Why read it?

1 author picked Riley Thorn and the Dead Guy Next Door as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Lucy Score is fast becoming a household name in the romance world, but her Riley Thorn series is not… yet.

This is book 1 in the series that follows Riley, a reluctant psychic who sees ghosts whether she wants to or not, and her private investigator love interest. After reading this I quickly bought and read books 2 and 3 and am waiting for the release of book 4 (coming in 2024).

What is my book about?

A story you'll never forget about survival, forgiveness, healing, and love.

Twenty years ago. A plane crash. Three women survivors are inexorably connected by fate, destiny, and a cause. 

Julie Geiger, a flight attendant, told five sets of parents to place their babies on the floor of the plane when it was going down. Now, she must live with the consequences. Will changing the emergency rules bring her healing and forgiveness? And where does love fit into her life now?

Marie Stanley lost her baby boy on that flight. And she knows exactly who to blame. Julie. The problem is that vindictiveness festers. And eats into your soul. How will Marie learn to move past her hate and save her marriage in the process?

Paige Montgomery, the lap baby who survived the flight, would love to forget it ever happened. After all, she’s happy. And she’s on the cusp of a new relationship. How will she learn to forge her own path, one that integrates all the elements of her past, including the crash, the loss of her parents, and her subsequent adoption?
