A tender slice-of-life story blending wit, heart and community with giving life –and love – a second chance!

The last thing Steph expected in her forties was to be reinventing everything. Divorced, suddenly unemployed and juggling single parenthood, she’s learning that starting over is messier – and braver – than she imagined.

Nate’s life has been knocked off course by his mother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Moving back into her house to help has strained his relationship and career.

The local laughter workshop should have been light relief. Instead, a clumsy scooter mishap brings them crashing into each other – literally – and sparks a tentative connection neither of them saw coming. What follows is a warm, funny, deeply human story about friendship, small kindnesses and the slow, surprising work of falling in love again when life has already taught you so much.

Critic Reviews

Praise for The Mudlarkers' Club'A warm and uplifting read, packed with loveable characters you can’t help but root for’ Kate Storey
'An emotional and uplifting story, following a delightful group of characters – the Mudlarkers – as they search the riverbed for forgotten treasures, making new friends and changing their lives along the way. You won’t look at the Thames in the same way again’ Elissa Soave
‘[Riley] gives us this feel-good foray into the “treasures” buried on the banks of the River Thames’ The Sunday Post
