The first historical mystery in award-winning author Mary Miley' s 1920s Chicago-set series introduces reluctant sleuth Maddie Pastore and takes readers into a dark and dangerous world of mobsters, speakeasies and seances. It' s 1924, and Maddie Pastore has it made. A nice house, a loving husband with a steady job - even if it is connected to Chicago' s violent Torrio-Capone gang - and a baby on the way. But then Tommy is shot dead, and she learns her husband had a secret: he was already married . . . and everything he owned now belongs to his first wife. Penniless and grieving, Maddie is only sure of two things: that she will survive for the sake of her baby, and that she' ll never turn to the mob for help. So when she' s invited to assist a well-meaning but fraudulent medium, she seizes the chance. She' s not proud of her work investigating Madam Carlotta' s clients, but she' s proud of how well she does it. When Maddie unearths potential evidence of a dark crime, however, she faces a terrible dilemma: keep quiet and let a murderer go unpunished, or follow the trail and put herself and her baby in mortal danger . . . With its Prohibition-era setting, lively characters and enthralling historical detail, The Mystic' s Accomplice is an ideal pick for readers who enjoy 1920s-set mysteries.
