About the Book
There’s no business like show business . . . especially when a killer is involved.
Joey Darling’s local movie premiere was supposed to be a win-win for everyone involved. All the proceeds would go to the children’s wing at a local hospital, and the online buzz would create positive press for the area’s tourism. But things go awry when the event is sabotaged and Joey’s stunt double is seriously injured.
Suspects seem sparser than quality G-rated movies, and police fear the intended target was actually Joey. Detective Jackson Sullivan and neighbor Zane Oakley—two men competing for Joey’s affection—insist on trading off guard duty until the bad guy is behind bars. To make matters even worse, Joey’s ex shows up right before the release of his tell-all book about his life with the Hollywood sweetheart.
Someone seems determined to create real-life drama. But Joey isn’t one to be deterred. Though a movie-worthy villain wants to pull the plug on this production—and maybe even on a few people’s lives—Joey is determined that the show must go on.

My Review
Four Stars
Join the Flub is another awesome addition to the Worst Detective Ever series. Joey is becoming one of my all-time favorite detectives. She's far better at the job than she gives herself credit for. I've said this before, but I'll say it again because it's true-she's incredibly relatable. You wouldn't expect a Hollywood starlet to be, but there's times when she says or does something and I start laughing because... yep... I've thought or done it before too.
There was a big sense of danger throughout which made Join the Flub have a bit more of a serious vibe to it. There were still plenty of laughs, too, though. A lot happened in this book. The mystery was great. I was sure I had the culprit figured out... Yeah... not so much, lol. Eric, Joey's ex husband, showed up in the flesh. And wow... what a complete and total jerk! I just thought he was bad before “meeting” him. He's terrible! But I do believe I'm developing quite the crush on Jackson. He's an awesome guy. I can't wait to find out what happens in the next book, Blooper Freak!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
