| The women of The Sisterhood, better known as The Vigilantes to the public, have some despicable people to deal with this time. Baron Bell and his cohort, Adel Newsom, have been getting surrogates to have babies for couples who pay them well. Then they turn around and take them back, selling them to others. A fluke snowstorm makes their job even harder as they try to right the wrongs that have been done.
Fern Michaels continues this series with another story that's fun, complicated, and sometimes downright funny. It may be a bit difficult for people who haven't read the series to catch up to the action. But, once the reader gets involved we're hooked on the action and the characters. Familiar institutions like the White House, the FBI and a major newspaper are all involved. They all seem much more humane when friends of the women are in high places. Employees and fiancés of the women are called into action too because the women are wanted by the law for past deeds. The men often take center stage with their antics. Dialogue and scenarios involving them are often hilarious as they do their jobs. When it involves taking care of a roomful of babies under a year old it's priceless. This is a good read, one of those stories we wish would happen in real life more often. It would be handy to have powerful people who use their skills and their friends in high places to right wrongs that have done to common folks. Ms. Michaels has another winner in this book. While it might be better if the reader has read other books in the series to fill in the details of how the women got to where they are, it's still a great story.
