From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over comes the second book in the hilarious and riveting Riley Thorn series: a zany and compelling contemporary romance with a head-scratching mystery to solve. For Riley Thorn and her detective boyfriend Nick Santiago, solving a string of murder cases is a piece of cake compared to gaining the approval of certain family members. But when the killer targets her next, she's in for way more than an awkward family dinner. First, her disapproving grandmother arrives determined to make Riley take her powers seriously or face the wrath of "the Guild." Then there's the homicide detective who needs her help figuring out who murdered the well-dressed corpse in the walk-in closet. Nick's got his own hands full with a tricky missing person case and his parents, who want to know why he didn't tell them about his live-in girlfriend. Then there's the fact that he's still the tiniest bit stressed about Riley almost getting murdered earlier that summer. The last thing he wants is her getting involved in another investigation. Things go from bad to worse when the body count starts stacking up, the meet-the-parents dinner goes horribly wrong, and their elderly roommate is up to no good…dressed like a mime. To top it off, Riley is forced to return to Channel 50 on official police business to question her spray-tanned news anchor ex-husband and his new weather girl fiancée. The trouble comes to a head when Riley receives a warning from the killer: Back off, or she's next. Someone has to solve these murders before she becomes the next corpse.
