This week I'm featuring The Crime of Our Lives by Christy Barritt. This book was so fun! Heroines from three of Barritt's most popular series team up together in this exciting and hilarious mystery.
Take a ride with three of your favorite detectives in this Squeaky Clean, Worst Detective Ever, Lantern Beach crossover novel!
A forensic specialist with a knack for solving puzzles.
A police chief with a witness who just vanished.
And a Hollywood actress who can't seem to stay out of trouble.

And a Hollywood actress who can't seem to stay out of trouble.
Forensic specialist Gabby St. Claire Thomas travels to North Carolina’s Outer Banks to investigate a string of mysterious drownings. But what starts as a simple consultation with local law enforcement quickly spirals into chaos when they run into world-famous actress Joey Darling and her legion of fans.
The distraction allows a witness Lantern Beach Chief Cassidy Chambers is transporting to disappear—along with her car and phone. Now these three very different women team up to find him. As they do, it becomes clear that something sinister is brewing in this beach town.
With their unique combination of forensic expertise, law enforcement experience, and Hollywood connections, this trio might just be the perfect team to crack this case . . . if they can stay alive long enough to solve it.

“Breeze rushing through my hair
Music blaring like I don’t have a care
Iced coffee in my hand
All because I’ve got a plan
I’m going to solve a crime
Right on time…right on time.”
Yes, I made up the song. I even made up the tune, though I could totally hear Meghan Trainor singing it in my head. I, for one, thought the ditty was rather catchy.

My lungs remained frozen as I waited. If they were coming after us, they’d appear in this parking lot at any moment.
