I am finding this series to feel more and more racist and I just struggle with that. I also don’t love the main characters which makes the whole thing less enjoyable.

A fun mystery series with a dose of Southern Charm. At the center of the action is the House Mouse maid service. Great summer vacation reads.

I love the Callahan Garrity Series and this was my last one to complete. Each one can be a standalone; however, once you read one, you will want to read them all! I do hope Mary Kay (Trocheck), will continue with this series as not only as they funny, witty, they are well written and great mysteries.
Mary does an outstanding job with her research and she knows Atlanta. Having spent most of my career there for years, I always love revising through her books as know all the landmarks.
This one was a page turner and had to finish it on New Year’s Day as spend the day with it as could not go to bed until I found out the culprit.
You will love the characters and Callahan needs to let her mom Edna run the cleaning business as she is too good of a detective and can solve any case!
Not sure I have a favorite out of the series (I think my picks would be Heart Trouble and Irish Eyes), even though all of them were entertaining and glad they are being republished as e-books. Highly recommend if you like southern humor and a good mystery.
Have read all Mary Kay’s books and now going back to read her Truman Kicklighter Mystery Series.

I'm almost done with one of my favorite cozy mystery series! I read them a little out of order, so I have just one more. Not looking forward to the end ...

The best part about reading these now is that they are already all written so I can binge read and not have to wait for the next one to come out!
