Christy Barritt: Blooper Freak



By Kelly Bridgewater

Real life is nothing like TV.

Joey Darling, actress and detective by default, is reminded of this point daily. If only problems could be solved in sixty minutes, complete with commercial breaks, closing credits, and a catchy theme song.

Joey accompanies Detective Jackson Sullivan to a crime scene, only to discover she knows the victim. After a friend is accused of murder, Joey can't refuse her help--however bumbling it might be. Unfortunately, she only seems to dig up more questions instead of desperately needed answers.
When a misguided fan offers clue, Joey discovers something much deeper than a single crime. But can she sort through all the various story lines to get to the truth? Or will one blooper after another put not only the investigation in jeopardy but her life as well?

My Thoughts:

Blooper Freak is the fifth installment in the Joey Darling's The Worst Detective Ever Mystery series by Christy Barritt. With mystery and romance, the story centers around a dead body found buried in the sand. Joey continues to use her detective skills from Raven Remington to solve this mystery. With a trail of clues and interviews, Joey is on the way to solving the mystery. But this time around, a friend is accused of being the murderer, so Joey is more determined to clear her friend's name. The romance between Joey and Detective Jackson Sullivan heats up a little more with this installment. Not too cliché romance novel romance, but a romance which grows with respect and admiration as Jackson and Joey learn to trust and learn more about each other. The plot moves quickly as Joey and Jackson work as a team to solve the mystery. I finished the book in a couple of hours, flying through the pages. Overall, Blooper Freak is another wonderful installment in this series. I can't wait to read more of Christy Barritt's writing. 

I received a complimentary copy of Blooper Freak from Christy Barritt, but the opinions stated are all my own.

My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
