LATE EDITION
Teresa "Toots" Loudenberry has a knack for finding adventure, even when
she's not looking for it. But ever since Sophie convinced her friends to
start holding regular seances, life in Los Angeles is getting a little
too dramatic even for Toots's tastes. When Ida receives a message from
the beyond suggesting that her late husband was murdered, a spooked
Toots decides it's time the Godmothers left LA for her hometown of
Charleston...
Meanwhile, Mavis has been acting suspiciously, mailing packages in bulk
and refusing to divulge what she's up to. She should know by now that
Ida, Toots, and Sophie will never let secrets rest or ignore a friend in
need. And when the Godmothers discover that whoever killed Ida's husband
has plans for Ida too, they'll do what they do best--rally together,
concoct a daring plan, and show the world there is no match for these
four formidable friends...
DEADLINE
If living well is an art, then Toots Loudenberry is a modern-day
Michelangelo. Over the past two years, she and her three best
friends--Sophie, Ida, and Mavis--have shared joys and troubles, forged
new businesses and love interests, and discovered talents they never
knew they possessed. Like Sophie's blossoming psychic gift, for
instance. No sooner has the foursome returned from a trip to Sacramento,
where Sophie provided some much-needed psychic guidance to the First
Lady of California, when 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.
Toots knows just how strong Abby's feelings for Chris run, and the
Godmothers are immediately on the case. With the help of friends in
high--and low--places, Toots, Sophie, Ida, and Mavis will navigate
Hollywood's glittering inner circles and seedy underbelly to discover
the truth. And along the way, they'll uncover unexpected secrets that
not even one of Sophie's seances could have predicted...
