Actress Joey Darling is beginning a new season . . . of her TV show and her life. Joey Darling’s life is finally on track. Her hit series has been picked up by a new network, her relationship with Detective Jackson Sullivan couldn’t be better, and she’s even bought a house. But right after taking possession, Joey discovers a dead body upstairs. Joey knows she won’t have any peace until she … peace until she figures out why a dead woman was left at her house and who killed her. And she desperately needs peace as the “normal” life she’s trying to establish quickly progresses from great to the brink of collapse.
The countdown is ticking as Joey must soon leave to begin filming. But one gaffe after another slows her investigation and makes her question her choices. The closer Joey gets to answers, the more someone is determined to make sure this season of her life is canceled—permanently.

I feel like the narrator of the audiobooks in this series encompasses Joey Darling. It’s kind of enjoyable listening to someone voicing the thoughts running around Joey’s head. And oh boy, are there a lot of those in Gaffe Out Loud.
Joey Darling is becoming an official resident of Nags Head with the purchase of a home. Even with her series reboot a go, she’s putting down roots in North Carolina. But, in true Joey fashion, trouble finds her. This time in the form of a dead body in her new-to-her house.
Finally, Joey and Jackson have the DTR talk and, even though there are some ups and downs in it along the way, the conclusion made me happy. I’m looking forward to finding out how Christy Barritt will resolve the new challenges thrown at Joey when she returns to work.
In the latest Installment of the Joey Darling books, she begins a new chapter professionally and personally. I really enjoyed Joey and Jackson’s growing relationship, Joey maturing into a homeowner, and the mystery surrounding the dead woman in Joey’s new house. Joey and her friends are so much fun, and I always enjoy seeing what they will get into next! Can’t wait to see what happens next!
When a person buys a beach house the last thing they would expect is a body in a bedroom. Except if the buyer is actress Joey Darling.
Solving the crime puts her relationship with police officer Jackson Sullivan in danger. But her determination to find and expose the killer takes danger to a whole new level—even for Joey Darling.
Love all of the books by Christy Barritt
I love Christy Barrits books. Fun and entertaining with characters that don’t take themselves too seriously and are relatable
Always like Christy’s books. Always easy to read quickly..
Reading a Christy Barritt novel is like returning to a family reunion after a couple months away. I get swept up into the character’s lives right where Barritt left them in the last book. I watched the characters move forward, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worst. I enjoy returning to familiar characters and familiar settings. Barritt is also a wonderful creator of cozy mysteries. All of her mysteries are different and unique. I don’t know how she does it. As for me, her newest book in the Joey Darling series, Gaffe Out Loud, had a mystery element I didn’t see coming, but I thoroughly enjoyed the hunt as Joey and Jackson worked together on their relationship and the hunt for clues. The story moved quickly, and I was sad to see another Barritt novel end, but I know Barritt will write more, so it lifts my spirit. I recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of any of Barritt’s previous
novels or enjoy a good mystery to pass the time.
Joey Darling is back in Gaffe Out Loud, the seventh installment of the hilarious Worst Detective Ever series. And oh my goodness, I am so glad she’s back! I hadn’t realized how much I’d missed her and all the rest of these quirky characters.
Everything’s finally going great for Joey. She’s got a wonderful boyfriend, her TV show was uncancelled and is about to start filming again, and she just bought a new house. Life is perfect…well… it was for a little while, but knowing Joey, nothing ever goes smoothly for long. The first day she’s in her new house, she finds a woman murdered in one of the bedrooms. And as we all know, Joey’s not about to stay out of it. She’s gotta solve this murder herself!
Joey’s still just as sassy, dramatic, and hilarious as ever! I laughed so much while reading this and seemed to have a perpetual smile on my face. This book was like a breath of fresh air. I was sad to see it end, but am very excited to find out what’s gonna happen next. I highly recommend this series!
On move-in day, finding a body in her beach home was not in Joey Darling’s plans. In fact, that was worst-case scenario and places her spot-on target in a tangled web of shady tourists, the eccentric artist seller and connection to her Relentless series reboot. While she would prefer to allow the police, especially her Jackson, to investigate, Joey learns that this is more than personal. Once again, her worlds collide in Christy Barritt’s latest series success and leaves fans wanting the next episode.
I received a complimentary copy of the book without obligation. This review is my opinion.
