Mercy Allcutt Mysteries Box Set: Books 4-6
(2025)(A book in the Mercy Allcutt series)
An omnibus of novels by Alice Duncan
Three Witty, Heartwarming Mysteries Set in 1920s California—Where a Former Boston Socialite Can't Resist a Good Murder.
Join Mercy Allcutt, Boston-bred socialite turned amateur sleuth, as she stumbles into one crime after another in sun-soaked Southern California. With wit, curiosity, and her reluctant partner—private investigator Ernie Templeton—Mercy proves a lady can outsmart a killer.
Angels of Mercy (Book 4)
Mercy opens her Bunker Hill home to working women in need, but when a Hollywood mogul is murdered and her housekeeper's son is accused, she dives headfirst into a case that tests her courage—and her patience with Ernie's skepticism.
Thanksgiving Angels (Book 5)
A dreaded holiday visit to her overbearing parents turns deadly when an elderly guest is pushed to her death. Between family tension, Pasadena high society, and a killer on the loose, Mercy must solve the case before she becomes the next victim.
Angels Adrift (Book 6)
When Mercy witnesses a murder behind her office—but the body disappears—she risks her reputation and her life to prove what she saw. Soon she and her friend Lulu are neck-deep in a bootlegging racket that could leave them both sleeping with the fishes.
Publisher Note: Readers who enjoy cozy mysteries in historical settings are sure to appreciate the Mercy Allcutt series set in 1920s Los Angeles, California. No vulgarity or explicit sex for those who appreciate a clean and wholesome read.
"Mercy is a pip. I laughed all through this book and stayed up until 4:00 in the morning to finish it. I was still laughing when I turned out the light. Not a bad way to end one day and start another." ~Patricia Browning
"This gem reminded me of the old Dick Tracy comic strips (that I avidly read as a child), as well as of the black and white PI movies we all recall with glee. The story takes place in 1926, Los Angeles. I found myself immersed in the first few pages. Author Alice Duncan either did a lot of research or grew up on stories of the era. Each character has a unique personality. The characters all dress the parts, all the way down to the bobbed hairstyle, and speak slang. Don't worry; you won't be lost. This book is headed directly to my 'KEEPER' shelf. Highly recommended!" ~Detra Fitch (Huntress Reviews)
"I read Lost Among the Angels in one sitting and found it wonderful and so enjoyable. It is a fast-paced, exciting story and Mercy Allcutt is a terrific sleuth. I can't wait to spend more time with Mercy!" ~Rob Walker
