No Biz Like Showbiz (A Lexi Carmichael Mystery Book 4) Kindle Edition
Okay, so it's not exactly as it seems, but that's what's happening on the dating reality show called Geeks Get Some that I, geek extraordinaire Lexi Carmichael, have been called to work on. Not that I'm a fan of reality shows (I can barely deal with my own reality). Still, I've been sent to Hollywood to find a hacker who's screwing with the results of the show's online voting system.
So, what happens when I get there? Well, the producers convince me to continue my investigation from the inside. And what should be an easy hunt for the hacker turns ugly when he sets his sights on me. Add to that a studio obsessed with ratings, a bunch of nerdy contestants, and my own confusing love life, and unraveling this mystery might make me a star...or get me killed.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Lexi is one of those characters that is confident, stands up for what is right, but is also human and feels insecure and afraid just like most of us do. So, here's to the geek in all of us quirky types!! Well done!" ~GoodReads
"This was like The Big Bang Theory Meets the Bachelorette!" ~Amazon Reader
"IT IS HILARIOUS! Lexi gets put into some awkward situations at a comic book convention (instant nerd points BONUS...and let's say that our klutzy protagonist can cause some serious bodily harm no matter how hard she tries to avoid it. BONUS...Two Doctor Who References = 2 more BONUS NERD POINTS!" ~Goodreads
"Oh, I just love Lexi. She is beyond confident when it comes to her cyber skills, but navigating the social graces causes her much anxiety. Her interactions with the geek contestants are very humorous, sometimes touching and always entertaining." ~Amazon Reader
"I absolutely adore this series. If you haven't read it yet, and are a fan of smart chick lit/mystery, you are missing out on a wonderful series." ~Goodreads
"Lexi Carmichael is back helping geeks everywhere, well at least one date at a time." ~Goodreads
"I would be tempted to hack into the Amazon system and give it six stars, but that would just mess up the reporting software, which is a hint towards more of the story. Lexi continues to mature as many of us hackers have." ~Amazon Reader
"Wonderful, wonderful author. Such a great set of characters and plots....Well done Julie Moffett you have become my favorite author." ~Amazon Reader

Oh, I just love Lexi. She is beyond confident when it comes to her cyber skills, but navigating the social graces causes her much anxiety. Her interactions with the Geek contestants are very humorous, sometimes touching and always entertaining. Lexi is kind, thoughtful, and very genuine. With Lexi, what you see is what you get. She is a wonderful protagonist and has grown emotionally with each book. I’m so glad she made the romantic choice she made. I like the other two guys, but I think the man she chose will continue to challenge her to take risks—both socially and professionally.
No Biz Like Showbiz is a great addition to one of my favorite series. I knew immediately who the culprit was, then I changed my mind, and then I changed it again! (LOL) I was wrong each time. The author kept me guessing from beginning to end. I’m looking forward to Lexi’s next adventure. Happy Reading!
The only bad thing I have to say is that the editing could be improved. There are random words dispersed throughout that you can tell were the author expressing a thought and then changing her mind on wording without removing the entire sentence. Very few misspelled words, but often misused words....their vs there type issues. It seems to get worse in book 3 and continues into the next two. It just feels like the author has so many good ideas she types them in a hurry and no one helps her read through. It is too bad there's no way to highlight errors on the kindle and provide to author so the digital copies can be fixed.
Obviously the editing isn't a deal breaker, I've read all available books and anxiously await the next. If the books were $10 I would be more upset by them.
Lexi goes to Hollywood to find out who is hacking (cracking) into the voting stats of a "reality show" about nerds. While she sympathizes with the hacker to an extent, Lexi has committed to finding him so she will. THEN, he makes a BIG mistake, he brings the battle of wits directly to Lexi and her friends. Game On! Speaking of games, Lexi is manipulated onto the show. You can imagine how much she enjoys that!
I love Finn and drool over Slash who has declared his love, but I am on Team Elvis. While Lexi many not see it yet, everyone else knows that he has a big "thing" for her and that thing may be love.
This is a great summer read that will have you as always wondering if Lexi will figure out this thing called LOVE!
Looking forward to the next installment of the Lexi Carmichael Mysteries.

Unlike Lexi I am not a geek and so sometimes stuff goes way over my head but it did not stop me enjoying this book.
But I digress. I love, love, love Lexi and the series! Really happy to have found a heroine who is actually smart for a change and doesn't sputter silly nonsense every 2 seconds or do stupid things. All the characters are believable and well-developed, and the dialogue is relatable and not over-the-top. I found the book hilarious even though I don't have a background in IT or science, though I'm not sure that all readers will be able to relate. Highly recommended! Can't wait for the next one. Keep them coming Julie Moffett!
