Dubiosity by Christy Barritt

I was blessed to receive a copy of Dubiosity to review. I started it on December 26th before bed. I was so tired that I could not keep my eyes beyond the first couple of chapters.



So yesterday, I settled myself in my new chair in front of the wood burning stove, with my blanket and pillows. I did not move for hours as I read this romantic suspense.

Dang, Christy did it again!

She held my attention from cover to cover as the story of Savannah Harris unfolded page after page.

My only complaints:
  1. I get nothing accomplished when reading Christy's books
  2. They end way too soon and I have to wait for the next one
I have enjoyed every book I have ever read from Christy Barritt. Some I liked more than others. Dubiosity definitely goes into my "favorite" category.




Summary of Dubiosity

Savannah Harris vowed to leave behind her old life as an intrepid investigative reporter. But when a friend raises suspicions about two migrant workers who’ve gone missing from the sleepy coastal town Savannah calls home, her curiosity spikes. 

As ever more eerie incidents begin afflicting the area, each works to draw Savannah out of her seclusion and raise the stakes—for both Savannah and the surrounding community. Even as Savannah’s new boarder, Clive Miller, makes her feel things she thought long forgotten, she suspects he’s hiding something too, and he’s not the only one. Doubts collide in Savannah’s mind: Who can she really trust? 

As secrets emerge and danger closes in, Savannah must choose between faith and uncertainty. One wrong decision might spell the end…not just for her, but for everyone around her. 

Will she unravel the mystery in time, or will doubt get the best of her?

Random Acts of Murder by Christy Barritt

I started reading Random Acts of Murder the day I was supposed to make 12 pies (yes, 12) for Thanksgiving. I hated putting the book down and started my pies one hour and a half behind schedule. I could not wait to get back to that book!

I finished it within 24 hours and loved every minute of it. I was kind of sad when it ended because as of now there is no number 2 book in the series and this means I have to wait (not my favorite thing).

I have not enjoyed a book that much since the Squeaky Clean Mysteries by the same author.

I love Christy Barritt's styles and her plots. She is genuine, funny and one heck of a writer. I have read most of her books. Some I have enjoyed more than others and Random Acts of Murder is certainly at the top of my "Christy Barritt Favorite Book List."

If you like clean suspense/mysteries with a touch or romance, you'll love this book!





Summary of Random Acts of Murder

When Holly Anna Paladin is given a year to live, she embraces her final days doing what she loves most—random acts of kindness. But one of her extreme good deeds goes horribly wrong, implicating Holly in a string of murders. Holly is suddenly in a different kind of fight for her life. 

Only two other people know Holly was at the site of the murder, and one of them is the killer. Making matters stickier is the fact that the detective assigned to the case is her old high school crush and present day nemesis. 

The clocking is ticking as Holly is forced to play a dangerous game. Will Holly find the killer before he ruins what’s left of her life? Or will she spend her final days alone and behind bars? 


Holly was introduced to us in one of the Squeaky Clean Mysteries.

Hunted by Christy Barritt ~ Book Review

Hunted by Christy Barritt

I finished reading Hunted by Christy Barritt yesterday morning and I loved it! I devoured it in one day (no small feat for a mom of many!)

Then again, no big surprise. I recently read all eight - yes eight - novels in the Squeaky Clean Mystery Series by the same author. I love Christy's style and I love mysteries. BUT, the mysteries I read have to be clean as in not gratuitous gore, sex and/or foul language AND it must have an exciting plot and Christy delivers on all aspects.

Hunted is the second book in the Sierra Files (Pounced is the first on the series) which is spin off series from Squeaky Clean Mysteries  in which Sierra Nakamura is a secondary character. In the Sierra Files,  she becomes the main character.

I was a tad concerned I would not like this series as much as I liked Squeaky Clean Mysteries. I should not have worried. The two series fit together perfectly. It was delightful to read about characters from the "past" and again Christy penned great character and an awesome plot.





Hunted: Summary

Who knew a stray dog could lead to so much trouble? 

Newlywed animal rights activist Sierra Nakamura Davis is coming face to face with her worst nightmare: breaking the news she eloped to her ultra-opinionated tiger mom.  

Her perfectionist parents have planned a vow renewal ceremony at Sierra’s lush childhood home, but a neighborhood dog ruins the rehearsal dinner when he shows up toting what appears to be a fresh human bone. 


Between the dog, a nosey neighbor, and an old flame turning up at all the wrong times, Sierra hunts for answers. 

Surprises abound at every turn as Sierra embarks on a journey of discovery that leads to more than just who did the crime. 


If you love fun and exciting mysteries, read Hunted, you will not be disappointed.
