The Intern: A Novel

Judge Kathryn Conroy is cool, smart, sharp as nails, and the mentor law student Maddy Rivera dreams of. When Maddy lands a coveted internship in Judge Conroy’s office, she thinks her future law career is set, but her brother Danny’s arrest and the judge’s secretive and possibly criminal past make her question everything in Michelle Campbell’s legal thriller The Intern.

Maddy and Judge Conroy are both keeping secrets about their past to protect themselves, but they can’t work together and keep those secrets from one another. Kathryn’s life seems to be in danger, though Maddy isn’t sure exactly why, and Maddy’s brother has found himself in the crosshairs of the mob, so darkness lurks around every corner. To save her brother, and to help the judge, Maddy will have to come clean. And Judge Conroy’s past, which she’s tried for so long to bury, will have to come to light.

While some of the plot twists were heavily foreshadowed, Kathryn’s backstory and Maddy’s commitment to her brother, as well as her complicated relationship with her mother, made The Intern a fun read.
