"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

​

#WannabeDetective 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 a private detective—the character she played during the happiest days of her life?

Maybe because…

She's got 10 days to get and keep the job.

She has to convince the only private investigator in town to hire her.

She lost the client's wife on the first day. (And the woman may be dead...)

She just might be falling in love with her new boss. And she just might have lost him his business.

​

But what has she got to lose, other than imprisonment, her dignity, and possibly, her life?
