I’m also launching a new series called The Worst Detective Ever. Stay tuned for more details!

Clean Getaway by Christy Barritt Gabby St. Claire will be starring in a tree book mini-series that’s a part of the Squeaky Clean line. It’s called the Cold Case Squad, and the first book is Clean Getaway.

Random Acts of Murder Now Available!

Posted on July 3, 2014July 3, 2014 by Christy Barritt

The first book in my new mystery series is now available! Holly Anna Paladin was first introduced in Mucky Streak. She now has her own story!

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?

Click here to buy on Amazon! Will soon be available on Nook, iTunes, Kobo, and paperback!
