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.

Read what murder & blue eye shadow have in common!
Another wacky mystery starring The Worst Detective Ever, Joey Darling! OK, so this series is probably one of my absolute favorites from Christy Barritt. Join The Flub was a little different in that....I can't tell you that! You are going to have to check this story out for yourself if you want to know...
Anyway, Join The Flub was a great way to pass an afternoon, with the perfect blend of mystery and humor from the talented pen of Christy Barritt.
I tell you a little secret, at least for me, my opinion of Joey's two love interests really tipped the scales in favor of one of them....but who? That's another thing you'll have to read this book to find out!

The Show Must Go On
Poor Joey! No matter how hard she tries to avoid them, mysteries just keep falling in her lap! I loved this 4th installment of Christy Barritt's The Worst Detective Ever Series. Joey has had her share of success and miseries, but she is excited that her movie premiere in the small town in the Outer Banks of NC where she is currently living, is going to raise money for charity. And she is thrilled that Detective Jackson Sullivan is escorting her to the premiere. But nothing is simple with Joey. Neighbor and friend, Zane also shows up to escort her to the event. From there, it goes downhill. Her stunt double and good friend is seriously injured, she finds a bomb in her trailer, the event is evacuated before it even begins, and her ex-husband shows up with his newest girlfriend to harass Joey, thanks to Joey's manager. Jackson and Zane take turns playing bodyguards, while all three try to find out who is out to get Joey. And Joey just wants to get her ex out of town and get the show on the road! Fun, fast read. Looking forward to #5. I received a free copy of this book. The opinions are my own.
