Deadline by Fern Michaels (The Godmothers Series Book 4)    288 pages

I keep stumbling into the midstream of series then like the characters so much I have to go back and read the books in order and this one is no exception.   I really loved the 4 friends here, Toots, brassy and southern, fun and funny, cusses like a sailor when it suits her and is one heck of a business woman who gets things done 1, 2, 3.   Sophie is a psychic who reads Tarot cards holds seances and doe automatic writing.   She is so good, Maria Shriver Schwartzenegger contacts her to come to the Governator's manse and hold a seance to contact the spirits to find out why after all these years she is dreaming about her deceased uncle and assassinated president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.   The spooks get spooky and Maria is impressed.  Ida and Mavis are the other two friends and how they all carry on together and call each other out on things they do or so, giving the bird frequently to each other - they are good times and call to mind special friends around pitchers of margueritas.   Good times.   Toot's daughter Abby is in love with a lawyer who loves her too, but, all of a sudden is missing along with a young gorgeous starlet he represents.  Abby is beside herself with anguish.   Was she misreading their relationship?   Sophie better get the planchette back out, it going to be a bumpy night!   Good book.   I recommend this book and the series which I plan to read.   I think middle-schoolers on up would get a kick out these fiesty old broads.
