It's just one week. That is what Mercy Allcutt keeps telling herself as she packs her bags and heads to Pasadena to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with her parents. Even though Mercy knows that her prim and proper mother, Honoria, vehemently disapproves of Mercy's decision to take a job working as a secretary for PI Ernie Templeton, Mercy is almost positive that she can last seven days with her judgmental mother without somebody getting killed. As it turns out, although Honoria doesn't hold back one jot on her criticism of Mercy, it isn't one of the Allcutts who winds up dead but rather Mrs. Lurlene Winkworth, who, much to Mercy's surprise, is even more of a bitter, vituperative battle-ax than Mercy's mother. The latest sprightly addition to Duncan's Mercy Allcutt series (Fallen Angels, 2011; Angels of Mercy, 2012) is a delightful concoction composed of equal measures of charmingly quirky characters, fascinating 1920s period details, and just the right dash of dry wit.
