Whether She Wants To or Not! -1924, Pasadena, California- Daisy Gumm Majesty never expected her spiritualist talents to land her on stage-especially not in The Mikado at her church, playing the delightfully villainous Katisha. But thanks to some well-placed arm-twisting from Pasadena's elite (and a certain persistent detective), Daisy finds herself swept up in rehearsals, costume fittings, and an overabundance of operatic drama. But the drama isn't confined to the stage. The theater crowd has its fair share of secrets, and when the director's wife takes mysteriously ill, a jittery actress swears someone is trying to kill her, and a cast member's husband turns up dead, Daisy realizes she's in for more than missed cues and flubbed lines. With Detective Sam Rotondo juggling an investigation and trying to keep Daisy out of trouble (a truly hopeless endeavor), Daisy must untangle the mystery before opening<
