I love this series!! The cleaning lady sleuths are great. Great character, great family dynamics, and good plots that keep you guessing till the end. Highly recommend.
Cleaning lady cum sleuth Callahan Garrity cleans up in this witty cozy mystery series.

A Southern house-cleaning service that gets into situations of adventure featuring cleaning whiz Callahan Garrity,
ex-cop, sometimes P.I., is a romp that will leave you laughing, possibly crying. But, be forewarned, this does start out a
little slow, but like she always does, Kathy Hogan Trocheck will explain, in the end, why she put us through the boring
stuff in the beginning. 'Cause it just might help Callahan save her life.
The storyline revolves around the inhabitants of the down and out area of Atlanta near where Callaghan and her mother live.
The author depicts the struggle and horror of the lives of these people in a poignant sub-plot. The major plot involves
a twenty year old murder and its modern-day consequences. This is something that of course has been done before but
this author carries it off with her usual high skill and humour.
This series may be considered as cozies, but they have a distinct edge. The characters are fun, but also well developed,
and the plots are decent. The characters and their personalities are complex. The books improve as they go along.
Kathy Hogan Trocheck writes her other books as Mary Kay Andrews.
