The Divine Circle of Ladies Tipping the Scales

The ladies of the Circle are rushing to the rescue again, crusading for the Goddess of Justice in their own preternatural way-even if that means tipping Her scales a bit. It all begins at Lammas, the August Festival of Bread, when Cass Shipton is called to jury duty in Plymouth County-the tragic case of a home invasion, the brutal deaths of a mother and daughter. Although she considers it her Libran calling to weigh evidence in the most impartial way, Cass the clairvoyant soon finds herself knowing too much for comfort about the crime and the criminals. Meantime, Heather Devlin, the Circle's intrepid animal activist, pursues a local dog-fighting ring with her own zany brand of off-the-wall "special ops." Fiona helps a light-footed young widow named Ashling lay to rest the ghost of her late husband, an irascible poet. Phillipa cooks up trouble at a favorite local restaurant. And Deidre runs into an old flame. Clearly the ladies have a full agenda on their clever hands. With their usual flair for mischief, mayhem, and a little judicious spell-working, the Circle of Five is off on another wickedly exciting romp.
