About the Book:

There’s no business like show business . . . especially when a killer is involved. Joey Darling’s local movie premiere was supposed to be a win-win for everyone involved. All the proceeds would go to the children’s wing at a local hospital, and the online buzz would create positive press for the area’s tourism. But things go awry when the event is sabotaged and Joey’s stunt double is seriously injured. Suspects seem sparser than quality G-rated movies, and police fear the intended target was actually Joey. Detective Jackson Sullivan and neighbor Zane Oakley—two men competing for Joey’s affection—insist on trading off guard duty until the bad guy is behind bars. To make matters even worse, Joey’s ex shows up right before the release of his tell-all book about his life with the Hollywood sweetheart. Someone seems determined to create real-life drama. But Joey isn’t one to be deterred. Though a movie-worthy villain wants to pull the plug on this production—and maybe even on a few people’s lives—Joey is determined that the show must go on.

My Thoughts:

I didn't think it was possible, but Christy Barritt has breathed life into a heroine that I love just as much (if not a smidge more) that Gabby St. Claire, the Squeaky Clean Mysteries heroine that has over a dozen books worth of my love.

Joey Darling is...well, she's just darling!  And she's back in the best of the Worst Detective Ever series, "Join the Flub."  When a publicity stunt goes horribly wrong, the question on everyone's mind is two fold: who did it, and who was the 'it' intended for?

Surely not America's sweetheart!  Oh, wait a minute...that would be Raven Remington, Joey's Hollywood alter ego that everyone loves.  Turns out, Joey has a few enemies of her own, and one of them wants to do her in.

Or is it really that simple?

Barritt also introduces us to the man we all love to not like (hate is such a strong word, but it would be a better choice--trying to play nice here!), Joey's ex-husband, the icky slimeball.  He shows up and naturally he is cast in the role of the perp, i.e., the one whodunit.

Eric is up to something, Zane is up to something, and Jackson is up to something.  Basically, EVERYONE seems to be up to something in "Join the Flub", and do your best to catch the culprit before Joey figures it out...

...just remember, she used to solve crimes for a living...as Raven Remington, that is.  Can the world's worst detective ever figure out who was the target and who committed the crime?  Can she find her father before it's too late?  And can we stop Eric from publishing his tell-all book?

These are the questions that will keep you turning pages into the wee hours of the night--or keep you from laundry, dishes, dusting, and all of the other fun adult stuff in your life.  Once you meet Joey, she will hold you captive until the last page turns.

Combining hilarity, hijinks, and a healthy handful of faith, Christy Barritt has a new hit series once again, and you're going to want to "Join the Flub"!  I'm giving this one my "oh, the feels!" stamp of approval.

"Join the Flub" is available now...so go get a copy today!
