Description
It’s a warm August morning in 1926 Los Angeles, California. Mercedes Louise Allcutt (Mercy to her friends) is thrilled to be going to her job as secretary to private investigator Ernie Templeton – until she opens the door and discovers her mother on the doorstep. Known to her friends as Honoria and her daughters as The Wrath of God, Mrs. Allcutt is the very last person earth whom Mercy wants to see, barring a couple of coldblooded murderers she’s met in the past few weeks.
But that’s only the beginning of Mercy’s latest adventure. Add a couple of phony spiritualists, a Hollywoodland gossip columnist who gets bumped off during a seance, a semi-famous starlet, and several other colorful characters, and Mercy Manages to find herself in very deep waters indeed.
DEBRA JEAKINS –
What is worse than having a overbearing,over dominating mother? Having an overbearing/over dominating mother show up at the door of your home unannounced and telling you she has left her husband! That is Mercy Allcutt’s first problem in her second book titled ANGELS FLIGHT by Alice Duncan.
In Mercy’s latest book,Mercy not only has to deal with murders, yes murders plural, but worse of all her overbearing mother shows up , luggage in hand and turns Mercey and her sisters life upside down.
If you like laugh out loud historical murder mysteries then this series is perfect for you. With great plot line and a narration that is just short of perfection you cant loose
Faith –
Alice Duncan has once again given us a wonderful book. The humor and mystery and characters are as delightful as in the first book of this series. Mercy and Ernie continue their tenuous relationship which is so amusing to follow along.
Darlene Allen gives another superb reading. She brings the characters and the story alive with her voices and expression.
I requested this audio book from Audiobooks Unleashed and have voluntarily left this review.
