From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over
Summer is heating up for reluctant psychic Riley Thorn and her handsome private investigator boyfriend, Nick Santiago.
First, her disapproving grandmother arrives determined to make Riley take her powers seriously or face the wrath of "the Guild." Then there's the homicide detective who needs her help figuring out who murdered the well-dressed corpse in the walk-in closet.
Nick's got his own hands full with a tricky missing person case and his parents who want to know why he didn't tell them about his live-in girlfriend. Then there's the fact that he's still the tiniest bit stressed about Riley almost getting murdered earlier that summer. The last thing he wants is her getting involved in another investigation.
Things go from bad to worse when the body count starts stacking up, the meet-the-parents dinner goes horribly wrong, and their elderly roommate is up to no good...dressed like a mime.
To top it off, Riley is forced to return to Channel 50 on official police business to question her spray-tanned news anchor ex-husband and his new weather girl fiancée.
The trouble comes to a head when Riley receives a warning from the killer: Back off or she's next. Someone has to solve these murders before she becomes the next corpse.

Very good. Full of surprises and laughs The antics of the mansion residents is as entertaining as the suspense and mysteries
Another great Riley Thorn book! My favorite character is Burt, the giant, gassy dog. Lucy Score writes him so hilariously well that it also triggered memories of my sweet dog and I started laughing so hard I was crying and my son came running into the living room to make sure I was okay! I highly recommend this book!
Lucy Score never disappoints! This book was hilarious and I can't wait to read the next one. The scene from the roof had me howling with laughter!
Tickled to read this, as I loved the first one so much and I really, really need light-hearted distraction right now (Twin Cities, mid-January—I wait a couple/few months to post to see how a book settles). Thank you, TBR lottery (and Divine intervention) :>). So, yes, lots and lots of laughs, enough hijinks, plot, mystery, psychic stuff, and a bit of sizzle (yummy Nick), even more romance to distract and soothe (at least while I was reading before going to sleep, not sure I would have been able to without it). Another for my Favorite shelf.
Cute series
