Deadly drinks, vicious gangsters, missing money . . . Reluctant
sleuth Maddie Pastore is back with a bang, in the second Mystic's
Accomplice historical mystery set in 1920s Chicago. "Miley's
storytelling skills do justice to her clever, gutsy, and endearing
protagonist. This is a real treat for readers who love stories set
in the Roaring '20s"- Publishers Weekly Starred Review December,
1924. Young widow Maddie Pastore feels fortunate to be employed by
the well-meaning but fraudulent medium Carlotta Romany.
Investigating Carlotta's clients isn't work she's proud of, but
she's proud of how well she does it. Maddie's talents, however,
draw them unwelcome attention: sharp-eyed Officer O'Rourke from the
Chicago Police. He doesn't believe in spiritualism - but in a city
packed with mobsters, con artists and criminals, he'll take any
help he can get. It's not long before Maddie has a case to bring
him. Why did teetotal banker Herman Quillen die of alcohol
poisoning? And who is the gold-toothed man claiming to be his
brother, and demanding the spirits reveal where Herman hid his
money? All Maddie wants is to uncover the truth - but to her
horror, she's soon mixed up in a tangled web of secrets and
deception that leads to the heart of Chicago's violent gangs . . .
and she'll need all her wits about her if she, and her loved ones,
are going to make it out again alive. Spirits and Smoke, the sequel
to The Mystic's Accomplice, is an ideal pick for readers who enjoy
Jazz Age mysteries with feisty female sleuths, sparkling historical
detail and Prohibition high-jinks.
