Halloween is one of the few times Sid can safely leave the home. After all, Sid is a living skeleton and at Halloween he can wear a costume to hide the fact he is all bones. Unfortunately, his foray out of the house with Georgia Thackery leaves him temporarily trapped in a haunted house when a dead body is found. Georgia and Sid can't resist the temptation to solve the murder mystery.

THE SKELETON HAUNTS A HOUSE is the third book in the Family Skeleton series but stands well on its own. Leigh Perry immediately immerses her readers into the lives of the Thackery family and Sid, the living skeleton. I definitely intend to read the two prior books as I want to know how Sid became a part of their family. Besides, I just want to read more about Sid as I absolutely love his character!

Leigh Perry does a marvelous job utilizing the humorous aspects to full effect as there are more than a few laugh-out-loud moments. However, the sense of family togetherness is what truly makes THE SKELETON HAUNTS A HOUSE perfect. From the family dinners to the various familial relationships, each and every aspect of THE SKELETON HAUNTS A HOUSE is a true delight.

THE SKELETON HAUNTS A HOUSE is the perfect blend of the paranormal and cozy mystery genres. Leigh Perry hooked me immediately with the concept of a cozy mystery combined with a living skeleton as I had to see how this would all work out. And oh what fun THE SKELETON HAUNTS A HOUSE is! If you love a good cozy mystery and a tad of the paranormal (such as a living skeleton!), then look no further than THE SKELETON HAUNTS A HOUSE as it is entertainment at its finest!

Sid the Skeleton bones up on clues to solve a Haunted House homicide in this mystery from the author of The Skeleton Takes a Bow…

And when you’re a living skeleton who’s not supposed to be seen outside the house, it’s a welcome chance to get some fresh air and rub bony elbows with people. That’s why Sid doesn’t mind wearing a full- body dog suit and going as Scooby-Doo along with Georgia Thackery’s Velma to the Halloween Howl.

Sid can’t wait to go through the Haunted House—but he gets rattled for real when a genuine dead body is discovered. Trapped inside as the police quickly seal off the crime scene, Sid makes no bones about dropping the dog suit and posing as an actual skeleton. This murder is a skull- scratcher, but as long as Sid is on the inside, he might as well case the joint to figure out who used the cover of darkness to commit the perfect crime…
