About this ebook

From award-winning, bestselling author Alice Duncan comes the second Daisy Gumm Majesty Cozy Mystery Boxset filled to the brim with "intriguing plots with ample twists. A perfect 10, by gum!" ~RT Book Reviews

It's the 1920s and Daisy Gumm Majesty is doing her part to support her family as a spiritualist to people with more money than sense... and she's training her dachshund, Spike, too.

HUNGRY SPIRITS: Tapped to teach a cooking class for immigrant German ladies, Daisy steps up and forces herself to confront her own prejudices about those she blames for her veteran-husband's war illness. But when a student disappears and Daisy discovers that the help needed has nothing to do with cooking—there's an anarchist's scheme about to boil over.

GENTEEL SPIRITS: The movie biz is coming to Pasadena and Daisy and Spike are up to their ears in trouble. A spoiled actress wants Daisy as her very own spiritualist, someone is sending poison-pen letters to the Leading Man, and Spike is butting heads with Detective Sam Rotondo, assigned to the movie-set as security.

ANCIENT SPIRITS: When Mrs. Pinkerton's daughter is arrested, Daisy picks up her Ouija board for the first time since her husband's death, and is rewarded with information that sends her to Cairo, Egypt where she lands in the middle of a smuggling ring.

Ratings and reviews

Whilst the books are really nice cozy mysteries, the series doesn't shy away from tackling the evils of war and the impact on soldiers and they families - nor does it shy away from people's stupidity when they show themselves to be prejudice about race or sexuality. But those side topics are just part of the book, not its main theme of the solving of mysteries. And that's thoroughly enjoyable! You'll also read about families, spirits, seances, murders, mystery, crime, wonderful food, life in 1920s America, American political history and more. And all these topics fall smoothly and tidily into the story. Read all the Daisy Gumm books - they have entertained me and I am looking forward to next one to be published! Oh, and did I mention American biscuits? As a UK reader I wondered why Americans would put cookies in gravy - seems we don't speak the same language! I have gained so much insight into the "other side of the pond" from Daisy - and there's more to come I hope.

Book amazing.
