<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>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 <i>Exercised Spirits, </i> a Cozy Historical Mystery by Alice Duncan</b> <p/><i>--1925, Pasadena, California--</i> <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/><b>From the Publisher: </b> 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 <b>Carola Dunn, Amanda Quick, Elizabeth Peters, Rhys Bowen, </b> and <b>M. Louisa Locke</b> will not want to miss this series. <p/><b>"If you like the 1920's era, cozy mysteries and hints at paranormal this is absolutely a series for you!"</b><i> Peggy, Avid Fan</i> <p/><b>"I love this series! I love the writing style, and the characters. Ms. Duncan has a fun way of telling a story and having Daisy make funny 'asides' to the reader."</b><i> Nova Todd</i> <p/><b>"I always enjoy Daisy's adventures but the addition of Mr. Prophet is the best! I highly recommend to readers of cozy mysteries."</b><i> Joanna Lindsey, Verified Reviewer</i> <p/><b>You can start anywhere, but you'll want to read all of the Daisy Gumm Majesty Mysteries: </b><br><i>Strong Spirits<br>Fine Spirits<br>High Spirits<br>Hungry Spirits<br>Genteel Spirits<br>Ancient Spirits<br>Dark Spirits<br>Spirits Onstage<br>Unsettled Spirits<br>Spirits United<br>Spirits Unearthed<br>Shaken Spirits<br>Scarlet Spirits<br>Exercised Spirits<br>Wedded Spirits</i> <p/><b>ABOUT ALICE DUNCAN: </b><br>In an effort to avoid what she knew she should be doing, Alice folk-danced professionally until her writing muse finally had its way. Now a resident of Roswell, New Mexico, Alice enjoys saying no smog, no crowds, and yes to loving her herd of wild Dachshunds. <p/>
