Product Description
Product Description
Ex-Atlanta cop-turned-house-cleaning entrepreneur Callahan Garrity doesn't know what she is getting for Christmas, but she never expects the gift that arrives at her door: her estranged, ne'er-do-well brother, Brian, and his adorable three-year-old daughter, Maura. A rebel who's been in and out of trouble most of his life, Brian's deep in it now since he illegally abducted Maura from under the nose of his shrewish former wife. When the beautiful child's mother is found murdered, the police come looking for Brian. And now, to save her brother and her holiday, Callahan -- along with her irascible mom, Edna, and a gaggle of House Mouse employees -- must uncover the truth and a killer, even if it means digging around the roots of her own family tree and exposing the rot underneath.

Format:Hardcover
Callahan must solve the murder of her brother's round-heeled ex-wife before the police arrest him and ruin her mother's Christmas. Although the actual culprit is fairly easy to spot it's great fun to watch Callahan work her way out of a tough situation; her brother is no angel and her mother is not quite the strong woman she used to be.
The zany friends and employees are back, and if they appear all too briefly, they are as amusing as ever.
Format:Hardcover
Trocheck delivers again. Having grown up in Atlanta only two miles from Funtown, I felt this familiar, old setting come alive again. Anyone who loves good, clean humor plus mystery plus lots of local flavor will love Trocheck. Sister and Baby are priceless!
Format:Hardcover
This is the best Trocheck book yet - and all of them are great!
If you are looking for an amusing, yet stimulating mystery - this is the series for you. Get them all and have a wonderful time with Callahan and her House Mouse cleaning crew.
