Have you met Joey Darling yet? Books 1-3 in her Worst Detective Ever series are now bundled for your convenience!

Ready to Fumble

I'm not really a private detective. I just play one on TV.

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?

Reign of Error

Sometimes in life, you just want to yell “Take two!”

When a Polar Plunge goes terribly wrong and someone dies in the icy water, former TV detective Joey Darling wants nothing to do with subsequent investigation. But when her picture is found in the dead man’s wallet and witnesses place her as the last person seen with the man, she realizes she’s been cast in a role she never wanted: suspect.

Joey makes the dramatic mistake of challenging the killer on camera, and now it’s a race to find the bad guy before he finds her. Danger abounds and suspects are harder to find than the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island. But when Joey finds a connection with this case and the disappearance of her father, she knows there’s no backing out.

As hard as Joey tries to be like her super detective alter ego, the more things go wrong. Will Joey figure this one out? Or will her reign of error continue?

Safety in Blunders

My name is Joey Darling, and I’m a disgrace to imaginary detectives everywhere.

When actress Joey Darling discovers a mermaid tail with drops of fresh blood on it while hiking in a remote nature preserve, she knows something suspicious is going on.

As details surface, Joey realizes she’s dealing with a problem she has encountered one too many times: someone desperate for fame who falls victim to a predator. With the help of her neighbor Zane Oakley and the opposition of local detective Jackson Sullivan, Joey hunts for answers, unaware of the deadly net in which she’s about to entangle herself.

Joey knows she’s a fish out of water when it comes to cracking cases, but can she use her talent - acting - to help find the missing woman? Or will Joey end up swimming with sharks?

Great series

I love Christy Barrett’s books. She adds humor to precarious situations. The main character is quirky and has no idea how to solve the mysteries that fall into her lap. Very enjoyable!

good story

good story. mystery, and romance tied together. it was an enjoyable listen. The narrator did a great job!

Funny and so relatable

I loved this character. She's so real. The mysteries are great and this series has me hooked! Love Love Love.

not worth $14 each

cute, fun, terrible puns that make you groan, and well performed BUT pretty predictable and not worth $14 for a 5 hour book. bummer. i would've liked to see what happened next.

I used a credit

And I’m not mad about it. I’m actually looking forward to the next book. Good job.

A little cheesy

It’s a little cheesy at first but once you get into the story it gets much better. Narrator was great as well

Fun and clean mystery! I loved it!

I loved that it was written so well that I didn’t figure out the Who Done It!

Good, clean fun

If you like Stephanie Plum, then you’ll probably like Joey Darling. If you made Evanovich’s novels PG rated and threw in some old-fashioned values, you’d be in the same ballpark as this series. Patricia Santomasso does a GREAT job with all the characters. I was considering buying the rest of the series as ebooks, but can’t deny myself the pleasure of this narrator’s reading.

Light hearted mystery

I was looking for something lighter but still a mystery. 3 books for 1 credit just was a bonus for what I wanted. I got books 4-6 also and can’t wait to start them to find out which man gets the girl!

Entertaining

I had low expectations for this series, as the last detective book bundle I bought was not that great. I was pleasantly surprised by this series. I’ve enjoyed getting to know Joey and I like that this series is done in first person. It’s a cute series, and I look forward to finishing it (I’m on book 7). I will definitely be looking into Barritt’s other series when I’m done.
