Review: Flaw and Order (The Worst Detective Ever Book 14) by Christy Barritt

SYNOPSIS
Some women panic. Joey Darling packs a suitcase.

Joey Darling knows not to interfere with a police investigation—especially one involving her husband, Detective Jackson Sullivan. But when Jackson vanishes while working undercover and no one will tell her what's happening, Joey launches her own investigation.

Armed with little more than a cryptic clue, an overactive imagination, and her irrepressible Aunt Dizzy, Joey heads to a charming coastal town where a stranger seems far too interested in her arrival, mysterious late-night activity unfolds along the waterfront, and the tightlipped locals warn her to stay away from the wrong side of the docks.

She soon suspects Jackson is in far more danger than anyone realizes. But with no script to follow, a knack for turning simple surveillance into spectacular disaster, and a celebrity face even a clever disguise can’t hide, Joey must improvise now more than ever.

Will her flaws lead to order this time? Or will this be the case that plunges her in too deep to ever find her way back to the surface?


MY THOUGHTS

Flaw and Order did not disappoint! I loved it so much! It was so great being back with Joey and the gang. This is my favorite Christy Barritt series, so I’m always excited to see what new is going on with these characters. And there’s a lot that happens in this book!

Jackson, Joey’s husband, has been deep undercover for longer than he was supposed to be, so Joey and her aunt Dizzy take it upon themselves to head off and find him. Joey and Dizzy are quite the pair! They’re hilarious and often found themselves in some dangerous situations. But they always meant well!

While this book had me laughing out loud in so many spots, it also had me emotional in others and on the edge of my seat throughout too. It was the perfect combination of funny, suspenseful, and emotional. It took turns I wasn’t expecting, and there was resolution to some things from previous books. There’s also some exciting things to look forward to!

This book left a big smile on my face. I absolutely adored it! If you’re a fan of fun cozy mysteries, don’t hesitate to pick up this series. You’ll love it!

I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.

FIVE STARS
