Gaffe Out Loud by Christy Barritt

 

About the Book:

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 Review:

I enjoyed this installment of the Joey Darling series via audiobook. With her quirky traits, behavior, and dialogue, I found myself engaged in this cozy mystery. I did not like the choice of using the tea leaves reference during the story indicating a witchcraft reference. It was one reference in the whole of the story. I enjoy Ms. Barritt's writing style and enjoyed this escapade of Joey Darling. I look forward to reading about Joey's other crime adventures.

I voluntarily received a complimentary copy from the author All opinions and thoughts are my own.
