Joke and Dagger

The Worst Detective Ever, Book 8

By: Christy Barritt

Narrated by: Patricia Santomasso

Someone has flipped the script, and chaos abounds.

Joey Darling thought she’d take a quick acting gig between filming her hit TV show, Relentless, and prepping for an upcoming movie. The peaceful island of Lantern Beach seemed like a perfect getaway, especially when her fiancé joins her on location.

But from day one on the set, things go awry. Someone alters the script, adding a mysterious death to the movie. At first, the changes seem like a joke. But when real life imitates the script, Joey realizes there’s more to the story.

Joey has no choice but to search for answers—with the help of her fiancé, Detective Jackson Sullivan, of course. Each day, more danger comes Joey’s way, and it’s clear the killer is becoming more unraveled. Joey fears there’s a traitor on the set...but can she figure out the killer before the final cut?

Went down

I started this series & things were going fine until it turned out to a broken record about either Jackson is not replying because he is unhappy with Joey being an actress or questioning if the long distance relationship would work. Also the narrator suddenly developed a whispering technique that became too annoying to tolerate with headphones. Cringe! I cannot wait to finish the series to be done & done with this narrator and the author!

Just fun

I love these books. Joey is one of the more relatable amateur sleuths I’ve ever read!

narrator voice very annoying

wasn't funny or a comedy sound of narrator is annoying. very monotone. sounds like a generated computer voice.
