From Booklist
It's Nikki's turn for payback in the latest installment in Michaels' Revenge of the Sisterhood series. Everyone believes she'll go after her former fiance, Jack, who has sworn to bring the ladies down for stepping outside the law to bring restitution to those denied justice by legal means. But Nikki has no intention of doing so. In fact, she gets back together with him after they agree that Jack will not actively pursue the Sisterhood in his new job as the Washington, D.C., district attorney, and Nikki agrees that she no longer feels entirely comfortable with their operation. None of the other sisters has any idea that they have reached this understanding. Then the wife of the National Security Advisor, who regularly beats her, has finally had enough. While she recuperates, the Sisterhood enacts revenge on her behalf. Fast paced and jam-packed with action, Michaels' new romantic suspense novel will please fans of her bloodthirsty-for-a-good-cause women. Maria Hatton

SUPERIOR READING OF SISTERHOOD SERIES

Fern Michaels knows a winner when she writes one, so she's penning stories in her Sisterhood Series at quite a pace. Latest out of the shoot is a fourth, The Jury, another saga in the pursuit of justice by a group of seven women who some time ago decided that life wasn't fair and they were going to do what they could to tip the scales in their direction.

First introduced to us in "Weekend Warriors," these are gals who will stop at nothing (well, almost) to protect or avenge one of their own. Now, they extend their caring arms to a new friend - Paula Woodley. She has been the victim of an abusive marriage with the broken bones and zero self-esteem to show for it. The perpetrator of such cruelty? A wealthy, respected Washington high roller, Karl Woodley, the national security advisor himself and a good buddy of the president.

Paula felt she didn't have a prayer is she stood up to him - she hadn't counted on the help of the Sisterhood.

Laural Merlington's reading of Weekend Warriors won me, and that appreciation grew even stronger upon hearing her narratives of Vendetta and Payback. She has a smooth, easy-to-listen-to voice that is now identified with this series. Her take on each of these intrepid women is superior.

Enjoy!

A DISAPPOINTING NUMBER FOUR
This book is number four in The Sisterhood series from Fern Michaels. After much excitement, suspense and surprises in the first three books, Weekend Warriors, Payback & Vendetta, this one, The Jury, is a big disappointment. Although we are led to believe that Nikki will choose Jack as her revenge, she chooses him for something else. Her turn ends up getting put off till certain people can be located and it's frustrating when you think her revenge will be one thing and ends up being another, which isn't really her "turn" at all. I wasn't on the edge of my seat like I was with the other books.

Confused by the plot
While I have enjoyed other Fern Michaels Revenge of the Sisterhood books, this book was confusing in the beginning, perplexing in the middle and a let down in the end. First, why was there even a plot about extracting revenge for the horse farm owners, then abruptly that plot went away, conveniently resolving the issue on its own? There wasn't any good reason to even have that plot in the book. And how did the fired attorney just go away on her own? And (caution-spoiler to follow), why in the world was the daughter of the judge killed off (unless there's another story line here)? It added nothing to the book! And the ending-why oh why would the wife of the National Security Advisor come out of hiding to be with her husband after the guy was almost beaten to death in retaliation by the Sisterhood? Why would she even want to be near him? I haven't a clue.
