Happy Never After audiobook

I enjoy these mysteries - fast paced, places I know, and not too deep - perfect poolside read.I had to laugh at this one....the book was written in the late 1990s and Callahan makes a comment about how the 80s as it was the decade that gave us Donald Trump. If Callahan could comment now! Just had to laugh out loud!

*I'm a teacher & have the summer off from official work hours. So July has been my binge reading month! Often, I listen to audiobooks with my earbuds as I clean, walk on the treadmill, etc. (I increase the narrator's speed to flow as quickly as I read myself.) I've read some wonderful stories and am enjoying summer '21 so much!

I’m enjoying this series but the main character, Callahan, is being a real bit$h towards her bf helping his daughter.

First, the reader of this is very talented, producing many different voices for the various characters. The story is well crafted with all the requirements: excellent dialogue, place, timing, suspense, mystery, and a superficial look into the pop music business This would make a good movie since it is so tightly packed into such a small space.

Would like more follow up after mystery is solved, but enjoyed it throughout

The throw back to an old girl group pulled at my heart strings! I always love older groups and getting a "where are they now" update for them in the book was so cool! And how I wish we could always find out what happens to them although in this case its not always peaches and roses. Rita has a darker past than the others but in the end they find the murderer thanks to Garrity who refuses to keep digging and getting some enemies to help her out along the way.

Happy Never After was rereleased this year and is the 4th book in the Callahan Garrity series. In this book from the series, Callahan is tasked with finding the third member of a now defunct girl group from the 60s called the Velvet Teens. The other two members of the group, her cousin and sister, have not seen her for 20 years. The search is on as a movie producer wants to use some of the Velvet Teens' old songs in a movie and possibly record new tracks with the group. Unfortunately along the way someone gets murdered and Callahan's investigative work changes from looking for a missing band member to trying to figure out whodunit. This book is a fun read; just remember as you are investing time in the book that it was written in the 90s. Things like the internet weren't around. The author references looking people up in the yellow pages and paying extraordinary sums for calls made on a car phone. It's a trip down a technological memory lane as well as a great mystery. I'm looking forward to the next books in the series that are schedule to be rereleased in October 2013.

This book did entertain me. I was sad to have C.W. Have a life-changing accident. Mac & Callahan took a little break in their relationship. The music background was interesting.

This is the fourth novel in the Callahan Garrity series. This is a novel that was copywrited in 1995 and may be difficult to find. There are some on EBay and Amazon that cost between $5.00 and $10.00.Callahan is again balancing her day by running her House Mouse cleaning service and her sometimes Private Detective Agency. Also, the reader must remember that she was a former Police Officer in the Atlanta Police Department.Callahan in trying to help a friend becomes involved with the murder of a music mogul. She is trying to find the third party of the VelvetTeens who are attempting a comeback. The Teens were a 60’s rock group that was responsible for their demise by the murdered music mogul. The lead singer is accused of the crime when she is found past out at the scene with the murder weapon in her hand ( she was passed out die to high alcoholic intake, she is an alcoholic).Callahan becomes involved with the murder while trying to find the missing third VelvetTeen.Another wonderful mystery by Kathy Hogan Trocheck that is suitable for all readers.

Callahan Garrity is asked to help find the third member of an old girl group. One of the members is the ex of a friend of hers. One member is a drunk and she ends up accused of murdering their former recording exec. Story centers around the music industry.Callahan starts working on the murder case and gets her House Mouse employees and her mother involved in searching for clues. There are lots if people who didn't like the victim and she has lots of motives to evaluate. She is having boyfriend problems which is adding to her stress levels. She gets into some dangerous situations and nearly gets killed.Fast paced, lots of drama, southern charm, references to "oldies" music.

I just read three of these books in two days. They are highly entertaining. I love love love Callahan, the main character. The other ever present cast in these books her mom, boyfriend, and her employees are just as much fun. She always seem to be able to solve the crime while almost always getting hr self killed! My only hold out on 5 scores is the ever present GD word. I’m no prude and will pop them out with the best of them however that one is off limits and sends me to prayers when I hear it. Other than that these are fun fun books.

I like this series. This book did leave a little confusion. It didn’t explain the whole boyfriend issue. It left it as a huge blank. This guy was so great and then in this book he was a huge jerk and then she never talked to him. I do wonder if he’ll be talked about in future books or if they will just never mention him again. It was weird. As I was listening to this book I wasn’t sure when it was written. They talked about VCR’s and cassette tape voicemails. I loved that I found out this as written in 1996. A whole technology era that today’s kids know nothing about.

This book #4 in this series and I am hooked. The characters in this series are unique. I so enjoy how Hillary Huber reads the characters. Hillary is fabulous at changing character voices. Callahan Garrity is my hero. Smart and confident, she gets to the bottom of a murder investigation and works to clear her client's name. Callahan lives by her own rules. She is determined to bring the killer to justice. Can't wait to read the next book in the series.
