One of the singers at the concert is the potential up and comer, Suzette Neal. Suzette asks to speak with Skye after the performance. Suzette's mother was murdered 27 years ago in this very town. She wants to know who caused her mother's death and hopes Skye can help. Skye reluctantly agrees to investigate although she isn't sure what she can do after all this time.
When Suzette is found dead beneath a steam roller, Skye's investigation becomes more urgent. The guilt she feels for not taking Suzette's quest seriously propels her into this new investigation. Since Suzette's concern about the her mother's death might be a factor in her own current death, Skye and Wally decide they need to investigate both mysteries.
MURDER OF A CREPED SUZETTE is the latest in the ongoing Scrumble River series and is as enjoyable as the rest. We see Skye and Wally working together to solve the mystery with the style readers have grown to love. Simon is still in the background as well as all the other characters we have met in Scrumble River. The addition of Suzette's dog adds some amusing moments with Skye's cat. The usual chaos ensues as Skye goes on about her daily life while trying to solve two murders. As usual, the whole town will be shaken up by the her case.
Book Summary
When megamillionaire and imitation cowboy Rex Taylor proposes building a country music theater in Scumble River, everyone's ready to do the boot-scootin' boogie except school psychologist Skye Denison. She's been asked by Suzette Neal, Rex's assistant and a rising country star, to investigate her mother's suspicious death twenty-seven years earlier. No sooner does Skye agree to help than she finds Suzette literally flattened — and very dead.
This has fast become a case of two questionable deaths, and suspicion seems to be hovering over Suzette's inner circle: Rex's jealous wife, a mysterious man in a black pickup truck, and the sizzling-hot singer Flint James, who also happens to have been Suzette's bitter rival for country-western fame. With a honky-tonk full of suspects and a tangled web of motives that stretches back two decades, Skye has two options: Rise to the occasion or end up as flat as a crêpe.
