Joey can't help but stumble into trouble!
I really wondered when I picked up the first Worst Detective Ever Mystery Series book if I could possibly like Joey Darling as much as Holly Anna Paladin or Gabby St. Claire. I should never have wondered, this IS a Christy Barritt series after all. I've now finished book three, Safety In Blunders, and I am hooked on Joey, and this series, but good!
Joey is a a fun and quirky heroine, which also pretty much describes this book and series. Her life is a mess but that doesn't stop her from trying to help others...and risking her neck while she's at it...much to the chagrin of those closest to her.
Christy Barritt delivered just the right mix of funny moments, a little romance, and plenty of mystery and danger, to keep me interested, intrigued, and unable to put the book down. I enjoyed trying to solve Joey's latest mystery alongside her, and I was in for a few surprises. Definitely enjoyed Safety In Blunders and am looking forward to reading book 4 in the series!
