Occasionally I read a book that just leaves me annoyed. This was one of those. The story line looked very promising but it was written almost as it the author didn't know what to do with it. The premise that Sophie was imprisoned although innocent and was exonerated by the victim's husband in a deathbed confession had promise. You were eager to see what she was going to do with her life now. It was never reasonably explained why the prosecuter, Spencer, was seeking her out after she was released or and what he planned to do if he found her. However, a big portion of the book was taken up with this line of thought. . . how much he hated her for ruining his political career and she hated him for robbing her of 10 years of her life, etc. Then Sophie and Spencer both had these strange and very sudden personality changes. At the end I was just puzzled. I was left feeling cheated and annoyed that I purchased this book.

Mikala Aulani is a defense attorney in the case of State of Georgia v. Sophie Lee. Sophie Lee a private nurse taking care of Audrey Star has been charged in the death of Audrey Star. Much to Mikala (Kala's) dismay the jury has found Sophie guilty and is sentence to life in prison without parole. Hatred for Ryan Spenser, the prosecutor, makes Kala's blood boil. She plans to some how bring him down.
Fast forward to ten years later; Kala is in the process of packing up her office and looking forward to retirement. Adam Star, the deceased husband of Audrey's, unexpectedly shows up at Kala's office. He drops a bomb shell on Kala and her staff. Adam claims he killed his wife and not Sophie. It is obvious to Kala that Adam is a sick man. He is dying and he wanted to make amends before he passes away. He leaves the entire Star Estate to Sophie to make up for the 10 years she spent in prison.
This is the chance Kala has been waiting for. She wants Ryan Spenser to pay for his huge mistake when he convinced jurors that Sophie was guilty of killing Audrey Star. Kala wants to ruin Ryan for taking away 10 years of Sophie's life. She is bringing him down.
Author Fern Michaels makes this book a real page turner. The characters come alive for the reader. I love the fact that she made Kala such a strong woman and a force to reckon with. This is the first book of Fern Michaels that I have read. I am looking forward to reading other books that she has written.
This book holds many twists and yes a few hidden mysteries. Just when you think you have it all figured out there is another added twist.
I wish to thank Kensington Publishing for providing me with an ARC to read and review. The opinions expressed are mine alone.

Out of the hundreds of books I've read just since Jan. this is one of the top 2.
Tuesday's Child by Fern Michaels
Things always go from bad to worse on Tuesdays. The whole book comes down to the day of the week, in the most important of things that happen.
Mikala was just about to retire but the one case she lost the defender walked in and declared he had killed his wife. He wants her client to have all of his estate after he's dead within a weeks time. Sophia has been in jail for 10 years now.
When Sophia is released it's up to Kala's law firm to get her the money that is deserved her and to prosecute the lawyer who brought this to trial.
Love the travel, and mostly the familiness of the 4 orphans. Love to hear how their lives have progressed over the years.
Loved hearing how she spent her first days free from prison.
Both sides are going through and over all the testimony, transcripts, evidence, etc. to try to figure out who's to blame for the death.
Kala is now planning on marrying her retired judge Ben and living in Hawaii. They have hidden Sophia til things settle down.
All of Sophie's friends from the orphanage are together, contemplating the reunion with their friend.
Just when you think the end is near something else happens to make you think, wow this could really happen and just when things are figured out, they are not really.
Out of the hundreds of books I've read since Jan. 2012 this is the best by far on so many counts.
The travel, the sincere emotion while reading this, the familiness of the orphans and because of the way the characters are introduced they are not confusing and overwhelming because there are quite a few of them.

This book was not worth my time! How do two of the main characters totally change their personalities on a dime!?
Where we're the "twists and turns"? It was not only poorly written but poorly researched! The Hawaii portion was wrong in so many ways it is not even slightly credible. I think this was a very poor effort on the part of the author.
Save your time and money. If you want to read a great book about Hawaii try Honolulu by Alan Brennert.

Tuesday's child was a running commentary of childish fits of temper, manipulation and posturing. It did nothing to provide a context for the story and the ending had little to do with the rest of the story. I did try to read the entire book but it was a chore - something I have never felt before in reading Ms. Michael's books. The primary character of the book is a spoiled, self-serving diva who expects everyone to cater to her every whim even before she reveals the direction of her latest demands.
Very disappointing.
