Synopsis

These Are Not Your Fairy Godmothers

When Toots Loudenberry relocated to Los Angeles from South Carolina to be near her daughter, Abby, she expected to bump into the occasional celebrity. She just never expected them to be dead. Meanwhile, Toots, Sophie, and Mavis are concerned that the prestigious Dr. Sameer's budding romance with Ida may have something to do with his ailing bank balance. And Abby's attempted makeover of the celebrity magazine The Informer into the most talked-about tabloid in town could end more than just her career.


But the Godmothers wouldn't be the Godmothers if they weren't pulling a few behind-the-scenes strings, and Abby's hopes of changing the fortunes of The Informer are still alive. Yet it'll take an assist from a source no one could have predicted, let alone see, to secure a story that will shake Tinseltown to its very core. . .

About this title

Reviews

The tedious sequel to The Scoop sends Charleston, S.C., grande dame Toots Loudenberry to L.A. to help her daughter, Abby, who is running a struggling tabloid. Toots brings along her best friends--Ida, Sophie, and Mavis--and though the ladies envision some wild times, what they find instead is a haunted Malibu beach house, possible career ruin for Abby, and a dodgy doctor boyfriend for Ida. While there is plenty going on, none of the shenanigans forms what could be called a plot, and too many of the developments are unbelievably outlandish. Meanwhile, none of the characters is especially menaced by her alleged problems, which is almost fine, because Michaels doesn't follow through on the lightweight villainy.

When Toots Loudenberry leaves her home in Charleston, South Carolina, for L.A., the first thing she does, being wealthy in her own right, is to buy a mansion—Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz’s disturbingly haunted, over-the-top Malibu beach house, to be precise. The real reason for the move is to be near her daughter, Abby, because changes to her National Enquirer-like tabloid, The Informer, don’t bode well for her future. There’s lots of fun, intrigue, and excitement as Toots, Ida, Sophie, and Mavis take on Tinseltown. This is the second book in Michaels’ Godmothers series (The Scoop, 2009), and those who long for the old glitz-and-glamour romances will like this shamelessly name-dropping Hollywood tale. --Shelley Mosley
