Publisher Description
Ghost Seeks Help from Fake Spiritualist in Spirits Revived, a Historical Cozy Mystery by Alice Duncan
--Pasadena, California, 1926--
While conducting a séance for a client with more money than sense, Daisy Gumm Majesty is surprised when a seemingly real spirit makes contact. Eddie Hastings, an attorney in life, wants Daisy to prove his death was not a suicide, but murder.
Curious, and a little afraid, she can't reveal how she learned of Eddie’s murder to anyone, least of all to her deceased husband's best friend, the mildly detestable Detective Sam Rotondo. Daisy launches her own investigation on the sly only to find a hornet's nest awaits.
When Sam learns of Daisy's involvement, he's more than a little annoyed. But in the end, Daisy gets her man.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Duncan's amiable seventh Daisy Gumm Majesty cozy (after 2012's Ancient Spirits), her heroine, a church choir member and medium living in 1923 Pasadena, Calif., is surprised when a s ance she's leading attracts a real ghost. Daisy, whose husband, Billy, killed himself after returning from WWI, uses spiritualism to support her mother, father, and Aunt Viola, despite knowing she has no real psychic abilities. Thus, she's surprised when deceased attorney Eddie Hastings appears to proclaim that his death was not suicide, and that he was murdered. Daisy searches for a way to share this info with her best friend, police detective and skeptic Sam Rotondo, without revealing its source. In the meantime, while hobnobbing with her upper-crust clients, she investigates Eddie's claim on her own. With charm, wit, and plenty of smarts, Daisy is a winning protagonist and, backed up by equally delightful supporting characters, should be in for a long and popular run.

Lol funny read!
While Daisy’s clients pay well to have her ply her spiritualist trade she herself isn’t what you would call a true believer. Except to her surprise and to her family and friends disbelief one night during a seance an honest to goodness ghost appears and takes control of her to send a message about his murder. While she is shaken to the core by the event she still wants to help the grieving mother find out what really happened to her son. So she sets out asking questions and happens upon some unsettling discoveries. After the police open a new investigation thanks to her tips to Sam Daisy is supposed to be out of it and yet... she still finds herself getting into trouble even when she’s trying not to.
A delightful story with fun surprises for everyone including our intrepid Daisy. It’s good to see a more cheerful Daisy again after tragedy in previous stories. I enjoy the developing relationship with Sam. Looking forward to that blooming. They are a riot together and individually. These books are a lighthearted way to while away a couple hours. If you enjoy cozies and or historical mysteries you’ll enjoy Daisy Gumm Majesty and her adventures.
