Ready to Fumble

By Christy Barritt

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?

Alter Ego to the Rescue!

Ready to Fumble is author Christy Barritt's first book in a new series, and I am already hooked! I received this book in exchange for an honest review and I literally couldn't put it down! I read the entire book in two days. Poor Joey has gone through several rough life events and now her father is missing. After becoming a well-loved and well-paid TV star, Joey returns to her previous occupation, a hair stylist, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina -- in January! But her former "occupation" as a TV Detective catches up with her as she is drawn into the case of a missing boyfriend. As Joey reluctantly searches for the truth in the ensuing murder, as well as looking for her father, she clashes with a real police detective, Jackson Sullivan, and enjoys spending time with her surfer neighbor, Zane, who she is sure is a playboy. I didn't figure out whodunit until the very end. I loved the characters, and the mysteries involved, and look forward to Book #2 coming out soon!
