Riley Thorn and the Dead Guy Next Door

Cameryn Wright

Riley Thorn is living as normal a life as anyone can with an assortment of quirky elderly people living in her building and a desire to ignore her abilities as a psychic.  Divorce has left her broke and her job is the definition of boring until private investigator Nick Santiago comes to her apartment looking for her across-the-hall neighbor who turns out to have been murdered.  Because Riley had a vision that her neighbor would be killed and tried to tell the police, she becomes the only suspect.  However, Nick believes she's innocent and decides to help her with hilarious results.

Riley Thorn and the Dead Guy Next Door is a rollicking good time novel filled with quirky characters, action, adventure, and romance.  Even though Nick is a die hard womanizer, he still comes off as sympathetic and Riley is just a bundle of fun.  The book introduces many characters and lots of events that have nothing to do with the main mystery, but they are still humorous, each in their own way.  The mystery is completely implausible, but still manages to include twists and turns that ramp up the entertainment factor of the plot.  Overall, Riley Thorn and the Dead Guy Next Door is just about as much enjoyment as can be packed into one novel.  I'm looking forward to reading more in the series.

I got this book months ago when it was on sale, but only got around to reading it now. It was delightful! Just great characters, a good mystery, and lots of fun. Definitely going to grab book 2 of what I hope will be a series.

It was okay. Took me a while to get through it but enjoyed the last 40% of the book. The first 60 were a pain tbh. Will probably read the sequel somewhen but again it’s not the best
