THE TROUBLE WITH PERFECT
By Christy E. Barritt

Morgan Blake is going to a book signing in a quaint little town. There she hopes to find some peace and quiet and get over her boyfriend, Tyler, and her writer's block.
She finds Perfect, West Virginia and a whole lot of trouble. Deeply shaken by hitting a man with her car, Morgan can't find any pleasure in the lovely village.
The man she hit ran off. She heard someone screaming in the night. The dent in her car disappeared. The sheriff thinks she imagined the whole thing.
On the up side, the wealthy, handsome Mayor is flirting with her. Her book signing went beautifully and, if she really is imagining things, then maybe that means she can write again.
Christy Barritt has written an eerie little thriller with enough twists to fill a backwoods' mountain road. She keeps the tension high and the characters fresh, which kept me turning the pages.
The Trouble With Perfect was perfect, spooky fun.

The trouble was I couldn't put it down!!!!! It held my interest from beginning to end.

Writer Morgan Blake is asked to come to a bookstore in Perfect to sign her latest book. She feels that would also be a great opportunity to get away and see if she can cure her writer's block. On her way there, she hits a man who ran in front of her car. Before he runs into the woods he mouths the word "Help"!

Everyone in Perfect is very nice and helpful. (especially Gavin Antoine, Mayor of Perfect). But something kind of gives Morgan the creeps. Strange things are occuring but she chalks it up to being stressed lately and worried about the man she hit.

She calls her friend Tyler (who's a detective and whom she is VERY interested in) to let him know where she is and that she is alright. She is just about to tell Tyler about the man she hit when the line went dead.

She is unsure who she can trust. They ALL seem so nice but... something is just not right.

This was a fun and erie read. You were never sure what was going to happen around the next corner. I guarantee that if you start you will have a hard time putting it down. Great job.

I also recommend her book Hazardous Duty.
