I love Daisy Majesty!
I love this entire series! Great historical mysteries!
Daisy is such a sympathetic character. She almost seems like a real person.
Enjoyed the expressions as in the old detective movies of years ago. A bit repetitive in parts, but a fun read with good characters.
I Love LOVE this Author. ALL of her books are so much fun!!!! I can’t wait for each new book in every series!!!! You can’t go wrong with Alice Duncan!!!!!
Fun read with accurate historical setting. Daisy is a well developed character and the supporting cast is a blend of reality and fun. Enjoy the descriptions and storylines. Nicely woven history and mystery – albeit cozy mystery.
Totally enjoyed all the characters. Nice light suspense. Will definitely read others and highly recommend.
Different but fun
One of my favorite series. I’ve read them all and anxiously awaiting the latest.
Would read more from the author
Delightful character
I have enjoyed the entire Daisy Gumm series.
I love this light, cozy mystery series.
A heartfelt look at the man who delighted us on TV, in movies and in song. Deana Martin’s loving remembrance of growing up with her famous father made me nostalgic for the nights when my family would gather in front of the TV to watch his show. It was a pleasure learning about the man behind the stage persona and what he was like as a person, as well as an entertainer.
Great stories and characters.
Only read some od the first volume. Npt my thing.
