Safety in Blunders — Christy Barritt

Hollywood sweetheart Joey Darling's adventures and mishaps continue in the third book of the charming mystery series set in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. My name is Joey Darling, and I'm a disgrace to imaginary detectives everywhere. When actress Joey Darling discovers a mermaid tail with drops of fresh blood on it while hiking in a remote nature preserve, she knows something suspicious is going on. As details surface, Joey realizes she's dealing with a problem she has encountered one too many times: someone desperate for fame who falls victim to a predator. With the help of her neighbor Zane Oakley and the opposition of local detective Jackson Sullivan, Joey hunts for answers, unaware of the deadly net in which she's about to entangle herself. Joey knows she's a fish out of water when it comes to cracking cases, but can she use her talent -- acting -- to help find the missing woman? Or will Joey end up swimming with sharks?
