Review: Reign of Error (The Worst Detective Ever #2) by Christy Barritt


About the Book

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?


My Review

Four Stars

Reign of Error, book two in the Worst Detective Ever Series, was SO good! I think I might've even liked it better than the first. It's a fascinating mystery that left me guessing until the end. I read it as fast as I could. There was a lot of action and I found it to be unputdownable. (Is that a word?)

Joey's hosting and participating in the Polar Plunge Challenge. The event takes a turn for the worse when a body washes ashore... the body of a man Joey had just talked to right before the Plunge. She takes it upon herself to investigate his death.

Joey is such a likeable character. She does have a tendency to do occasionally outrageous things while she's investigating, leaving me shaking my head. But I think that makes her more likeable and relatable because she's trying to do something good (just maybe not in the best way, lol). There's a definite love triangle brewing and I honestly don't know who to root for. Jackson and Zane are both great guys. There was some progress made in the disappearance of Joey's dad, so I'm curious to find out what happens next. I love the setting of this series! The Outer Banks seems like a really great place to go for a visit. I had such a great time reading REIGN OF ERROR and am eager to start book three!
