STRONG SPIRITS: When the wealthy Mrs. Kincaid comes to Daisy to help solve her husband’s disappearance, Detective Sam Rotondo isn’t fooled by Daisy’s choice of “vocation”. Then Daisy reads Sam’s cards… and the tables turn on them both.
FINE SPIRITS: When Daisy is approached by Mrs. Bissel about exorcizing a ghost from her basement, Daisy is tempted to back out until Mrs. B puts up one of her famous dachshund puppies as payment. Hoping Mrs. Bissel’s basement ghost is not a skunk, Daisy begins snooping only to discover the matter is much larger than anyone imagined.

I loved this set of books! I’m going to buy the next book in the series.
I really loved the characters in the book. Made me cry in parts, but made me laugh more. Can’t wait for the next book!
Read one, then two, then three. Had to buy the next set. Now I’m on the hunt for the next novel in the series. Sure wish the author wouldn’t repeat the back story (word for word) so very much, but sure enjoy the glimpses of our past world, the one Americans lived in during and after WWI. And our heroine is just as she should be, and her beau is so nicely not the same as all the other heroic beau’s out there in loveland. Good-0 to the author!
Love Daisy and all her adventures
I loved the character of Daisy Gumm. I bought the whole series. Waiting for the next installment!
