“Christy Barritt’s novel, Hazardous Duty, is a delightful read from beginning to end. The story’s fresh, engaging heroine with an unusual occupation hooked me, and I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend Hazardous Duty.” (Colleen Coble, best-selling author)

"Captivating, entertaining, and downright funny, this book will keep you reading until the satisfying ending. Unique characters capture your heart and have you rooting for them from the beginning. Gabby St. Claire is truly a breath of fresh air." (Susan Sleeman, The Christian Suspense Zone)

"The next time you're tempted to watch CSI reruns, read this book instead! Spunky, sassy Gabby St. Claire sparkles in this new series. She'll keep you turning the pages." (Siri Mitchell, best-selling author)

"In this witty novel, chick lit meets mystery in the show-tune singing Gabby, creating a fun whodunit where you just don't know who killed the woman or which guy you like for the heroine. There's the changeable Detective Parker or the sweet guy-next-door-with-a-secret Riley for Gabby, and who but the would-be Senator husband would want the murder victim dead? Hazardous Duty will take you on a ride through twists, turns, quirks, acorn brownies, and spiritual questions that keep Gabby guessing. She's a character you're guaranteed to love, and the plot is entertaining and fast paced." (Roseanna White, Christian Review of Books)

Delightfully funny characters

I really like this story as the main character reflects what most people in this world believe about God. However, the witness of Christian characters in the novel convince her to give God a second look. That is what we are all called to do; shine His light so others may see.

A page turner you can't put down

I read a lot of mysteries and it is a lot of fun when it can be weaved with humor and lovable characters. I have to read more about her struggle with God, her passion for truth, and to find out answers about her father and brother. I look forward to the next visit with this cozy mystery series.

Lighthearted feel good book

I love mysteries, and this one had action & adventure coupled with great humor. I also enjoyed the unfolding journey of Gabby’s view on God & the thought processes along the way because people do often doubt God when they’ve been through the traumas of life—the love & truth from others will help them come to a place of faith, just as a couple of the characters helped Gabby.
This was an easy read that was very enjoyable.

Another’s review

Someone had written they could not finish this book because it’s blasphemous. She or he should have finished the book to read the message it holds.
