Fun, enjoyable audiobook by Mary Kay Andrews. (

it's an interesting experience, reading mysteries set in 1992/ish. This book and the previous one both brush upon the idea of racism, but they do so from a time and place that is alien to me, and I think less concerned with equality than now. likewise, this book's subplot deals with a girl who has bulimia, but seems to assume less familiarity with the topic than I think people have now.

Former Atlanta police officer Callaghan Garrity runs The House Mouse, a professional maid service, and also dabbles in private investigation. A new client has an emergency need for a thorough cleaning; Elliot Littlefield owns Eagle’s Keep, one of Atlanta’s most elegant old mansions and his housekeeper has quit the day before a major party. The team arrives to complete disarray, and discovers a body in an upstairs bedroom. But this isn’t the first time a young woman has met her death at Eagle’s Keep…

This is a fast-paced, well-plotted cozy mystery. I like Callaghan – she’s intelligent, resourceful, strong, and professional. Some of her crew members are a little too eccentric to be believable, but it’s all in good fun. I did figure out the murderer the minute that character was introduced, but that was okay because I still liked watching how Trochek developed the plot.

I listened to this book because I wanted to do some crafts and hear an entertaining story. In the past I have found this author delivers on the entertainment. Her writing is full of humor. I really enjoyed the characters in this story. The tone of the story was smooth so it flowed from one situation to another. I did not agree with all the cuss words in the story or the summary ending of the story. (

Entertaining and Southern as the Callahan mother-daughter team – returns full of mischief and humor as her cleaning crew (turned detective) is on the trail of a stolen Civil War diary. With collectors, radicals, teens, southern belles, shabby developers, and crimes to solve. Did not enjoy this one as much as the others in the series as a light mystery and listened to audio --Huber, the narrator is always good for a laugh. (
