Review: One Hit Blunder (The Worst Detective Ever #12) by Christy Barritt

About the Book
When the ending of Joey’s upcoming movie leaves her unsettled, she’s determined to rewrite the script.

Actress Joey Darling has a new role. She’s starring as one-hit wonder Emma Jean Gibbons in an upcoming biopic. But the more she learns about the singer, the more Joey suspects Emma Jean’s death wasn’t as accidental as everyone thinks.

Joey sets out to uncover the truth. As the evidence piles up, she’s more convinced than ever that her gut feeling is correct. But the deeper she digs, the more Joey realizes she’s one blunder away from also facing an “accidental” death.

Will Joey manage to rewrite the script? Or will danger derail her movie . . . and her life?


MY THOUGHTS

Twelve books into this series, and it’s still so good! I love spending time with Joey and reading about her hilarious antics and unconventional crime-solving. She’s such a fun character.

Joey’s latest role has her starring in a biopic about one-hit wonder Emma Jean Gibbons, who tragically died young. The details of her death don’t add up to Joey, so she decides to try to figure out what really happened to the singer.

The mystery kept me guessing. I had a lot of suspicions about what really happened and who the guilty party might be, but could never nail it down.

If you’re a fan of mysteries that will make you laugh, this series will not disappoint.

FOUR STARS
