It was supposed to be a relaxing trip for novelist Morgan Blake.

Now it's her goal to give him that help. Gavin Antoine is the town's charming mayor and he would like to help Morgan forget about Tyler. Morgan's tempted to take him up on his offer. But as she's drawn deeper into uncovering what happened to the man she's hit, she's not sure whom she can trust. One thing's for sure: Morgan won't rest until she finds some answers.

I Loved this book! I love mysteries anyway, and have read many of Christy Barritt's books, and this one held my attention all the way through! I couldn't put it down! Morgan wants to get away and a town named "Perfect" seems to be the perfect place to get away, clear her head, and try to get over her writer's block. But nothing goes perfectly right from the start, beginning with running over a man in the road. Then he disappears! Morgan doesn't know who to trust, what to believe, and what she should do. Of course, her best friend is ready to help out. Twists and turns, and expecting the unexpected, are the best kind of mystery stories.

Don't turn out the light...
I've been wanting to read The Trouble With Perfect for quite awhile, ever since I was searching Amazon for all of Christy Barritt's books and came across this rather eye-catching title. After reading the blurb I knew I HAD to read it.
Not only is Christy Barritt one of my all-time favorite authors but I also love novels that feature authors as the main characters. The Trouble With Perfect did not disappoint! I was quickly immersed in Morgan's thrilling, and terrifying for her, adventures in small-town West Virginia. What could possibly go wrong in a town called Perfect? Believe me, I was biting my nails and breathlessly turning pages when all the exciting and even creepy things began to happen.
The story unfolded nice and slow at first, the author almost lulling you into thinking it's just a sleepy little town..and then...things start to happen and you wonder if Morgan will make it out...alive.
Christy Barritt has a real talent for holding her readers spell-bound which is very evident in this book and especially when the chilling secret of The Trouble With Perfect is finally revealed...
