The Dead Guy Next Door by Lucy Score
5.0
Y’all, why didn’t I start reading this series sooner??? It has made me cackle so, so much. I found the first two books to be especially bingeable.
Life should be easier than this.
Really.
Riley Thorn finds herself divorced, single, strapped for cash, working a soul-sucking job, and living on the third floor of a mansion that has both seen better days and is filled with residents decades older than herself. As if all of that wasn’t enough of a kick-in-the-pants, she keeps getting psychic flashes and visions about the people around her.
And, oh yeah, one of her housemates just ended up dead.
Nick Santiago rarely encounters a situation he can’t charm his way out of (or a lady he can’t charm the pants off of). Originally sent to serve papers to Riley Thorn’s now unalived housemate, he’s since been hired to track down the killer. And that attractive, eligible psychic (Riley) that lives across the hall from the victim may just be the woman he needs in his bed for the rest of his life—ummm…I mean the woman he needs to help him crack the case.
Few authors can make me laugh out loud the way Lucy Score can. I giggled, snickered, and cackled my way through this book. From the antics of the elderly housemates to the eccentricities of Riley’s family to the outrageousness of her ex and the banter between Riley and Nick, I was cracking up.
I also loved the chemistry between Riley and Nick, the found family aspects of the novel, and the oneupmanship/competitiveness between Nick and Riley’s spiritual advisor, Gabe.
What a fun start to the series!
I received a copy of the ebook from Bloom Books. All review opinions my own.
