Every mystery needs a soundtrack. These are the songs spinning in Roxy’s shop while she hunts clues, solves murders, and rewinds the good parts.

Listen to the official playlist from
Hungry Like the Sleuth.

Side A

Walking on Sunshine
For driving down Ventura Boulevard. Windows down. Perspective restored.

Jump
Perfect opener for trivia night. Also, appropriate when leaping to conclusions. Which I never do. Mostly.

Girls Just Want to Have Fun
True. Unless your manicurist ends up murdered. Then we pivot.

Material Girl
Madonna understood the right outfit can solve just about anything. And if it doesn’t? Add diamonds.

Walk Like an Egyptian
Proof the ‘80s made zero sense. But did we care?

You Spin Me Round
For the “record,” I enjoy being spun.

Take On Me
Best. Ringtone. Ever.

Hungry Like the Wolf
If I feel like I’m being hunted … or doing the hunting. Either way, turn it up.

Africa
No one knows what it’s about. But that chorus? Mind-blowing.

True Colors
For Susan. She’s seen every version of me. Still here.

Side B

 Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
Play when I’m up all night connecting dots and questioning everyone.

Edge of Seventeen
This is goddess music—and why I named my Porsche Stevie Nicks.

Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?
The eyeliner. The voice. Respect.

Dead Man's Party
Reminds me of my dinner parties. I can’t help it if they go horribly wrong.

 Shadows of the Night
For when the lights dim, and the truth gets really uncomfortable.

The Longest Time
For Jim and that magnificent mustache. I never stood a chance.

Total Eclipse of the Heart
Because this song has to belong in an ‘80s playlist.

The Warrior
Shooting down the walls of heartache. Bang. Bang. Exactly.

We Got the Beat
Big Hair’s open. The music’s blasting. Life’s weird. I wouldn’t change it for anything.
