Irish Eyes: A Callahan Garrity Mystery

“Entertaining. . . . If you are up for a big helping of humor and heartbreak, insanity and intrigue, read Irish Eyes.” —Orange Country Register

The eighth outing in the heartwarming and hilarious mystery series from New York Times bestselling author Mary Kay Andrews featuring former cop turned cleaning lady Callahan Garrity and her outrageous Atlanta cleaning crew.

Callahan Garrity is the owner of House Mouse, a cleaning service that tidies up after Atlanta's elite. She's also a former cop and a part-time sleuth, and she and her coterie of devoted helpers can ransack a house for clues faster than it takes a fingerprint to set.

When Callahan gets caught in a liquor store holdup on the way home from a St. Paddy's Day party, one of her best friends is shot. Callahan and her House Mouse cleaning crew dive into the investigation—only to discover that her old friend might have been working both sides of the law as an accomplice in a string of robberies. It will take every trick they've got to pierce the veil of secrecy surrounding an Irish police organization and prove that the case is more than it seems.

The Callahan Garrity novels can be read in any order, but the full series includes:

• Every Crooked Nanny
• To Live and Die in Dixie
• Homemade Sin
• Happy Never After
• Heart Trouble
• Strange Brew
• Midnight Clear
• Irish Eyes

Original and suspenseful, Irish Eyes is the best of the bunch. - The Snooper

This is an entertaining, suspenseful romp. The plot zips along but not too fast to blur the exceptional characters. Trocheck's obvious firsthand knowledge of Atlanta makes her descriptions of the city shine with realism. Evanovich fans will appreciate some similarities, but Trocheck's humor is drier. Irish eyes won't be the only ones smiling while reading this first-rate thriller. - Booklist

Trocheck skillfully blends family, generational, ethnic, racial, medical and criminal conflicts into her Irish stew. Her Garrity is an appealing heroine, hard-working and principled, while Bucky is just one of many well-drawn members of the community of family and friends for whom she gives her all in this satisfying tale. - Publishers Weekly

“A dark tragedy of betrayal and corruption. . . . I highly recommend it.” - Cleveland Plain Dealer
