I just finished reading this book about 10 minutes ago. I found this book to be a disappointment. As others have pointed out this isn't Fern Michaels typical writing style. Great story until about the last 50 pages or so. After that it seemed like even Ms. Michaels just wanted to book to be done with.

The main character Sophie Lee starts off being convicted for killing her patient. Years later the patients husband submits a deathbed confession stating that he was the one who killed his wife. Sop More...

Now Sophie's life is on the line when her patient is found murdered. Georgia attorney Mikala, "Kala" Aulani defended Sophie to the b More...

This was a typical Fern Michael's book where there are many characters that you want to get to know and she does not disappoint. A young caregiver is charged and found guilty of murdering her charge, a very wealthy bed-ridden women married to a man who would do anything for her. Sophie is sent to prison and ten years later the tides turn and the murderer confesses (no spoiler alert, this happens early in the story). How Sophie and her lawyers respond to the reversal, how Sophie's life changes, a More...

This was an amazing who done it. There are several twists in the storyline but the ending left me a little let down (I think I kind of figured out what was going on and who really did it and what happens to them is sad but somehow unsatisfying). But I loved the settings and the references to Tuesdays. I was also interested in all the background research done into the characters lives. The interaction of all the characters was well involved and there's plenty of action that keeps the storyline mo More...

Well, I am done reading this book and my first thought when starting to write this review is how fitting the catch phrase “not everything is as it seems” is to this book.

It seemed this was going to be a great story and it was until the end, what a let down and disappointment, I felt like I was deprived of what could have been a great ending.

I do think the background and the characters were well developed, but I just don’t understand how Sophie’s thoughts towards her future changed so drasticall More...

This is a goodreads free giveaway book for me. This is one of the author's better books. The story involves a nurse, wrongly convicted of killing a rich bedridden woman, who is freed after serving ten years of her sentence when the dead woman's husband confesses to the murder. Why he waited so long to confess and whether this is true or not makes up the basic plot of the novel. The story also covers a rivalry between the wrongly convicted woman's lawyer and the prosecutor who won the case agains More...

I had trouble reading this book, the way the dialogue was written was just off. The characters were like cardboard cutouts of real people and the whole thing just didn't come together. The story premise was good, a young woman wrongly convicted of murder, and then being saved by a death bed confession. That this confession also made her very wealthy was a bit of a stretch for me. All in all, I was kind of disappointed with this and read through it quickly just to get it over with.

TUESDAY’S CHILD was an okay read for me. The characters were well developed and I found myself able to relate to them. As the story went on, I did however, find myself putting the book down which was a little disappointing. It was slow in spots, but once I got past that, it continued to pull me in but not enough. Overall, it was a good read.

Received from the publisher for an honest review by MY BOOK ADDICTION AND MORE.

While Tuesday's Child was an enjoyable read, it certainly wasn't one of Ms. Michaels' best. I just kept reading it because I hate to waste money.

Side note: I enjoy reading books set in my beloved Hawai'i, but am disappointed when an author doesn't seem to authenticate very much, which only perpetuates ignorance and/or prejudice. Case in point: Mikala, the attorney's first name, isn't a Hawaiian name. It's the "Hawaiianized" version of the name Michelle. If the attorney were truly of Hawaiian de More...

Tuesday's Child is one of those books that gets better as it goes. It didn't hook me right away, and it took me awhile to get into it. But, there was just enough mystery to keep my interest. As it became clear that not all was what it seemed, I devoured the rest of the book. Although it was light on the suspense and the romance, the book was enjoyable enough for a relaxing afternoon read.

I can not honestly say if I liked this book or not. Its not a typical Fern Michaels read. It’s not quite a love story but it is not a Weekend Warrior either. Kala has been Sophie Lee’s lawyer for ten years. Sophie was tried and convicted for a murder she didn’t commit and now its time to set everything strait again. Everything was great until the last fifty pages or so. The tone of the novel changed from a happy cheerful read to something darker and it never seemed to come out of that funk. The More...

Average read about an attorney and her client (woman) who was convicted and sent to jail for a 10 year sentence although innocent. The book focuses in turn on different characters in the story and their perspective on the situation. No problems with language or content. Would make an okay beach read - kind of fluffy, not a lot of depth to the characters, you don't have to work very hard to read it, etc.

This was one of the worst written books I have ever read. The plot really didnt make sense. The characters were so weak in their development that their personalities changed from one paragraph to the next. I am not a writer but I think I could've written a better book. I haven't read any of Fern Michaels other books but if they are anything like this one no thanks.

I enjoyed the book except the last pages. It was as if everything was hurriedly thrown in so the book could be finished. I think the ending could have the same conclusion but could have been handled differently. I dislike when you have antagonist in a story then at the end of the book everyone makes nice and its finished with a bow on it. Disappointing ending.

Sophie Lee was convicted of murder and served 10 years of her sentence when the real killer came forward. I love legal/attorney stories so found it very interesting how they attacked the prosecuting attorney. I like Fern Michael's books; she always has a surprise at the end. This time, no surprise as I figured it out.

I can't decide about this book. I usually love Fern Michaels but I don't know if it was too many characters going here and there or if it was just my mind set, but I struggled to finish this on. It finally really grabbed my attention towards the last quarter of the book but I didn't like how it ended. . . .

So far very good. Gotta read my book club selection first. Was a decent quick read. Not the best book I have ever read, but it is a good in between reads book. I have never read Fern Micheals before, I thought she was a Romance Novelist, which I hate, but this turned out to be that, so I was surprised but not a thriller like I was wanting but it was OK 5 on a 1-10 scale.

This was a quick read which was tolerable until the last chapter. I don't want to spoil it for Fern Michaels' fans but I didn't see how characters can change their personalities in a short airplane ride. I won't be reading any more of her books - too shallow characters and no depth to the plot.

Wrong assumptions about people and situations leads to wrong conclusions. Good story line, but derogatory language was a huge detraction, as it was certainly not necessary for the story line to be developed. It was particularly distracting in listening to the book.

I had never read a book by Fern Michaels but now I am hooked. This was a good suspense book that I couldn't put down. I read it in two days. I was a little disappointed at the end but I guess it went with the characters luck as Tuesday wasn't her lucky day anymore.

Fern Michaels never disappoints.

Kala is getting ready to retire after 35 years of practicing law with her partner Ben, a retired judge. Her plan is go home to mainland Hawaii and spend time with her family, her beautiful home, garden, ocean, etc. She was never able to solve a case where her client spent 10 years in prison for murder and no one ever believed she was guilty.

"Remember nothing is ever as it seems" is the mantra throughout the story.

After many twists and turns and Kala and Ben not re More...

I love a good mystery and this book had my interest to the very end. I liked the Hawaiian flavor/background. It was a fast read, one of those that I hated to end but it would be a good one for sequel to take it further than just the short epilog.

I'm reading this on my Kindle Fire, and I have read 57%.

I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop in this book, and I wasn't disapointed. The prosecutor, seemed to be hated by everyone. Remember, that everything might not be as it seems!

I had not previously read any books by this author and only read this one because it was selected by my book club this month. I honestly found the book to be rather syrupy and predictable. It was just not my type of book, not meaty enough.

This "Tuesday's Child" is NOT "full of grace." It is an Ok book but I am not drawn to read anymore by Michaels. The characters are a bit of a stretch, one goes from prisoner to multi-millionaire. Enough said.
