This book is the perfect combination of quirky characters, mystery/comedy, and romance. I love Riley’s storyline and her starting to accept her psychic abilities and really see what she is able to do as we continue to follow her life. This was just as good as the first novel in the series and I’m already looking forward to picking up the third book! Super fun read overall!

Thank you to NetGalley and BloomBooks for the eARC!

Fun read! Lucy Score is one of my favorite romance authors and I’m LOVING Riley thorn! Books are a little long, but fun reads and keep you entertained.

First off, I am one of Score's biggest fans. Her books are the best. But.... Everyone does have a bad egg here and there and this is definitely it. This one could not get over fast enough. There is only so much unpredictability that I can handle. It was too over the top. I like a clumsy, quirky woman now and then that is down on her luck that catches the eye of the sec man, but this one was just too much for me. This one was a pass for me. It was too childishly written. I would have guessed it would have been one of her first novels.

I rated this three stars. I did not DNF it and do plan on finishing the series but this was definitely a read it and then instantly forget for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bloom Books publishing for the advance copy of the this re-release rom-com for my honest opinions.

Such a fun escape from reality. I enjoyed reading this book and it felt like watching a sitcom. Thank you Lucy for once again showing me why I love you with these funny reads of yours.

Love this book!! Riley is the best!! And Nick…🔥🔥🔥🔥 I love the back and forth pov’s. Her housemates crack me up!! I caught myself laughing out loud at various conversations and situations throughout this whole series. Can’t wait to read the next book!!

I really enjoyed this book, it was everything I could have wanted in one book. The banter is awesome, the humor was fantastic and the book was very entertaining. I literally laughed out loud reading this I love that there is a mystery, romance and humor in this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

The Corpse in the Closet is book 2 in a series by Lucy Score. Definitely read book 1 before jumping into this one (I did not and wish I had read in order). This was still an enjoyable, hilarious read regardless of knowing the background context. The background characters definitely steal the show in this one and I cannot wait to read more of this series.

Fans of Finlay Donovan and Four Aunties will enjoy this one if they like a little romance in their funny mysteries!

Highly recommended.

I love a Lucy Score romance but a Lucy Score mystery romance is *chefs kiss*. This book is so fun, I loved this continuation of the story with Riley and Nick and the introduction of Riley’s serious grandma to this quirky cast of characters definitely added a little pizazz. Can’t wait to read the next one!

Once again Lucy hits a home run. A fun over the top romp of a mystery. A neighborhood anyone would want to live in with the best neighbors.

Truthfully, this series can get a bit overwhelming. There are so many characters!! I think if I continue the series I’ll have to do better at keeping track. I find myself putting it down and waiting days to pick it back up because the chaos gets to be too much.

The story is fun and quirky, but for the length of it, I think all the characters throw me off.

Thanks so much NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for the eARC.

This is only my second book by this author but it was really spectacular! I’ve been a fantasy phase lately but I put them all down for this book!

Previously, I had only read Lucy Score's Knockemout series. When I first got this particular book, I was unaware it was a series, and decided to read the 1st book first, which I suggest for anyone wanting to read this one. There are definitely ties that you will not understand in The Corpse in the Closet if you don't read The Dead Guy Next Door. Anyways - this was a great read. I love the "rom-com" meets crime feel of this book, and while there's not a whole lot of spice, I felt like it was a good amount given what this book was about. I love the relationship between Riley & Nick, and I also really enjoy Lucy Score's writing style - it flows well and really keeps me hooked. Although I'm more of a "thriller" fan than this kind of crime novel, I really did enjoy this book, and will definitely read the others in the RIley Thorn series. Also Gabe has to be one of the best characters there is.

Thank you NetGalley for this arc!

We follow a psychic named Riley and her boyfriend, PI Nick trying to help a homicide detective figure out who murdered a well dressed corpse in the closet, on top of facing her grandmother who’s trying to make her take her powers seriously or deal with the consequences.

I’m giving this book a higher 3.5/4⭐️

It wasn’t the five star feeling for me but it still had me hooked. I love murder mysteries and romance on their own but combine them? absolutely. Our female MC is also psychic? The whole little “found family” vibe I got with all their roommates? The vibes were just immaculate and not to mention hilarious - I cannot say how many times I laughed out loud at penny or Fred. And Burt?? God I love that dog LOL

The mystery aspect wasn’t anything crazy for me but I will say - I was interested just to know what would happen next, it was such an easy read and just fulfilling all around.

I loved the romance in it as well, I’ve been rooting for Nick + Riley since book one and it just made me so giddy and happy, I’m glad everything worked out for them🫶🏼

The structure and the writing of this book was also done really well, I've always been a fan of lucy score books and this was just one of those that was so easy to read. I breezed through it without missing a single thing, the characters are so lovable and the plot is always interesting - keeping me on my toes

With all that said, I will definitely be reading the next book in the series because it seems I cannot get enough

Trying really hard to be a Lucy score fan this series almost has me as a fan I like the mystery of it but the spice is a little to much but I’ll definitely read the next book.

I read the 1st 3 books of this series out of order. I didn’t have any problems with following the story so they can be considered stand alone. I love to see what antics everyone gets up to, it’s similar to the Stephanie plum series but with psychics. Can’t wait for the next adventure. #TheCorpseintheCloset #NetGalley

This is the second installment of the Riley Thorn series and it was just as great as the first one. It was filled with LOL moments. It was highly entertaining and left me wanting (not in bad way). I am very excited for the next installment.

The Corpse in the Closet by Lucy Score is a romantic mystery/thriller book - the second book in the RIley Thorn series. A psychic meets a private investigator and that gives a new definition to the mystery genre. Murder mystery infused with humour and romance makes the book quite the interesting read. I had to buy the first book in the series to understand this one and I immediately bought the next book because I wanted more of Riley Thorn and her hot boyfriend. Thank you, Netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for giving me the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

4.5/5 stars

The Corpse In The Closet is the second book in the Riley Thorn series. This is a cozy mystery series with romance.

Each book features it's own mystery. So this could be read as a standalone. However you get so much backstory from the first book. So I would definitely read them in order.

Riley comes from a family of psychics (which I adore). I really liked how she is now using her psychic abilities to help solve cases. I absolutely love characters who have visions, can talk to dead people, or who can read minds.

The romance in this book is so fun. I really like Nick and his job as a PI really works well for the series. We also got to see a lot more of Riley's grandmother, who is

Each book starts in a precarious situation (for the first chapter). And then the author goes back a week or two to show us how the characters ended up there. This isn't my favorite. But it is always interesting to see how things play out to get to that point.

The cases in this edition were really enjoyable. And I really enjoy this crazy cast of characters.

Overall this is such a fun series. And wow that ending was amazing! I cannot wait to read the next book.

Can Lucy score do any wrong? This book delivered and I was here for every second of it. What a fun read!
