Genteel Spirits is the fifth in the Daisy Gumm Majesty series by Alice Duncan. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle US. I've read and quite enjoyed all of the titles in this series, and although I'm not normally a huge cozy enthusiast, I've started thinking of this series as one of my favorites. As I've mentioned before talking about the series, I am a bit biased since it is set in Pasadena, California, and I lived there for many years. In any case, here's the info for Genteel...

Spoiler:

The movie biz has come to Pasadena and Daisy Gumm Majesty is up to her ears in trouble. Spike is in obedience training, a spoiled actress wants Daisy as her very own spiritualist and someone is sending poison-pen letters to the Leading Man.

Worse, the motion picture folks claim that Germans are out to steal their new invention being used on the set.

Butting heads with Detective Sam Rotondo, assigned to the movie-set as security, Daisy is on the case with Spike in tow. Now, if she can just find a way to keep everyone's secrets a secret without letting the Germans get away with grand theft.

It's probably also worth noting that the ninth (approximately) in the series, Unsettled Spirits, is still on sale for $0.99 (info here), and although the box set of the first three is no longer on sale, it's still only $7.49, or $2.50 per book, which is not too bad if you missed the sale.
