Callaghan Garrett mystery series #1. Originally published under the name Kathy Hogan Trocheck. Original publication date 1992.
Callahan Garrett owns a cleaning company and though she is no longer a cop, she often takes on investigation work. When cleaning a house of a former college alum, Callaghan is hired to find the missing nanny who seems to have stolen money, jewelry and business paperwork.
A private investigator looks for clues and answers using contacts and friends via 1992 methods. A bit aged with seemingly irrelevant details that didn’t make sense to me on why they were included. A bit too much graphic violence in a beating. Several plot twists that moved the suspicion from one to another. Amateur side-kicks and the cleaning crew add depth.
Read for a bookclub. We all agree we liked parts of the writing and would try some of the author’s newer stories but probably would not make time to finish this particular series given our already extensive tbr counts. (
