Every Crooked Nanny (Callahan Garrity Series #1) was a real treat – full of southern humor, sass and wit! Loving the new series mixed with a little mystery, detective work, cleaning business --- funny southern women from Atlanta (so right on). I lived in Atlanta most of my life until a few years ago, in Buckhead, Midtown, Peachtree Hills and off Paces Ferry in Vinings, so loved hearing all these mentions - Highlands and Little Five Points (always my favorite)!!! I was also a publisher for commercial real estate and former director of the North Fulton Chamber in Alpharetta, so enjoyed the real estate development tie in. I recommend buying the audio as (narrator had the southern draw down)…..as laughed the entire day while I was working online building a website and finished it in one day.

If you liked Janet Evanovich's Jersey Stephanie Plum and Lula - you will love this series (instead of Jersey accent you get sweet southern)with the same spunk and humor! Out to get their man!

Also loved the e-book “Killer Fudge” a short story prelude ----- Atlanta private investigator/cleaning business owner Callahan Garrity once again proves her ability to clean up a sticky mess. When the grandson of faithful House Mouse employee Ruby is charged with murdering an an elderly antique dealer, Callahan is called on to investigate. What she discovers is a recipe for homicide. Looking forward to the series!

Neva Jean, a house cleaner for House Mouse, a cleaning company got into a huge fight with Swantell , her boyfriend who dumped her in a Walmart in Macon with just her shoes & her book. Callahan who owns House Mouse wires Neva some money to get home as she has clients tomorrow morning.

I absolutely loved all this twists, turns & hilarity of this book. I can’t wait to dive into more of this series

Eh, not a series I think I would search for more of, but as my official second audiobook it was a lot better than the first. I think the narrator was better, and the story was a good one for my commute.

I enjoy police procedural & detective novels. Yes, give me all the details of how you solved the crime! Especially when the lead is a semi-tough, big-hearted young woman--ex-sorority girl & ex-cop--with a smart-mouthed mama & many quirky friends. Fun & entertaining.

funny mystery! this was a great book to listen to while packing/unpacking and driving. rated a little lower due to excessive language. i'm sure i'll listen to more in this series!

the details are a dated. decently entertaining, no masterpiece though, lower quality than the other Mary Kay Andrews books I've listened to lately, but perhaps it's because it's one of her early ones.

Weird characters. Didn’t find them interesting. Boring
