Riley Thorn is Lucy Score’s take on mixing romance with mystery. Riley is a woman who discovers she has psychic abilities, which is inconvenient enough before dead bodies start showing up in her life. Partnered with a charming private investigator, she stumbles into crime-solving while trying to figure out her own powers.

The series is lighter in tone than a traditional mystery, leaning heavily on humor and the growing relationship between Riley and her PI partner. It is a good pick for readers who want their romance with a side of whodunit.
