“The mystery and detective cases drive the story, but Larissa Reinhart’s characters steal the show every time.”

— The Girl with Book Lungs

"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

"Hollywood glitz meets backwoods grit in this fast-paced ride on D-list celeb Maizie Albright's waning star. Sassy, Sexy, and Fun."

~ Phoebe Fox, author of the Breakup Doctor series

“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

“The Maizie we meet at the beginning of this novel is not the woman who emerges at the end, and that is where the author excels. 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.”

— Cynthia Chow, Kings River Life Magazine

Maizie Albright Star Detective series

Ex-teen TV and reality star, Maizie Albright, returns home to Black Pine, Georgia, determined to start a new career as a private investigator, modeled after her childhood starring role as a "Julie Pinkerton, Teen Detective.” Unfortunately, Maizie's chosen mentor, Wyatt Nash of Nash Security Solutions, is not a willing teacher and her learning curve includes becoming her own person after spending a life under the thumb of managers, directors, and producers, particularly her stage-monster mother.
