Overview

“Midnight Clear*explores the family ties that bind and blind...[It] will make you laugh, make you cry, make you mad, and make you wonder right up until the very last page.”**-*Boston Globe

In this heartwarming, suspenseful, and hilarious novel, Callahan Garrity and the outrageous band of ""girls"" in her Atlanta cleaning crew join together during the Christmas rush to prove that her ne'er-do-well brother didn't kill his tawdry estranged wife.

It's a few days before Christmas, and sometime sleuth/full-time cleaning lady Callahan Garrity has things under control for a change, until her brother Brian shows up. He's kidnapped his toddler daughter, Maura, from his estranged wife, a vengeful shrew with the law on her side.

When his ex-wife is found dead, the cops suspect Brian. To save her brother and her holiday, Callahan, along with her irascible mom, Edna, and a gaggle of House Mouse employees, will crisscross yuletide Atlanta, going everywhere the search for truth leads.

Editorial Reviews

DECEMBER 2013 - AudioFile

Hillary Huber continues as the voice of Callahan Garrity in this seventh novel featuring the private detective and owner of the House Mouse cleaning service in Atlanta, Georgia. Huber adeptly depicts Callahan’s hot temper and feisty attitude when her troubled brother, Brian, shows up unannounced after years of absence and drops off his 3-year-old daughter, Maura. Huber skillfully portrays Callahan’s spunky mother, who is hurt that she didn’t know she had a granddaughter, as well as the adorable but not-yet-potty-trained Maura herself. The Southern voices of Callahan’s cleaning crew also make for entertaining listening. Things turn serious when Maura’s mother is murdered, and Brian becomes the main suspect.
