Every Crooked Nanny

By: Mary Kay Andrews

Narrated by: Hillary Huber

“Fresh, confident, intelligent and amusing. Grab a cold drink, put your feet up, and enjoy yourself.”— Sue Grafton

The first entry in a thoroughly original and witty series that sets Atlanta house cleaner cum sleuth Callahan Garrity on the trail of a client’s missing au pair, now published under the name Mary Kay Andrews for the first time.

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.

Callahan is on the job when her client announces that her pretty, nineteen-year-old Mormon nanny has disappeared—along with jewelry, silver, and some sensitive real-estate documents.

Soon Callahan and her crew of eccentric cleaners are involved in a job messier than any they've ever encountered. Illicit love triangles, crooked business deals, long-distance scams— it's going to require some industrial-strength sleuthing on Callahan's part to solve this one.

Andrews can tell a funny story

This is the first Callahan mystery I have read and I think it carried the wit and southern character development of her other stories. The first story I read of Mary Kay Andrews was Itty Bitty Lies- I laughed till I wet my pants. If you know the south, you will know all these people. A light hearted romp.

Winner overall with a few irritations

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

You have to be of a particular mindset to enjoy this series, but keep an open mind and enjoy the experience.

What other book might you compare Every Crooked Nanny to and why?

Definitely get the other Mary Kay Andrews titles. She has a deadeye aim on southern life and writes with wit and charm!

Did Hillary Huber do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Narrator really needs to double check some of her city pronunciations. "Beaufort" is not pronounced "Bo-Fort", and at first I didn't even recognize what she was talking about. I do enjoy this narrator but some of the minor characters start to sound alike after a while.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, this is the perfect pick up and put down and come back listen.

Any additional comments?

I adore Mary Kay Andrews and while it took me a while to get used to this series, I am now sold and will listen to all of them.

love it

Fun and ibteresting. love the accent. i am from Georgia and visit Atlanta often.....love the licap references.

Callahan love!!!

The best book in the whole series.. in my opinion :-) The others are great too! I have read every one

GOOD STORY BUT.....

The narrator KILLED this book for me. I'm very Southern and the accent insults me greatly. It made it very hard to finish a good story. Her voice grated on my nerves throughout the story. I'm not sure I can continue with the series.
