The Body in the Backyard is a romantic mystery novel by bestselling author Lucy Score. It is the fourth book in the Riley Thorn series, following amateur psychic detective Riley Thorn as her self-absorbed news anchor ex-husband Griffin Gentry unexpectedly shows up at her door begging for help.

When a dead body makes it clear someone really is out to get Riley's ex, the mile-long suspect list means all hands on deck at Santiago Investigations. Riley must block out the chaos to focus her psychic visions long enough to narrow down the suspects before Griffin's bad karma becomes the downfall of them all.
