The Sisterhood: a group of women from all walks of life bound by friendship and a quest for justice. Armed with vast resources, top-notch expertise, and a loyal network of allies around the globe, the Sisterhood will not rest until every wrong is made right. It’s been three months since Countess Annie de Silva slipped away from her home before dawn, leaving a cryptic note and no clue as to her … no clue as to her destination. That’s an eternity for friends as devoted as the Sisterhood. Now they’re desperate to ensure that their founding member is alive and well, and that means tracking her down—wherever in the world she might be.
Myra Rutledge, Annie’s closest confidante, knows the secrets of Annie’s past, including the remote mountain in Spain where Annie spent some of the best—and worst—days of her life. Annie vowed that she’d never return to the mountain or the stunning monastery there. But the memories of the past have called her back. Now, she needs allies who are fearless, loyal, and willing to do whatever it takes to see justice done. And with the safety of one of their own on the line, the Sisterhood won’t let her down . . .

I’ve read quite a few books in this particular series. They generally fell into one of three categories for me. I either thought it was Just Okay, I liked it or I loved it. This one is a solid I liked it.
I will say that I thought Myra made kind of a bone head decision when she went haring off to try to save Annie. But I get her emotional motive too. She loves Annie like a sister and has for years; they are tight.
This time around Annie and Myra are more all on their own. They encounter unusual circumstances but also some unusual help too!
Not to worry their “Calvary” does show up to help them. Their Calvary included both the female and male versions of their select group. That included multi-talented Cyrus who finally gets to put the bite on someone in the story. For those of you who don’t know Cyrus is an unusual dog who owns Nikki and Jack. And he would be highly offended if anyone was to call him just a dog. Although in this story his quirkiness isn’t as up front as in the other stories.
I will say that even if you haven’t read any of the other books in this series, it would still be pretty easy to follow. You’d miss some of the background that would have added more depth but you wouldn’t get lost.
I also liked the touch of softness that we got to see with Avery Snowden, the super spy.
Everything comes to a good conclusion which is covered in the Epilogue. With a sweet surprise that Annie, The Countess helps bring about.
However, I sure would have liked to see more of what happens to Enrico. In the “old days” of this series there was more of a punishment that fit the crime and we would see where the villain ended up. I know it might not seem nice but I miss that. Only part of the move against him was seen. The rest was left to the imagination once Snowden helped remove him. It was like “pouf” he was just gone.

I’ve always thought of Fern Michaels as a romance writer, but Cut and Run is more of a thriller. Even though this was the thirtieth book in the Sisterhood series, the book’s plot was easy enough to follow. The book begins when Annie (the Countess) disappears for three months. When Myra goes in search of Annie in the mountains near Barcelona, Spain, she discovers that Annie had been kidnapped by Enrico Aciles, the illegitimate son of her dead husband. The plot develops around the kidnapping and the Sisterhood’s attempts to find and free Annie and Myra. The women’s husbands help, as does Avery the spymaster. Various other characters play key roles, helping to keep up the book’s fast pace.
I have followed all the series. Enjoyed them!
The Sisterhood is a great series and Fern Michaels is a Wonderful author. Cut and Run is a book that I had looked forward to. It did not disappoint. Countess Annie de Silva is in trouble and the other Sisters will move mountains to help her. Love it!
Can the Countess (and NOW Myra) be saved from the brothers that want her money? Will the Sisters and the men get there in time? A must read if you love the Sisterhood series.
I have been reading Fern Michaels books for 40 years and she never disappoints. I love the sisterhood series.
Always enjoy the Sisterhood books. The comradery, the solving of the problems, the happy ending, and especially the bad guys getting their justice served up to them.
Love all of the Sisterhood books.
Fern Michaels knows how to keep you turning the pages. Awesome adventure.
another successful sisterhood episode. always intriging and excellent.
I love this series
A good summer read.
Great read
Light reading.
30th in the series with all the sisters and men … even Snowden had his own scenes. It is fun and resolves some of the mysteries of Countess Annie with a return to the mountain. Had some credibility issues with the sisters not remembering where it was. It is fun to watch these vigilantes in action …. but they are nowhere near as organized or violent in their justice as the early stories were.
Love this story line!
Entire “sisterhood” series is great!
The “sisterhood” series by this author are great reading.
I love this whole series. Wouldn’t miss any of them.
Always love the sisters
