Hokus Pokus (Sisterhood Series #9)

by Fern Michaels Narrated by Laural Merlington

Overview

There is no match for the Sisterhood - the seven friends who have taken vigilante justice to a new level - not even the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Although the women foiled former FBI director Mitch Riley's plot to frame their friends Judge Nellie Easter and lawyer Lizzie Fox, now they must remain in exile or risk capture. They can't complain about their opulent digs on a remote, luxurious mountaintop, but the ladies desperately miss home.

Their wish to return might come true sooner than they expect when they receive a panicked call from Supreme Court Chief Justice Pearl Barnes, who faces blackmail for her own illegal brand of justice. Now the women must not only sneak back into the United States, but also remain undetected as they investigate. But how do you make seven women disappear? With a nosy reporter on the brink of exposing them, the clock is ticking as the Sisterhood tries to create a little magic - and save the day...

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Over eight previous delectable novels, the seven members of the Sisterhood have exacted multiple pounds of flesh from men who have wronged them. Michaels's latest revenge fantasy finds them living in exile in Barcelona, where they receive word that Pearl Barnes, chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, will expose one of their contacts in the U.S. if they don't help her keep her own deep dark secret. Barnes runs an underground railroad for women and children who have been abused by their husbands and boyfriends, and her former son-in-law, Tyler Hughes, has threatened to expose her illegal activities if she doesn't throw an upcoming vote. The Sisterhood members are soon plotting to get back across the pond-no easy task, since they're wanted ladies-in order to swing into action and deliver revenge that's creatively swift and sweet, Michaels-style.

JULY 2008 - AudioFile

The Sisterhood is a group of women who solve problems that the regular machinations of the law never get around to. But that's fine because in Fern Michaels's entertaining, long-running series the group often acts on both sides of the law. In this one, they come to the rescue of a female Supreme Court justice who has been funding an illegal (but righteous) underground railroad for abused women and their children. Narrator Laural Merlington is a terrific foil for Michaels's high-spirited dames and their assorted males. Her attentive pacing cues the excitement without overreaching, and she gives believable voice to everyone from a down-home guy to a host of women who are real individuals.
