To Live & Die In Dixie
To Live & Die In Dixie: Callahan Garrity Mystery, A | Kathy Hogan Trocheck
4 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
From her time on the Atlanta police force, Callahan Garrity, house cleaner and private investigator extraordinaire, has excelled at mopping up messes -- of all kinds. But she has no idea what she's getting into when she agrees to work for infamous antiques dealer Elliot Littlefield. The first day on the job she and her crew discover the bloodied body of a young woman in a bedroom -- and are soon on the trail of a priceless Civil War diary stolen by the killer. As if two crimes aren't enough, deadly serious collectors, right-wing radicals, and impulsive teenagers make the case even more difficult to tidy up ... and more dangerous.

I am enjoying this series. Unfortunately this audiobook was missing parts. At the beginning it started in the middle of a sentence in the middle of a scene, the book intro & beginning were not there. This kept happening throughout the book at what I'm guessing would have been the beginning of each cd (I had a digital copy). So I missed what seemed like fairly significant chunks & had trouble figuring out who people were & following the clues.

The Callahan Garritty mystery series books are quick and easy reads. I liked this one better than most of them because the plot involving a missing Civil War diary was more interesting to me.

Another shot from #afwd2017. I wouldn't classify the Callahan Garritty books as cozies. They're light-ish, but she tackles racism, homelessness, and other social issues that I don't think you find in a cozy mystery. They read a little dated because they from the early 90s, but it's actually refreshing to see Callahan have to chase down info and not just whip out a smartphone. She's a PI, so that doesn't fit the cozy amateur sleuth genre rules.

Looks like I'm on a cozy kick. Part of the charm of these is that they're written in the early 90s, so no cellphones or internet. They read a little dated, but in the best way.
