FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
15 Minutes by Larissa Reinhart was a fun book to read. I was almost always left wondering what crazy thing Maizie was going to do next. She was always doing or saying crazy things that would get on my nerves from time to time. As I was listening to the story Maizie would do something crazy and I would always wonder how she always managed to mess just about everything up. As the book went on and on I wished she would have just shut up for a few minutes so that she wasn’t always making everything even worse. I did love that this book wasn’t intense and it made me laugh quite a bit even though it isn’t a comedy book. I also really enjoyed the narrator in this book and the author. I know that I will for sure be listening to more books that this narrator read because I loved her voice. With everything going on in the world right now I chose this book because it is a light hearted story and was able to give me a world to escape into when I need a break from my life for a little while. If you love mystery books but aren’t wanting to read anything that is intense I would pick this one up because in the end it was a super fun book to listen to.

She played a detective on TV, but now that her life depends on it, can Maizie Albright play a detective for real?
For fans of romantic comedy mysteries like Meg Cabot’s Size 12 Is Not Fat and Stephanie Bond’s Body Movers, The Wall Street Journal best-selling author Larissa Reinhart brings her listeners 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 best-selling 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 a private detective – the person she played during the happiest days of her life?
Maybe because…
First: She’s got 10 days to get and keep the job.
Second: She has to convince the only private investigator in town to hire her.
Third: She lost the client’s wife on the first day. (And the woman may be dead…)
Fourth: 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?
