Publisher Description
Grandmother of Monty Mountjoy Cruelly Murdered in Thanksgiving Angels, a Cozy Historical Mystery from Alice Duncan
--1926, Los Angeles, CA--
Former Boston Brahmin, Mercy Allcutt, moved from Boston to Los Angeles specifically to get away from her overbearing mother and father. Therefore, she’s upset when her boss, P.I. Ernie Templeton, gives her the entire Thanksgiving week of 1926 off so that she can spend the holiday with her parents in their new winter home in Pasadena, California.
Her week of vile endurance is made even more miserable when a woman is flung to her death over the second-story staircase railing. Her mother, who deplores the fact that her daughter actually got a job, insists Mercy call on Ernie to help the Pasadena Police Department solve the case.
In the end, it is Mercy who must solve the crime and risk becoming a statistic herself.
Publisher Note: Readers who enjoy cozy mysteries in historical settings are sure to appreciate the Mercy Allcutt series set in 1920s Los Angeles, California. No vulgarity or explicit sex for those who appreciate a clean and wholesome read.

Crossover fun!
If you are a fan of either this series or the Daisy Majesty series you will absolutely love this book! A crossover between the two done brilliantly by the author Alice Duncan.
Mercy is “invited” to Thanksgiving at her parent’s winter home in Pasadena. Upon arrival she is surprised to hear that her mother the very proper Boston socialite is going to be hosting a seance led by non other than Daisy Majesty. After a couple of nights where we meet or catch up with some of the frequent characters that appear in Daisy’s series, the night of the seance arrives and the fun begins. A murder occurs and not only does Sam Rotundo get called but Mercy’s mother insists she have Ernie come and investigate as well. Shenanigans ensue.
A wonderfully written mystery that has plenty of twists and turns. All the delightful characters we’ve met in both of these series who work very well together. And in the end a surprisingly happy holiday. I’m a huge fan of both these series and this book was a phenomenal combination of the two.
I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily review this book. This is my honest review.
