    About this ebook

    #1 New York Times-Bestselling Author: A novel of Hollywood intrigue starring an “engaging version of the Golden Girls” (Booklist).

    No sooner have Toots Loudenberry and her three best friends--Sophie, Ida, and Mavis--returned from Sacramento, where Sophie provided some much-needed psychic advice to the First Lady of California, than another situation demands their attention. . .

    Laura Leigh, a Hollywood starlet whose main talent seems to be landing in trouble, is missing. Toots' daughter, Abby, has both a personal and professional stake in the story. Not only is she editor-in-chief at gossip magazine The Informer, but entertainment attorney Chris Clay, Abby's would-be beau, was the last person seen with Laura. And now he's missing, too.

    With the help of friends in high--and low--places, the Godmothers will navigate Hollywood's glittering inner circles and seedy underbelly to discover the truth. Along the way, they'll uncover unexpected secrets that not even one of Sophie's séances could have predicted. . .

    Fern Michaels

    New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels has a passion for romance, often with a dash of suspense and drama. It stems from her other joys in life—her family, animals, and historic home. She is usually found in South Carolina, where she is either tapping out stories on her computer, rescuing or supporting animal organizations, or dabbling in some kind of historical restoration.

      Another great series by Fern Michaels. The Godmothers are at it agai, doing what close friends, mothers,stepmothers and of course Godmothers do best- worrying, aiding,and being there for each other no matter what. Laughs and tears and a little bawdy humor make this book a must read.

      Deadline by Fern MichaelsThe women of the sisterhood are summoned to CA in hopes to treat the first lady and rid her of the nightmares she's having about the death of her uncle, JFK.After arriving via private jet, really loved the airplane terminology about how to land, they are brought to the governor's mansion to perform the seance.Toot's daughter Abbey is not the editor of The Informer and she's hot on the trail of a missing actress.Her stepson Chris clay was the last to see the actress.Was happy to learn of what happened to Chris. I was fearing the worse: blood, murder, etc.With others having health problems their friends come to the rescue, better than family.
