Actress Joey Darling is beginning a new season . . . of her TV show and
her life.
Joey Darling’s life is finally on track. Her hit series has been picked up by a new network, her relationship with Detective Jackson Sullivan couldn’t be better, and she’s even bought a house. But right after taking possession, Joey discovers a dead body upstairs.
Joey knows she won’t have any peace until she figures out why a dead woman was left at her house and who killed her. And she desperately needs peace as the “normal” life she’s trying to establish quickly progresses from great to the brink of collapse.
The countdown is ticking as Joey must soon leave to begin filming. But one gaffe after another slows her investigation and makes her question her choices. The closer Joey gets to answers, the more someone is determined to make sure this season of her life is canceled—permanently.

My Thoughts:
Reading a Christy Barritt novel is like returning to a
family reunion after a couple months away. I get swept up into the character's
lives right where Barritt left them in the last book. I watched the characters
move forward, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worst. I enjoy
returning to familiar characters and familiar settings. Barritt is also a
wonderful creator of cozy mysteries. All of her mysteries are different and
unique. I don't know how she does it. As for me, her newest book in the Joey
Darling series, Gaffe Out Loud, had a
mystery element I didn't see coming, but I thoroughly enjoyed the hunt as Joey
and Jackson worked together on their relationship and the hunt for clues. The
story moved quickly, and I was sad to see another Barritt novel end, but I know
Barritt will write more, so it lifts my spirit. I recommend this book to anyone
who is a fan of any of Barritt's previous
novels or enjoy a good mystery to
pass the time.
My Rating:
4 out of 5 stars
