Publisher's summary

The winds of change are blowing, bringing gentrification to Callahan Garrity's funky Atlanta neighborhood. Though it probably won't harm her House Mouse housecleaning service, not everyone welcomes the rebirth. And when the body of a murdered microbrewer is discovered in the aftermath of a furious Halloween gale, suspicion falls on the aging "flower child" shopkeeper whom the victim put out of business.

A former cop, Callahan isn't as quick to condemn a colorful local character as some law officers still on the force. But her investigative zeal is stirring up secrets that are forcing her to reassess old friendships and a one-time love - and is brewing up more lethal trouble than Callahan and her "mice" can safely swallow.

Boring, base, vulgar

Not the Mary Kay Andrews to which I am accustomed. Light-hearted humor traded in for base characters,

Good

The plot was good and kept you guessing. But there had to be about 20 F- bombs before Chapter 4. However the cursing decreased are that.

Terrific ending

This is a nearly 30 year old book so there are noticeable changes in attitudes and technology but for all that, the story hangs together well. I liked the main character; loved Edna and “the girls”. And it has a crackerjack ending that makes every minute of listening worthwhile.

Fun series

I love this series of books. Mary Kay Andrews is an incredible storyteller and Hillary Huber is an amazing narrator. She does a fantastic job at the different character voices. I’m always looking for more by these two.
