I'm not really a private detective. I just play one on TV. Joey Darling, better known to the world as Raven Remington, detective extraordinaire, is trying to separate herself from her invincible alter ego. She played the spunky character for five years on the hit TV show Relentless , which catapulted her to fame and into the role of Hollywood's sweetheart. When her marriage falls apart, her finances dwindle to nothing, and her father disappears, Joey finds herself on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, trying to piece her life back together away from the limelight. A woman finds Raven-er, Joey-and insists on hiring her fictional counterpart to find a missing boyfriend. When someone begins staging crime scenes to match an episode of Relentless , Joey has no choice but to get involved. Joey's bumbling sleuthing abilities have her butting heads with Detective Jackson Sullivan and kindling sparks with thrill-seeking neighbor Zane Oakley. Can Joey channel her inner Raven and unearth whodunit before she ends up totally done in? And where is her father anyway? Can she handle fame or is disappearing into obscurity the wiser option? Get Ready To Fumble your way through this enchanting new series.

Another winner from one of my all-time favorite mystery/romantic suspense authors! You absolutely cannot go wrong in choosing any Christy Barritt book to read. Every time I read one it quickly becomes my new favorite and, of course, Ready To Fumble fell right into my usual pattern.
Joey is such a quirky and flawed character that you can't help but like her. While most of us aren't movie-star gorgeous like she is, we can still relate to the fact that her life isn't pristine and perfect, in fact, it's a mess.
Christy Barritt has a real knack for penning zany characters who find themselves in some pretty wacky and even dangerous situations. Murder has truly never been so much fun...at least for readers...
Ready To Fumble is a wonderful start to a new mystery series from one of Christian fiction's most talented authors. It's a book, and a series, that you won't want to miss!

Cold Hearted Murder
In this second book of Christy Barritt's "The Worst Detective Ever" Series, poor Joey is drawn in to another murder! With friend Zane as her sometimes helpful but always fun sidekick, Joey tries to find out who killed a man who had HER picture in his wallet! Much to the dismay of police detective Jackson Sullivan, Joey stumbles onto clues the police might have missed, and once again she's thrown into danger. And the town's mayor, loving all the publicity Joey's fame brings, keeps getting her in deeper and deeper. As the case gets stranger and stranger, she picks up clues about her missing father, but doesn't know how to connect all the pieces. I love the quirky characters, the setting (Outer Banks of North Carolina), and the two guys in Joey's life (but I have to admit, I'm rooting for Jackson).
