Okay, this was a blast to read. The Corpse In the Closet was funny, smart and addictive. I flew through this book so fast. Riley is a psychic who gets pulled into a crazy murder investigation. Her boyfriend Nick does not want her to work on this murder case and he's busy with his own mystery. Things go horribly wrong in all aspects of their lives. They have to find a way to survive their family and relationship drama as well as surviving literally. This story was whacky, crazy and I loved it.

Lucy score is a great relaxing cozy romance and a dash of mystery who dunnit is just the cherry on top of everything... I really should pick up more of her books

I love Riley Thorn and Nick Santiago with their distinctive personalities as an investigative duo and a happy couple. The humor, especially the one-liners, adds so much entertainment value as does the wonderful cast of secondary characters including Riley's grandmother, Nick's parents, and of course Daisy the cow and Burt the dog. Perfect for fans of cozies and Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series.

Lucy Score is an all around amazing writer.
Hilarious, witty. Mystery AND romance? Absolutely

Score always manages to write characters with so much chemistry that has me giggling. If you love banter, this one may be for you.

I did struggle with how LONG it is. Wow I was not expecting that. I mean I came here from the Knockemout series which was also pretty long, but the length in The Corpse in the Closet resulted in some drag. The humour did make up for it.

Lucy Score is an auto-buy author for me, and I will highly recommend anything she writes. *swoons*

I love Lucy Score's books and her Riley Thorn series is so much fun. There are a lot of adventures and laughs along the way with the main character Riley and her boyfriend Nick as they work to solve a murder. Of course, they encounter many bumps as they investigate. It's a funny, and entertaining story.

The writing is great, and the humor is plentiful. The romance takes a bit of a backseat in this story especially compared to some of the author's other books. Overall, I enjoyed the book and recommend it.

Thank you to NetGally and Sourcebooks for the ARC!

It was fun to return to this crew and their shenanigans. I wonder if Riley's luck will ever turn around lol. I do love the bumbling though.

Thank you NetGalley and Bloom Books for the opportunity to read this eARC.

This is now my second book from Lucy Score and I am absolutely obsessed with her writing!!! I love this series and I can’t wait to read the rest of them!

Thank you to NetGalley and Lucy Score for a free ebook in exchange for an honest review!

Rating: 3.75 / 5 Stars

This was such a fun read! I really enjoyed the mystery vibe through it all, and the comedic relief was great.

Lucy Score is an interesting writer for me.

The wittiness and writing prose is really fun to read. Lucy Scores books are very fun and easy to get engrossed in. Sometimes, I struggle with the characters. I know many people love them, but they don't fit my preference as well and can sometimes be difficult to root for. This book was a lot like that. That being said, everyone can appreciate the super fun read with clever writing and witty banter.

It wasn't for me but rated it higher because that is a personal preference, not a statement of quality.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

The second book in the Riley series. Her grandmother wants to know why she doesn't take her psychic powers seriously. She also has to deal with her ex and his new gf. Her private investigator bf has to deal with romantic questions from his parents who REALLY wants to meet her. Add murder on top of that and it's a busy time for Riley.

Lots of fun moments. I really like Riley and Nick. Terrific characters and zany plot. Love this series and it just better with each book.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Riley Thorne is a psychic with a handsome PI boyfriend. This is a cozy mystery with a bit of spice. There’s a serial killer and tons of love able side characters that kept my interest

New favorite series alert!

Once again, Lucy Score has written a joyful novel starring Riley Thorn. The reluctant psychic, with a knack for stumbling upon dead bodies and a hot PI boyfriend, is the star of the show, but all of the side characters are just as quirky and wonderful. From octogenarian badass Mrs. Penny to the gentle giant maybe-human Gabe (who just wants to eat ice cream) to the over-the-top psychic grandma Elanora, each character elevates the story and adds to the sheer ridiculousness.

There's a serial killer. There are glitter bombs. There are terrible human beings. There is, of course, a dog named Burt with horrific farts. And throughout it all, Riley and Nick develop their relationship and grow in their love for each other. They may never be able to have sex, but they love deeply and fiercely, which adds gravitas the story.

I will say that this story is NOT a romance; I would dub this a cozy mystery with romantic (and romantasy) elements. If you are expecting a typical Lucy Score romance, this isn't it. But that doesn't stop this from being pure fun.

Thank you NetGalley and publishers for a ecopy of Corpse in the Closet by Lucy Score.

Unfortunately I dnf at 65%. (My first ever DNF)I have similar thoughts on the characters in this book to the knockemout series, and that is that they are so very childish. And unlike knockemout, Corpse doesn’t have the broody appeal of Knox and Lucien to keep me going.

The Mmc was just plain irritating and boring. We get it, Riley has nice boobs and you’re always horny. I don’t need to read it every few paragraphs when they’re together. And to top it off you’re trying to convince me he’s a successful PI but he gives off freshman who should be working at a Dairy Queen 🫣

This was just a big miss all around for me and has me wondering if I actually like Lucy Score or just the visuals from a couple of her characters.

This book wasn't for me. I didn't really connect with the characters. I found this book to be slow. It took me a long time to get through it. I finally finished and was ready to move on to something else.

This is such a fun series! It’s romance with mystery, comedy, and psychics. The characters are all so unique and entertaining. I can’t wait to keep reading this series

I really enjoyed this book! For me it was the perfect pace and kept me interested the whole time! Loved alllllll the characters. Thanks Netgalley and to the publisher.

I freaking love Lucy Score for giving us the absolute delight that is Riley Thorn!

I really enjoyed the plot of this book. I loved all the quirky twists and turns as Riley, Nick and the whole whacky cast of friends and family tried to figure out what was going on and how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together. At times I was literally laughing out loud at the insanity. I don’t know how Lucy does it but she creates such a wild and vivid storyline! 🤩

I have enjoyed this series! It’s romance with comedy, mystery, and psychics! I can’t wait to read the next one! Thank you NetGalley for the chance to review!

My thanks to NetGalley for making an eARC of this book available to me.

Highly entertaining, this book is just as much fun as the previous one. By turns hilarious, frenetic, and crazy. The families of both Riley and Nick are equally insane, as are her octogenarian next door neighbors and their co-workers. Lots of laughs, lots of fun.

Absolutely loved it!! Anything by Lucy Score is always a good read. Never a let down! A little long but enjoyed it suggest to any and all readers!
