MIDNIGHT CLEAR by Mary Kay Andrews ( Kathy Hogan Trocheck)

MIDNIGHT CLEAR by Kathy Hogan Trocheck (Mary Kay Andrews) Callahan Garrity and her House Mouse Cleaners are busy working and readying for Christmas when Brian, Callahan’s long lost brother makes an appearance. Brian shows up with his 2 year-old daughter, Maura. Turns out Brian has kidnapped Maura from his estranged wife and when the wife is discovered dead, Brian is the first (and only) suspect. Brian disappears, again, and Callahan and the girls get busy cleaning up after Brian along with their usual clients. Along with the murder and merry mayhem, there are plenty of laughs, in this Christmas outing by a master of the cosy mystery. You will enjoy every minute of this fun and chilling mystery. 5 of 5 stars
