fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

The first book that I’ve read/finished by Mary Kay Andrews (writing as Kathy Hogan Trocheck). It wasn’t bad. I enjoyed Callahan’s spirit and the feistiness of her House Mouse ladies. The mystery was fairly decent and was a different sort of mystery from others that I’ve read recently, so it stood out.
Will be looking for more books by Andrews (actually I have one waiting for me from the library right now! Another Callahan mystery). Recommend these for peeps who enjoy chick lit mixed with Southern fiction and some fairly gruesome murders (gruesome for chick lit, that is).

This series just keeps getting better. Edna is having heart problems. Callahan took on a case were her client believes her ex husband is hiding all of his assets. Callahan's client is right of course.

Definitely a little dated. And has...ideas about protesting that are not what I agree with. But I am not the kind of person who thinks Property is more important than People....so maybe it's just me.
