Rock Bottom

By Fern Michaels

Reviewed by Connie Bennett, Vinton Public Library Clerk

This book has a New Release Alert and is a brand-new addition to our collection. If you are a fan of Fern Michaels, or if you follow the Sisterhood Series, you must read this one! It is the 35th book in the Sisterhood Novels. I’m a newcomer to this author’s work, and I wanted to get acquainted with her. A little confusing at first, I soon caught on to the short list of ‘sisters’ in this particular story. I’m sure I would have understood the relationships, everyday professions and previous stories that were referenced better, had I not waited until the 35th novel before jumping in!

Izzy Flanders and her friend, Yoko Akia have contracted to design and source materials for a new indoor/outdoor café in a small market village. When Izzy contacts an old friend’s company to obtain foundation material, she senses a problem. Zoe is tense and seems stressed. When the women get together, it becomes clear that Zoe suspects that her bosses are selling inferior materials, and that they are responsible for a series of collapses of buildings and bridges all around the world.

Enter the Sisterhood! This group has helped numerous people by righting the wrongs that are being committed world-wide and seeing that justice is served. Be sure to read the prologue, which explains the premise and the origin of the Sisterhood. I couldn’t have enjoyed this book more and will definitely be reading more of this series.
