Why I’m Excited

I discovered Lucy Score one day at Target. I was having a not great day and Target had books on sale. I was drawn by the cover of Riley Thorn book 1 (The Dead Guy Next Door) so in my cart it went. I could not put it down. I adored it and then proceeded to gobble up the rest of the series. These books are funny and steamy and mysterious and the absolute best thing to read. I love Riley and Nick and Burt and Riley’s family and her mansion roommates…I’m sorry, I meant aunts and uncles. So I can’t wait for more!

From the Publisher

Her self-absorbed news anchor ex-husband careening back into her life was not on this amateur psychic detective’s bingo card.Not only does Griffin Gentry show up unexpectedly at Riley Thorn’s door—the real shock is that he’s begging her for help. Riley’s hot private investigator boyfriend Nick Santiago refusing to take the job is…well, less of a surprise.Too bad for Nick that his octogenarian business partner overrules him and takes the lead on Griffin’s case. But when a dead body makes it clear someone really is out to get Riley’s ex, the mile-long suspect list means all hands on deck at Santiago Investigations. Even the wrinkly, retired ones.It’s only a matter of time before Griffin brings the danger directly to their doorstep. And with Riley and Nick busy interviewing suspects, that leaves their elderly roommates to wreak havoc in the surveillance department. Can Riley block out the chaos to focus her psychic visions long enough to narrow down the list of suspects? Or will Griffin Gentry’s bad karma be the downfall of them all?
