Three Witty, Heartwarming Mysteries Set in 1920s California-Where a Former Boston Socialite Can't Resist a Good Murder. Join Mercy Allcutt, Boston-bred socialite turned amateur sleuth, as she stumbles into one crime after another in sun-soaked Southern California. With wit, curiosity, and her reluctant partner-private investigator Ernie Templeton-Mercy proves a lady can outsmart a killer. Angels of Mercy (Book 4) Mercy opens her Bunker Hill home to working women in need, but when a Hollywood mogul is murdered and her housekeeper's son is accused, she dives headfirst into a case that tests her courage-and her patience with Ernie's skepticism. Thanksgiving Angels (Book 5) A dreaded holiday visit to her overbearing parents turns deadly when an elderly guest is pushed to her death. Between family tension, Pasadena high society, and a killer on the loose, Mercy must solve the case before she becomes the next victim. Angels Adrift (Book 6) When Mercy witnesses a murder behind her office-but the body disappears-she risks her reputation and her life to prove what she saw. Soon she and her friend Lulu are neck-deep in a bootlegging racket that could leave them both sleeping with the fishes.

I was still laughing when I turned out the light. Not a bad way to end one day and start another." ~Patricia Browning "This gem reminded me of the old Dick Tracy comic strips (that I avidly read as a child), as well as of the black and white PI movies we all recall with glee. The story takes place in 1926, Los Angeles. I found myself immersed in the first few pages. Author Alice Duncan either did a lot of research or grew up on stories of the era. Each character has a unique personality. The characters all dress the parts, all the way down to the bobbed hairstyle, and speak slang. Don't worry; you won't be lost. This book is headed directly to my 'KEEPER' shelf. Highly recommended!" ~ Detra Fitch (Huntress Reviews) "I read Lost Among the Angels in one sitting and found it wonderful and so enjoyable. It is a fast-paced, exciting story and Mercy Allcutt is a terrific sleuth. I can't wait to spend more time with Mercy!" ~ Rob Walker The Mercy Allcutt Mystery Series Lost Among the Angels Angels Flight Fallen Angels Angels of Mercy Thanksgiving Angels Angels Adrift Christmas Angels Hollywood Angels Celluloid Angels Dancing Angels
