Narrator Adenrele Ojo marshals listeners through While Justice Sleeps, Stacey Abrams’s complicated legal-political-medical thriller with ease. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss the engaging, fast-paced plot involving the Supreme Court, weaponized genetics, and a corrupt president. At the center is the brilliant Supreme Court clerk Avery Keene, whom Ojo portrays with just the right amount of emotion as she goes from a hard-working clerk to being thrust into the center of a wide-ranging conspiracy. Ojo’s clear vocal differentiation will help listeners follow the points of view of the many characters, making for a smart and intense listen.
