Maizie Albright Star Detective series

SHE PLAYED ONE ON TV, BUT CAN MAIZIE ALBRIGHT MAKE IT AS A DETECTIVE IN REAL LIFE? For fans of romantic comedy mysteries with earnestly optimistic female protagonists like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum and Meg Cabot's Heather Wells. 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.  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 murderer knows. Because now they want to kill Maizie, too.) What will 10 days cost Maizie? Other than imprisonment, her dignity, and maybe her life?   "Maizie Albright is the kind of fresh, fun, and feisty star detective' I love spending time with, a kind of Nancy Drew meets Lucy Ricardo." — Award-winning author Penny Warner, Author of Death of a Chocolate Cheater and The Code Busters Club.   "Sassy, sexy, and fun, 15 Minutes is hours of enjoyment—and a wonderful start to a fun new series from the charmingly Southern-fried Reinhart." — Phoebe Fox, author of The Breakup Doctor series   "Larissa Reinhart's books hook you in!" — USA TODAY bestselling author CeeCee James   "I love Larissa Reinhart's books because they are funny but they also show the big heart of the protagonist." — Lynn Farris, Hot Mystery Review   "Larissa writes a delightful book.

BODY DOUBLES, DEAD BODIES, AND HOT BODIES ABOUND…WAIT, WHAT? From The Wall Street Journal bestselling mystery author, Larissa Reinhart, the second in the snappy, sassy, and sexy best-selling, award-nominated Maizie Albright Star Detective series. A Silver Falchion finalist for Best Cozy Mystery and Reader's Choice and finalist for Georgia Author of the Year, Best Mystery. Full of "witty dialogue, whacky antics, and quirky characters."   "A mixture of adventure, mystery, and romcom. So like Hollywood, you'll never figure out what is real and what is make-believe until you reach the end." —Laura's Interests   #StillAWannabeDetective In continuing her career-makeover quest as a for-real detective, ex-teen and reality star Maizie Albright has a big learning curve to overcome. A sleuthing background starring in a TV show—Julia Pinkerton, Teen Detective—does not cut the real-life mustard. It doesn't even buy her lunch, let alone extra condiments. Her chosen mentor, Wyatt Nash of Nash Security Solutions, is not a willing teacher. He'd rather stick Maizie with a safe desk job and handle the security solution-ing himself. But Maizie's got other plans to help Nash.   First, win Nash's trust. Second, his heart.   Wait, not his heart. His respect. His hearty respect.   So when a major movie producer needs a babysitter for his hot mess starlet, Maizie eagerly takes the job. But when her starlet appears dead and then not dead, Maizie's got more than an actress to watch and a missing corpse to find. Body doubles, dead bodies, and hot bodies abound when the big screen, small screen, and silent screams collide. Maizie's on the job, on the skids, and on thin ice, hunting a killer who may be a celebrity stalker. And Maizie just might be the next celebrity who gets snuffed.   "Fresh from Hollywood get ready to bubble along with Maizie Albright Star Detective. She's #adorbs." —Jena's Books   "Larissa Reinhart always brings humor and grit to her mysteries." —Terri L. Austin, author of the Rose Strickland Mysteries and the Null for Hire series.   "Maizie's missteps make each of her successes an absolute joy, and I encourage readers to delve into this lively, funny, and genuinely satisfying series." —Cynthia Chow, Kings River Life Magazine   "With visually descriptive narrative, humorous quips, witty repartee, and a quirky cast of characters, this was such a fun book to read. This was an engagingly entertaining book and I can't wait to see where we go next with Maize, Nash, and the rest of the gang." —Dru Ann Love, Dru's Book Musing   "I really enjoy this series. Part rom-com, part murder mystery, they are the perfect weekend read." —Jenna, Girl With Book Lungs   "The author has a flair for writing witty dialogue, whacky antics, and quirky characters.

WHAT BEGAN AS A SIMPLE TAILING OF ROGER PRICE BECAME THE WORST WEEK OF MAIZIE ALBRIGHT'S LIFE... "Action-packed, fast-paced, impossible to put down." It's The Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Larissa Reinhart's third book in the "sassy, sexy, and fun" best-selling Maizie Albright Star Detective series.   "The mystery and detective cases drive the story, but Larissa Reinhart's characters steal the show every time." —The Girl with Book Lung  #StillDetectiveing As an ex-star of a hit teen detective show, Maizie Albright gets the youth demographic. Or so she thought. Now that she's adulting, today's kids make Maizie feel out of date. At least the teen Youtube stars of Bigfoot Trackers, who want to hire her to look into the disappearance and possible murder of their producer. A murder the police find as likely as Bigfoot.   Maizie has her own suspicions about the new celebrity retreat where their missing person was last seen. Particularly when she learns her ex-fiancé has been hired to run the Center. Kind of an issue when she thought Oliver was in prison. Kind of an issue when Nash, the man of her dreams, is out of commission.   Wait, not "man of her dreams." Boss of her fantasies. Professionally speaking, of course.   While Maizie's looking for a missing Youtube star, she's wrangling her mother's wedding, assuaging an overzealous probation officer, and struggling to keep Nash Security Solutions solvent. Conspiracy theories collide with real-life catastrophes beginning with murder and possibly ending with Maizie's life.   Books in the Maizie Albright Star Detective series: 15 MINUTES  16 MILLIMETERS  NC-17  A VIEW TO A CHILL  17.5 CARTRIDGES IN A PEAR TREE  18 CALIBER  18 1/2 DISGUISES  19 CRIMINALS  20 CARATS   Other mystery series by Larissa Reinhart: A Cherry Tucker Mystery series A Finley Goodhart Crime Caper series   "This is an undeniably fun mystery that makes the most of celebrity lifestyles and replacement of network television by streaming channels, yet never sacrifices character development for laughs.

IS IT CONSIDERED STALKING YOUR BOYFRIEND IF HE'S INVOLVED IN YOUR MURDER INVESTIGATION? (ASKING FOR A FRIEND)   Turner & Hooch meets Mr. & Mrs. Smith in the eighth book of the Wall Street Journal bestselling Maizie Albright Star Detective series. For fans of rom-com mysteries—like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum or Jennifer Crusie's Liz Danger series—readers who love quirky characters, funny fast-paced plots, and amateur sleuthing heroines who earnestly agonize over (but not between) murder and marriage.   "I really enjoy this series. Part rom-com, part murder mystery, they are the perfect weekend read." —Girl With Book Lungs   #WannabeMrs.Smith Ex-celebrity and current (assistant) private investigator Maizie Albright finds her already strange life has become even odder. Her new partner is two hundred pounds and canine. And her ex-partner/still-boyfriend is on the wrong side of her infidelity case.   Not that Wyatt Nash is cheating.   At least not on Maizie. She thinks Nash is cheating on his boss. Her dad. Which sounds much worse than it is. Except it is (maybe) worse than it sounds…   It's Spy vs. Spy — or rather, Detective vs. Detective — when Maizie and Nash realize they're both tailing the same subject for very different reasons. Can Maizie out-investigate Nash to learn the secrets he's probing into at her father's company?   Secrets she fears are much darker (and stinkier) than the secret DeerNose formula.   Secrets possibly related to old rivalries and a recent murder.   Her relationship is on the line, but it's more than her heart at stake. Her career rests on this case. And there's a killer at large. One who will do anything to keep dark secrets from getting dragged into the light.   Order 19 Criminals today and find out why readers call the Maizie Albright series "tremendously entertaining" and "a great combination of mystery, comedy, and a little romance."   "Maizie never fails to entertain!

AN OLD FRIEND MURDERED AND A NEW FRIEND IN JEOPARDY Fans of romantic comedy mysteries, like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum and Meg Cabot's Size 12 series, grab this seventh book in The Wall Street Journal bestselling series and learn why Maizie Albright's cases are "raucous and addictive reads" full of "twists, turns, romantic tension, humor, and fast quips!"   "A mixture of adventure, mystery, and romcom. So like Hollywood, you'll never figure out what is real and what is make-believe until you reach the end." — Laura's Interests   #DisguisedDetectiving Maizie Albright might have once played a (teenage) private investigator on TV, but she's now living the part. Her (mother's) name is on her business cards. Her (boss's) appointment book is brimming with new clients. And her bank account has grown large enough to finally trade in her dirt bike for an actual new (pre-owned) vehicle.   And then there's Wyatt Nash. Love of her life. Future father of her…   Hey, now...   And then there's Wyatt Nash. Future partner in her business. Because currently, Nash is working for her father. Not for a private investigation business that's waiting for Nash to get out of the red so he and Maizie can get on with…   Just what, Maizie isn't so sure.   But she is sure about one thing. She's ready to take on her own cases. To prove to (herself) her friends and family, she's more than just a (washed-up actress) assistant private eye. And when Maizie finds her costume designer friend killed during a masquerade gala, it's the opportunity Maizie hoped she'd never get. An investigation into an old friend's murder. One that's put her new friend, Rhonda, in jeopardy.   While the police begin their inquiries, Maizie starts her own case. She's needling Black Pine's wealthy do-gooders, threading through lies, stitching together clues, and ripping out false leads. Her investigation may cost Maizie her job, her relationships, and her life. But by unspooling the truth, Maizie's darned if they stop her from catching a killer who's sew evil, it's shear madness.   The Maizie Albright Star Detective series: 15 MINUTES 16 MILLIMETERS NC-17 A VIEW TO A CHILL 17.5 CARTRIDGES IN A PEAR TREE 18 CALIBER 18 1/2 DISGUISES 19 CRIMINALS 20 CARATS    Other amateur sleuth mystery series by Larissa Reinhart: A Cherry Tucker Mystery Finley Goodhart Crime Capers   "Maizie's interior observations and clever banter continue throughout the series, especially at her lowest moments.

Her heart or her life?    "A fabulous story. I loved the craziness of Maizie and her family."— A Chick Who Reads    "The characters are fantastic, hilarious and well developed.
