Fern Michaels has written a series that I have thoroughly enjoyed called the sisterhood or also the revenge of the sisterhood.

They are about a group of women who have joined forces to bring their own justice where the system has failed them.  You will meet Myra Rutledge, a wealthy woman who finances their adventures.  Myra has also lost her only daughter to a drunken driver; Nikki Quinn, a lawyer and adopted daughter of Myra; Kathryn Lucas, a trucker; Alexis Thorne, a former securities broker; Julia Webster, a plastic surgeon; Yoko Akia, a flower-shop owner; and Isabele Flanders, an architect.  Each of these women have been failed by the justice system but they intend to correct this.

Join these women in their adventures as each woman has her day, so to speak.

The action is fast faced and I found it very hard to put these books down. 

You might want to start with the first book, “Weekend warriors”.  For our commuting friends the library also has the entire series on CD audio-books.
