern by Michele Campbell is one of the best legal thrillers I ever read! This is about a Harvard intern, Madison, to a crooked Judge, Kathryn Conroy. Both women find themselves in compromising positions through no fault of their own. I got into this book right from the start and kept turning pages very quickly! The plot was well developed, the characters interesting and believable, suspense galore and a great ending! The judge even had a cat that actually had a role in the book that I enjoyed very much. I loved this one and highly recommend it! (Karen's review, 5 stars)
In The Intern by Michele Campbell, Madison gets a dream job--an intern for a well-respected lady judge. The judge likes her, and Madison feels she is on a fast track to where she wants to go. However, soon her dream job turns into a nightmare! This is a good read with good characters and an easy-to-follow storyline. It has good action too in the second half of the book. (5+ stars)

Jump forward 15 years and when she sees Connor again, her old feelings return. There are warning signs that she should stay away, but will her heart win over her brain?

"The Power Couple" by Alex Berenson
In The Power couple by Alex Berenson, Rebecca and Brian decide to go to Europe for their 20th wedding anniversary with their kids. Unfortunately, their daughter is kidnapped and they must work together to find her! This book was okay, but went back and forth in time which broke up the story for me. I liked the twist at the end, but feel this could have used more action. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

"The Only One Left" by Riley Sager is Amazing!
The Only One Left by Riley Sager, is the best book I've read this year by far! It starts out a bit slow, but boy, does it pick up! It's about Kit, a caregiver, who is hired to take care of a paralyzed person who was suspected of murder and lives in a big spooky house at the top of cliff. Kit is hired soon after the previous caregiver mysteriously left. This book has it all--mystery, suspense, action, devious characters, creepy fathers and lots of surprise twists with a great ending! This was crazy good! Loved it and highly recommend it. (Karen's review, 5 stars)
Gerard's review 10/2023:
In The Only One Left by Riley Sager, Kit becomes a caregiver for Lenora Hope. It is believed Lenora killed her parents, but no proof was found. Kit is afraid after a few days but needs the money so stays on the job. She is soon to be a lot more frightened! This book is amazing! It has lots of twists and turns with an easy storyline to follow. The characters are great too. If you think you know how it all plays out, trust me, you do not! Must read this one! (5++ stars)
