"Who knew obituaries could be this much fun?" Gretchen Archer, USA TODAYbestselling author of the Davis Way Crime Capers Meet Riley Ellison, a quirky young library assistant who has become known in her hometown of Tuttle Corner, Virginia, as Riley Bless-Her-Heart. Riley s odd habit of living vicariously through people she reads about in the obituary pages hits a little too close to home when she is asked to write one for her childhood best friend, Jordan James. Jordan's unexpected suicide has left Riley desperate to understand why a young woman with so much to live for would suddenly opt out, so she steps out of her comfort zone and into the role of obituary writer. Things get messy, however, when Jordan s co-worker, a paranoid reporter with a penchant for conspiracy theories, convinces Riley that Jordan s death was no suicide. He leads her down a dangerous path toward organized crime, secret lovers, and suspicious taco trucks. Eventually, Riley s serpentine hunt for the truth leads to a discovery that puts everything she holds dearher job, the people she loves, and even her lifein danger. Will writing this obituary be the death of her? "

A cute book. Took a little while to get into it even though I absolutely loved the first line. But I was sold as soon as Riley started explaining how librarians have masters degrees. Show love to librarians and I'm a happy reader.

I've not been reading much lately, thanks to the Unbound Book Festival. But this was a perfect way to get back in the saddle. Funny, clever, quick-moving - everything I want in a mystery novel. Highly recommended.

Liberty @angrylilasian Update: it's not. Come for the cute storyline, stay for the casual racism! 😡 8y

Blowing through this one! Stopped halfway to run to the store for my favorite chocolate treats. (Do the pastel ones taste better to anyone else?)

Megabooks Yes!! 8y

This week, I remembered why I don't read mystery/thrillers all the time. I CANNOT STOP. Or sleep. Because I can't stop.
