Shaken Spirits — Alice Duncan

Daisy Gumm Majesty is in for a bumpy ride -- literally -- in this lively 1925 Pasadena mystery filled with danger, humor, and just a dash of romance.

The New Year's Day Rose Parade is supposed to be a time for celebration, but Daisy's day takes a shocking turn when a speeding motorcar barrels into her, leaving her bruised, battered, and with a dislocated shoulder. At first, she chalks it up to bad luck -- until it's clear someone is trying to finish the job.

As her detective fiancé, Sam Rotondo, investigates, Daisy finds herself dodging more than just pain and indignation. Between well-meaning neighbors, an outpouring of sympathy (and baked goods), and her own stubborn refusal to stay in bed, Daisy must figure out who wants her dead before her next parade appearance is in a funeral procession.

If only catching criminals were as easy as catching spirits…

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.
