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.
“Cleaning lady-sleuth Callahan Garrity is as witty as ever.”
— Oklahoman
“Enjoyable … Women will like her distinctively female flavor to detecting. She’s not afraid to ask for help or directions…. Like a younger, less imperious Angela Lansbury.”
— St. Petersburg Times
“Excellent reading.”
— The Toronto Star
“It has more twists and turns than a country road [and] is a sure bet for an entertaining afternoon.”
— The Post and Courier (Charleston, SC)
“Although Trocheck’s writing is customarily breezy and her tone witty, she’s not afraid to scrub away at the veneer of hypocrisy that covers the attitudes of too many people when it comes to such serious and sensitive subjects as racism and homelessness. Heart Trouble gets to the heart of things.”
— Orlando Sentinel
“Memorable Southern personalities and on-target dialogue lift this appealing whodunit well above the norm.”
—Publishers Weekly
