Book Synopsis

Join Daisy Gumm Majesty for another rollicking adventure in this intriguing historical cozy mystery series, where séances are staged, dachshunds are irresistible, and crime finds its way into even the most respectable homes.

-1921, Pasadena, California-

As Pasadena's most sought-after spiritualist-medium (for clients with more money than sense), Daisy Gumm Majesty has handled her fair share of unusual requests. But when the kindhearted-and fabulously wealthy-Mrs. Bissel demands an exorcism for her basement, even Daisy has her doubts. That is, until Mrs. Bissel offers one of her prized dachshund puppies as payment.

Hoping the so-called ghost is not a skunk, Daisy investigates-only to uncover something far more sinister than eerie noises in the night. Now she's knee-deep in a mystery that involves more than just restless spirits. With her detective nemesis, Sam Rotondo, ever eager to expose her as a fraud, and a household of terrified servants watching her every move, Daisy will need all her wits (and a generous dose of creative storytelling) to get to the bottom of this so-called haunting.

Alice Duncan spent years avoiding what she knew she should be doing-writing-by professionally folk dancing instead. Eventually, her muse won the battle, and she's been crafting engaging historical cozy mysteries ever since. Now a proud resident of Roswell, New Mexico, Alice enjoys the lack of smog and crowds while spoiling her beloved herd of wild dachshunds. Visit her at www.aliceduncan.net.

Don't miss a moment of the action with Daisy and her cadre of friends as they solve mysteries in 1920s Pasadena! Each story stands alone but is best enjoyed in order.
