Story
1920s, Pasadena, California: People are dropping dead after communion services at Daisy's church; Detective Sam Rotondo has finally professed his love for Daisy; and Daisy sees swaying trees in her crystal ball, a prop in which she doesn't place any faith. But when the crystal ball's image leads Daisy to her client's missing butler, and then a bunch of bootleggers, Daisy unknowingly bumps into the man responsible for the parishioners' deaths. She doesn't recognize him, but he recognizes her and that lands Daisy at the top of his to-be-murdered list.

It's the "Roaring '20s," but you wouldn't know the era was roaring if you lived in southeastern New Mexico. Except for the occasional "flicker" at the local motion-picture palace, it might as well be 1883 as 1923. When young Annabelle Blue's eccentric aunt Minnie begins complaining about ghosts in her home, poor Annabelle is sent out to Minnie's isolated ranch house to aunt-sit. She's not happy about it.

Publisher's Summary
After the death of her beloved husband Billy, Daisy Majesty falls into a deep depression. Everyone, from her family to her late husband's best friend, Sam Rotondo, worry about her. She's too depressed to eat and only mopes around the house.
July passes into August, and Daisy continues to mourn and not eat or work at her trade as a spiritualist. Although she's in a very unsteady mood, she finally agrees to use the Ouija board for her long-time best customer, Mrs. Pinkerton. During this session, Daisy has her spirit control, Rolly, dispense some harsh truths, something she's never done before. Daisy is appalled, but everyone else is proud of her. Mrs. Pinkerton's son (and Daisy's best pal) Harold Kincaid even offers to take Daisy to Egypt. Daisy doesn't want to go, but her family insists, so she agrees.
Once in Egypt, Daisy and Harold are not only plagued by the heat, but strange things happen to them. Sam Rotondo, who promised Billy he'd watch out for Daisy, hies himself to the Middle East. There, during one of a series of untoward events, Sam gets himself kidnapped in Daisy's stead. Then something even more remarkable happens after Daisy, Harold and several Turkish fellows manage to rescue him.
Neither Daisy nor Sam is quite sure what to make of their relationship once they return to staid and safe Pasadena, California.
Ancient Spirits not only takes the listener on an adventure with Daisy, Harold and Sam, but warms the heart and soul.

Loved this but...
Loved the story but it’s not possible to telegraph someone without knowing where in the world they are geographically located so several plot points don’t really resonate. Needed a bit more finesse over this fact but I liked where the story ended.

Ancient Spirits
This book was very interesting, humorous and entertaining. The historical facts of the 1920s were interesting. Harold & Sam added extra humor to the storyline. I enjoyed the narrator and all the different voices and expressions she had to relay. It was easy to understand the narrator and sometimes her manner of reading added to the story. This wasn't a murder mystery nor paranormal as I had expected but that just made this an even more interesting audiobook. I definitely will be checking into more books from this author, both ebooks and audiobooks.
