SHE PLAYED ONE ON TV, BUT CAN MAIZIE ALBRIGHT MAKE IT AS A DETECTIVE IN REAL LIFE?

For fans of romantic comedy mysteries like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series and Meg Cabot's Heather Wells Mysteries. The Wall Street Journal bestselling and international-award winning author Larissa Reinhart brings her readers the first in the Maizie Albright Star Detective series, Hot Mystery Reviews’ "Top 10 Mysteries for Book Clubs.”

”Child star and hilarious hot mess Maizie Albright trades Hollywood for the backwoods of Georgia and pure delight ensues. Maizie's my new favorite escape from reality.”— Gretchen Archer, USA Today bestselling author of the Davis Way Crime Caper series

Three Teen Choice Awards, One Emmy Nomination, and several Maxim covers later, Maizie Albright was an ex-teen star, stuck in reality show hell, and standing before a California judge. She has one chance for a new life: return home to Black Pine, Georgia, and get a job that has nothing to do with show business.

So why not become the character she played during the happiest days of her life — a private detective.

Great. Except Maizie's got 10 days to land the job to keep her probation.

10 days to convince the only private investigator in town, Wyatt Nash, to hire her. A man who could use some help.

But not, it seems, from a fallen celebrity.

10 days to shake the reality show that's followed her to Georgia. A show that seems intent on ruining her chances for a new life.

Because prison time gets better ratings.

10 days to convince herself she's not falling in love with Nash. A (really hot) man who doesn't want to have anything to do with her.

But what else is new?

10 days to figure out what happened to the wife of Nash's client. The woman Maizie was tailing for the client without Nash knowing.

Although the wife's killer knows. Because now they want to kill Maizie, too.

What will 10 days cost Maizie? Other than imprisonment, her dignity, and maybe her life?
