BOOK REVIEW- Rock Bottom (Sisterhood #35) by Fern Michaels

   

General Fiction (Adult) 

 The Sisterhood: a group of women from all walks of life bound by friendship and years of adventure. Armed with vast resources, top-notch expertise, and a loyal network of allies around the globe, the Sisterhood will not rest until every wrong is made right.


Isabelle “Izzy” Flanders and Yoko Akia are beginning a new project—an indoor/outdoor café that will be the cornerstone of a market village. Izzy knows just where to get the project off the ground: her old college classmate, Zoe Danfield, now vice president of a huge construction corporation. But the Zoe that Izzy reencounters doesn’t seem like her old, confident friend. This Zoe is tense and stressed, and Izzy eventually learns why.

Buildings and bridges have been collapsing all over the world, causing hundreds of deaths, and Zoe suspects her firm’s inferior foundation materials are the cause. When she asks questions, she gets told to keep her nose out of what doesn’t concern her. Zoe knows someone has to blow the whistle and reveal the truth. Who better than the Sisterhood? But this adversary has money, power, and resources to match the Sisterhood’s—and no intention of giving up without a fight . . .

A good foundation is laid making it like a revisit to old friends or a way for new readers to clue in. Whatever it is that you need. There will be quite a few people in the story to get to know for new readers.

Something that was something that slowed the story down for me was the repetition when it came to Zoe was being introduced to a couple of the group at a time.  Each time what her problem was gone over.  Repeated until they finally were all together in the War Room.  Not everyone was available but enough were. 

Things do pick up as we get an inside look at two people who were behind all the evil.  Not to worry though we also get to know several people who are innocent bystanders and they do come out smelling like a rose.  I liked that. And Zoe is definitely one of the innocent bystanders. She was an interesting, unique person.  The Sisterhood really gets things moving when they get involved.  It's a good thing they have a large team because they have a lot of plates spinning in the air.  But it was fascinating seeing them pull it all together.  And the punishment that the team pulls off, benefits many other people when it came to people getting their spoils.   But the punishment the two get personally will definitely NOT benefit THEN one little bit. 

Just a bit of fun. I had to look up what a pork-pie hat was though because I had no clue as an American what that was.  and this is it:
