Description

When a Woman Mysteriously Disappears From an Orange Grove Mansion, Daisy Gumm Majesty, Sam Rotondo, and the Ever Crotchety Lou Prophet Launch A Search in Exercised Spirits, a Cozy Historical Mystery by Alice Duncan


-1925, Pasadena, California-


Already irked about having to participate in an exercise class with some church chums, Daisy is horrified when her beloved Aunt Vi-the greatest cook in Pasadena-goes missing from her place of employment, Mrs. Pinkerton's mansion on Orange Grove Street.


Daisy, Sam and Lou Prophet launch a search, with some help from Mrs. Jackson, a real live Voodoo mambo from New Orleans, who is at present living in Altadena.


In the meantime, food preparation in the Gumm/Majesty/Rotondo households takes a severe downturn. Lou Prophet lends a hand, and the family finds themselves choking down some concoctions they never even knew existed.


It's going to take all the shrewd sleuthing Daisy can muster plus Sam, a peg-legged man, and some clever roping to bring Aunt Vi home.


From the Publisher: The Daisy Gumm Majesty Cozy Mystery Series is a light-hearted mystery in a historical setting. There are no explicit sexual scenes and minimal cursing (Lou Prophet can be a little coarse) and will be enjoyed by readers who appreciate clean and wholesome reads. Fans of Carola Dunn, Amanda Quick, Elizabeth Peters, Rhys Bowen, and M. Louisa Locke will not want to miss this series.
