About this listen

A nice, normal life. Is that too much to ask? For Riley Thorn it is.

Divorced. Broke. Living with a pack of elderly roommates. And those hallucinations she’s diligently ignoring? Her tarot card-dealing mom is convinced they’re clairvoyant visions.

Just when things can’t get worse, a so-hot-it-should-be-illegal private investigator shows up on her doorstep looking for a neighbor...who turns up murdered.

Nick Santiago doesn’t play well with others. Unless the “others” are of the female persuasion. Wink. He’s a rebel, a black sheep, a man who prefers a buffet of options to being stuck with the same entrée every night, if you catch his drift.

When the pretty, possibly psychic Riley lands at the top of the list of suspects, Nick volunteers to find out whodunit. Only because he likes solving mysteries not because he wants to flex his heroic muscles for the damsel in distress.

All they have to do is figure out who pulled the trigger, keep the by-the-book detective with a grudge at bay, and deal with a stranger claiming he was sent to help Riley hone her psychic gifts. All before the killer discovers she’s a loose end that requires snipping.

Another excellent listen! I was not sure I was going to enjoy this series, but was hooked right from the start and downloaded the other two before I was even halfway through this one.

Fantastic!

This was a fun and saucy narrative with really enjoyable characters. I love the tone and vocal skills of the narrator too. One I look forward to listening too again in time when I have forgotten parts of the story.

I loved the crazy household Riley lived in.
I liked the way she cared for them all, even the dead guy next door.
How Nick managed to stay sane in such a zany bunch, shows his brave character.

I have only recently discovered Lucy Score’s books, but what a find. This book is my favourite so far. Quirky characters, some absolute laugh out loud bits and just an overall fun and enjoyable read/listen. And I LOVE Natalie Duke’s narration! Thanks for bringing the characters to life!
Can’t wait for the next book in the series to come to Audible!
