Deja Vu by Fern Michaels is the latest book in her long-running Sisterhood series about a group of female friends.

The Sisters have received a presidential pardon and are no longer fugitives, but they find that being ordinary citizens is a little boring. So when the president asks the Sisters to track down Hank Jellicoe, a vicious killer wanted by several government agencies, they happily agree. Jellicoe got away from the Sisters once before, and they're not about to let him slip through their fingers again and escape being brought to justice ...

I don't really know how to classify this book. It's not a romance, but there's not enough action in it for it to be a straight thriller either. I guess I'll go with women's fiction.

I thought a book about female vigilantes sounded like a fun read, but I had a lot of problems with this book. Mainly, I hard a hard time figuring out who was who and what their relationship to all the other characters was. There are a lot of characters in this book -- a lot of characters -- and it didn't seem to me like Michaels described any of them all that well. Now, my confusion could partly be because this is something like the 19th book in the series, and I haven't read any of the other ones. But I had a hard time even finding the characters' last names in places and figuring out whom was married to whom. All that gave me a headache after awhile.

The plot moves along at a fairly steady clip, but everything seems to happen too easily for the Sisters. In one scene, Jellicoe plants a bug at the Sisters' compound, and in the next, they find and neutralize it. It just didn't seem to me like the Sisters had to struggle at all. Plus, not that many pages were devoted to Jellicoe. I think the book would have been more interesting if he'd been plotting something major against the sisters.

Overall, this one just didn't work for me on a lot of levels.
