Strange Brew (Callahan Garrity Series #6)

by Mary Kay Andrews

Overview

“Callahan Garrity mops up the scene in an Atlanta neighborhood where murder meets its match in this feisty, funny heroine. Strange Brew offers up a tidy mystery with a polished writing style and industrial strength suspense.” — Sue Grafton

The sixth book in the Callahan Garrity mystery series by New York Times bestselling author Mary Kay Andrews finds the beloved sleuth facing a brew of community troubles—as her bohemian Atlanta neighborhood morphs into a trendy haven for yuppies—and an old flame.

Cleaning lady turned sleuth Callahan Garrity has cautiously watched her hometown be transformed—and just as she fears, too much cappuccino and new money can be a bad mix.

When the young owner of a microbrewery looking to score prime real estate turns up dead, neighborhood local Wuvvy—an aging flower child and the brewster’s biggest foe—becomes the prime suspect. Digging for evidence to clear Wuvvy, Callahan isn’t prepared for the succulent secrets she finds, nor the shocking truths that force her to reassess old friendships and an old love.

The Callahan Garrity novels can be read in any order, but the full series includes:

• Every Crooked Nanny
• To Live and Die in Dixie
• Homemade Sin
• Happy Never After
• Heart Trouble
• Strange Brew
• Midnight Clear
• Irish Eyes
