Grave Shift
~ Book 2 of the Darcy & Flora Cozy Mystery Series ~
by Blanche Day Manos and Barbara Burgess
Before the long nightmare ended, Darcy would often wish her mother had not opened that
letter from an unknown woman. But, she did open it and shared it with her daughter,
plunging both Darcy Campbell and Flora Tucker into a tale of an unsolved mystery, a web
of secrets, and the discovery of an unsuspected traitor.
In tracking down clues about the disappearance of a young woman, Darcy and Flora leave
their hometown of Levi, Oklahoma, and drive to Amarillo, Texas, then back again. Following
leads that have long been covered, both women find more than one surprise including some
discoveries about themselves.

Praise for Grave Shift
This is a new-to-me series. It's the second one in the Darcy & Flora Cozy Mystery series. It's
always fun to be introduced to a new series. I didn't feel as if I was missing anything by not
having read the first one. A mother/daughter sleuth team is a bit different and works well with these two.
The plot is interesting with an engaging cast of characters. The narrator, Michelle Babb, has a
wonderful talent for giving a different voice to each character. It makes for an enjoyable listening
experience. I'm looking forward to listening to more of this series.

Grave Shift continues the Darcy/Flora mystery series of page-turning suspense and

The writers create a sense of being there, developing images

experience every mystery buff seeks.
