About this title

From Booklist:

With her husband, Billy, an invalid as a result of mustard gas during the First World War, Daisy Gumm Majesty is doing her part to support her family. Daisy and Billy live with her parents and her aunt in a little bungalow in Pasadena, and although her parents approve of her unusual work, her husband is not too happy. But Daisy, a medium to the rich and famous, perseveres. Holding seances and interpreting tarot cards, she has built up quite a reputation. One client, in particular, has a great need for her services. Mrs. Kincaid relies on Daisy's advice on a regular basis. When the wealthy Kincaids become involved in bank fraud, Daisy is asked to keep her eyes and ears open by Detective Sam Rotondo. Although Sam and Daisy bristle in each other's company, she does agree to help him out. Duncan's tale teems with period detail, but it is her characters who make it so enjoyable, especially effervescent Daisy. Maria Hatton
