Homemade sin: a callahan garrity mystery - mary kay andrews

Callahan Garrity is the owner of House Mouse, a cleaning service that tidies up after Atlantas elite.

Shes also a former cop and a part-time sleuth.

She and her coterie of devoted helpers can ransack a house for clues faster than it takes a fingerprint to set.

Some people might call Callahan Garrity nosy, but she prefers to think of her tendency toward snooping as a healthy interest in the truth.

So when news reaches her of her cousin Pattis death during a carjacking, Callahan shakes off her House Mouse cleaning uniform to don her detectives cap.

Its not that she doesnt have confidence in the Atlanta police--she used to be among their ranks--but the crime is too incongruous with Pattis suburban life to seem like a random incident.
