A Cooking Class, a Vanishing Student, and a Side of Anarchist Plotting-Just Another Day for Daisy Gumm Majesty -1921, Pasadena, California- Daisy Gumm Majesty, Pasadena's most charming (and entirely fake) spiritualist-medium, has pulled off plenty of elaborate deceptions-but convincing anyone that she can teach a cooking class might be her biggest con yet. When a well-meaning Salvation Army captain asks Daisy to teach German immigrant women the fine art of American cookery, Daisy, who is barely on speaking terms with her own kitchen, is ready to laugh him right out the door. But before she can refuse, her sense of duty (and mild curiosity) gets the better of her. Armed with a cookbook, an apron, and a healthy dose of skepticism, Daisy steps into the classroom-only for one of her students to mysteriously vanish. Turns out, the lesson this woman needs most has nothing to do with pie crusts and everything to do with dodging an anarchist scheme simmering beneath Pasadena's polished surface. With Detective Sam Rotondo forever on her case and a whole batch of new trouble bubbling up, Daisy finds herself up to her elbows in more than just flour. And this time, there's no faking her way out of the mess. 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. Don't miss a moment of the action with Daisy and her cadre of friends as they solve mysteries in 1920s Pasadena! Each story stands alone but is best enjoyed in order. 1. Strong Spirits 2.
