From AudioFile
Several years ago, architect Isabelle Flanders lost everything--her livelihood, her reputation, and her fiancé--when her former assistant framed her for a drunk driving accident that killed a family. Now Isabelle is asking her six friendsâ a.k.a. the Ladies of Pinewoodâ to help her, which they do with relish. Isabelle finds that there's nothing sweeter than revenge. The latest in Michaels's popular series finds an enthusiastic narrator in Laural Merlington, who sounds as though she's having a wonderful time throughout. And since the colorful cast of charactersâ including a terribly proper former MI6 operative, a newspaperman straight out of a 1940s movie, and a kittenish borderline-psychotic femme fataleâ is any actor's dream--she probably is.

From Booklist
Phenomenally prolific and inventive, Michaels writes traditional romances and romantic suspense, and hit it big with her Revenge of the Sisterhood series about a secret group of women vigilantes. Led by Myra Rutledge, who founded the group after her daughter was murdered and justice was not served, the sisterhood seeks payback for women whose lives have been violently derailed. In the fifth title, following The Jury (2005) and Vendetta (2005), it's Isabelle's turn for revenge by any means necessary. Several years ago, she was an architect on the fast track and hired Rosemary to help her firm meet demand, having no clue that Rosemary was so self-centered and driven she would let nothing and no one stand in the way of what she wanted and felt she deserved. This cold-blooded schemer managed to get into an accident that killed three people and seriously injured Isabelle. By the time Isabelle recovered, Rosemary had stolen her clients, her husband, and her reputation. Consequently, the sisterhood cooks up an elaborate scheme to bring Rosemary down in a very public manner. Highly imaginative and always entertaining, Michaels adds a worthy chapter to this increasingly popular series. Maria Hatton

Customer Reviews
Fantastic series
This series of books on the Sisterhood is impossible to lay down. I bought all the ones I could find and read them all in about a week. I also went and bought the two that follow it that involves the same characters. I am getting ready to mail them to my sister so she can enjoy them also

Another Good Book in the Series...
This is the fifth installment and it is time for Isabelle's revenge. One thing I like about these books is that it isn't always just about revenge for the sister, restitution is made to other victims as well. In this case, a little girl and her parents were killed, leaving behind a little boy with an elderly grandmother to care for him. Though nothing will bring his family back, he and his grandmother's future will be secured thanks to the Sisterhood.

I love how the sisters continue to grow and bond with each other. As they take control of their pasts, they are able to take control of their present lives and their future. For a fast, entertaining read, I recommend the entire series.
