Order of Callahan Garrity Books

Meet Callahan Garrity, the unforgettable protagonist of Kathy Hogan Trocheck's (who also writes as Mary Kay Andrews) compelling mystery series. This former Atlanta police officer has traded her badge for cleaning supplies, running a cleaning service while occasionally taking on private investigation work on the side.

Callahan is refreshingly authentic—a middle-aged, out-of-shape woman who never hesitates to speak her mind. She shares her bungalow with her mother, who was instrumental in convincing her daughter to enter the cleaning business after leaving law enforcement behind.

Readers first encountered this distinctive sleuth in 1992's Every Crooked Nanny, launching what would become a beloved mystery series. The books follow both their publication timeline and the chronological progression of Callahan's adventures, making them perfect for readers who enjoy following a character's journey from beginning to end.
