Riley Thorn and the Corpse in the Closet
Riley Thorn and the Corpse in the Closet | Lucy Score
7 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
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 fiance. 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.

I truly wanted to prolong this for a bit longer, but in this crazy world the RileyThorn Mysteries have become my favorite escape.

It was fun continuing the journey with these wacky characters. I love this series, I really hope this goes on for many books...although I don't know when I can go and add the next one to my library. Thankfully, I have the first four in this series.

And good thing, because this completed on a grand cliffhanger!

AnnCrystal I didn't catch the killer, but did guess correctly about where one of the bodies was hidden. And I knew what an abandoned house next door would be perfect for...took Nick long enough!

I loved all the main characters in the first book, and they have all returned along with some new ones for this second installment.

This mystery had more moving parts than the first book. There are some warnings ⚠️📚 that I will hide in an ending comment.

AnnCrystal The third book in this series is one of my give ups on my Lent list. Which means I can't even read the sample for book three that was given at the back of this book! And this did have a splendid cliffhanger!

I do want to prolong this series and keep these characters a part of my life for as long as possible, so this 40 day spacing will help with that goal.

Good news, the character Weber should have an even larger role in book three 🤞🏼.

AnnCrystal 1- Mentions of a past suicide, along with a hint about this suicide in a vision.

2- Mentions of bullying.

3- The personality shaping the above two had on the murderer-character.

Andrew65 Sounds excellent. Well done 🎉🎊🎉 3d
AnnCrystal Thank You @Andrew65 🥳👌🏼🪄📚💫. 3d
TheSpineView Hikes a cliffhanger!! 😲 3d
AnnCrystal @TheSpineView an epic one! I'm a rare reader who actually loves a good cliffhanger...especially if I have the next book 😂.

While each has had a mystery that wraps up by the end, the next book seems to continue right where the last one leaves off...which is in a dramatic closing scene.

Characters Weber and Nick have a mystery from their past that the reader has been given hints about since the beginning. This book ends giving a huge revelation.

I often become irritated with Nick Santiago's immature character, yet I also can't help but find it hilarious when he seems like the only responsible adult...😂📚💝.

I'm enjoying that the character, Weber is more weaved into this second book...he is the police detective that Riley is consulting for.

Thanks for the tag @Mavey
#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

- 'Birthday Girl' by Penelope Douglas. It's a romance between Jordan & her boyfriend's father. I decided to read it more out of curiosity than interest, because of how much relationships with age differences like that are frowned upon.

-Toffee Cappuccino (yup, I've got the preferences of a child)

-2nd book of the Riley Thorn series! I enjoyed the 1st one too much
Wanna play? @DarkMina
