You can always count on this brand of Southern humor...

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 loveTrocheck.Sister and Baby are priceless!

The Garrity's are at it again!

I have read all of Ms. Trochecks stories about Callahan Garrity and love each one more and more.The House Mouse crew are great characters; funny, crazy, exuberant.The stories are always interesting, always believable,always with a social issues we should be aware of.Brian, her long lostbrother, comes home with his daughter and leaves Maura with Mom andCallahan.Unfortunately Maura's mom is not around to protest too long, buther mother does.Here is real trouble in a family.I like stories where Ican root for the good guy to win, and does.They make you think andrealize even when you win, someone losses.I hope she continues to writemore, I will certainly be reading them.

Excellent

Callahan, Edna, and the House Mouse crew are at it again.This is an excellent entry in the Callahan Garrity mystery series.I was privileged to hear Ms Trocheck speak about her mystery series last week at a booksigning in the Raven Mystery bookstore in Lawrence, Kansas.I enjoyedhearing her talk about her characters.Having visited the Atlanta,Georgia area several times, I can picture in my mind's eye the areas MsTrocheck describes as the House Mouse crew goes about their dailygrind.I recommend this series to everyone, but I also recommend startingwith the first of the series so as to enjoy character development and plotdetails that are revealed in later books in the series.I am lookingforward to the next in the series.

Callahan, Edna, and Friends are at it Again!

Callahan Garrity is one of the best protagonists in contemporary mysteries. She's funny, irascible, sharp-tongued, and determined--the possessor of great detecting skills, a finely-honed sense of justice, andan unsurpassed supporting cast. In "Midnight Clear," she's calledupon, or in Callahan's view, put-upon, by her mother Edna to come to theaid of a prodigal brother suspected of murder. A well-constructed plot, agreat sense of place (Atlanta), and a slam-bang finish. A hard-to-put-downread for the holidays.
