Kathy Hogan Trocheck has created a feisty heroine in Callahan Garrity, a former cop who has started a cleaning agency called House Mouse. She is single and lives with her mother, a rather feisty lady herself. When none of her workers are available, Callahan takes on a job in a large house where she discovers that the owner is one of her former sorority sisters, Lilah Rose Beemish. When Lilah Rose's nanny, Kristee, is missing, she asks Callahan to help find her. They discover Kristee's body in a surprising place which implicates Lilah Rose's husband. As she begins investigating Kristee's life, Callahan discovers some very incriminating things about her. Add a few Mormons, a serious health problem for Callahan, and an extra-marital affair and you have an interesting and well-written cozy. This is the first book of a promising series.
