Book Beginnings, First Line Friday, & Friday 56: Not on My Botch (The Worst Detective Ever Book 11) by Christy Barritt

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two. I'm also linking up with Carrie at Reading is My Superpower for First Line Friday.

This week I'm featuring Not on My Botch (The Worst Detective Ever Book 11) by Christy Barritt. This is my favorite Christy Barritt series, so I was ecstatic when I saw there was a new addition. It's so good!

About the Book

She never thought she’d have to fight for the leading role in her own life . . .

Actress Joey Darling enjoys playing the part of Detective Raven Remington on her TV show Relentless. But for now, she’s enjoying some downtime with her new husband, Jackson Sullivan.

Joey’s peace is shattered when a woman comes into town, who not only looks and sounds like Joey, but who claims to actually be Joey. The resemblance is uncanny, but Joey has blundered her way through too many real-life episodes to let some impersonator ruin her life. She sets out to unmask this imposter and put an end to the woman’s charade.

But the real-life plot isn’t wrapped up in a nice, tidy bow like on TV. The case of her stolen identity soon turns into a dangerous fight for survival.

Will Joey have the chance to write the script for her own life? Or will her plans be botched one final time?

Book Beginnings / First Line Friday

"Joey, why in the world are you at the grocery store? I thought you were meeting us for lunch?" Dizzy Jenkins' voice came through my cell phone sounding high-pitched and almost accusatory - in the most loving way possible, of course.

Friday 56

"We're doing a stakeout, aren't we?" I asked as Jackson and I strolled the beach slowly, trying not to be too obvious.

"I suppose we are."

I looped my arm through his. "This is so exciting!"
