Book Review: Coded Justice by Stacey Abrams (Avery Keene #3)

Coded Justice Coded Justice by Stacey Abrams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Avery Keene is back, working as an internal investigator for a DC law firm.  The general counsel for a prominent AI firm wants to hire her prior to their upcoming IPO to review a recent incident.  Avery gathers her team together - Jared, Ling and Noah - and they get to work investigating.

3 1/2 stars upgraded to 4 stars.  This is the third book in the Avery Keene series.  I thoroughly enjoyed the fast paced energy and themes of the first two books, but was disappointed with this one.  The 400+ pages are a deep dive into the world of artificial intelligence and its implementation as a clinical decision making tool at a VA clinic, making for a little too much 'inside baseball' and not enough action.  However, I appreciate the information and background provided on the subject.
