Jon Bradshaw needs a girlfriend stat. When he convinces Darcy Walker to be his wingman at a speed-dating event, one debacle leads to another, and before you know it, they’re the proud new owners of a dead body. Problem is, the body has a tie to Darcy…making her a person of interest in a murder.

Things quickly jump from bad to worse when someone hijacks the name of Darcy’s alter ego, framing “Jester” in a Hitchcock-like blend of crimes that leaves her head spinning.

In FOOLPROOF, Darcy battles an adversary who tests her IQ while she navigates the daunting worries of a high school senior. Add on the emotional fallout of her latest caper, a cop breathing down her neck, and a hot but stubborn boyfriend, and she’s at her wit’s end.

Can she find her zen and unmask the real murderer? Or get used to a life of prison orange?

This is the fifth book in the Darcy Walker Series.  I highly suggest you read them in order since they follow Darcy through high school.  These are Young Adult books.   This has quickly become my favorite YA series.  Is it bad I hope my daughter has a “Darcy” personality when she’s that age? 

Darcy will have you laughing out loud a lot.  I may have even teared up at the end because of Principal Unger.  A.J. Lape has a way with her writing that will suck you right into Darcyville.

This book is Darcy’s senior year.  Of course it’s a “normal” year for her.  But far from what others would consider normal.

True to Darcy fashion, it starts with a dead body, or two. 

Darcy is a modern day Nancy Drew but with a twist and that twist is ADHD.

I loved reading this.  I can’t wait for the next book to see which path she will take.  She has so many opportunities!  She will do great things.

Of course this review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Dylan.  I feel like a perv crushing on him.  He and Darcy are still going strong!

A.J. Lape is the author of the Darcy Walker Series which has stayed on Amazon's teen's mysteries and thrillers bestseller's lists since its debut in 2012. She lives in Cincinnati with her husband, two daughters, an ADD dog, a spoiled hamster, and an unapologetic and unrepentant addiction to Coca-Cola--plus a lifelong love affair with bacon she has no plans to sever.

A graduate of Morehead State University with a Master's degree in Communications, she's a PI wannabe and recently joined the Citizen's Police Academy in her hometown but daily stops crime and kills bad people through the fictional ADHD character of Darcy Walker.

If the FBI ever checks her computer, she'll be wearing prison-orange due to the graphic and disgusting "wiki" articles she looks up...all in the name of career research, of course.
