Using her contacts in the world of associate professors, Georgia reaches out to learn more about the murdered girl. Plus Georgia comes home to find her parents have returned from their sabbatical early. She was living in their home since her job as an associate professor doesn't pay much. Life is about to change in more than one way.
Once they retrieve Sid, he uses his computer skills to learn more about why someone would want to kill such a popular girl. Together, the two of them will learn more about cyber bullying and the damage it can cause.
THE SKELETON HAUNTS A HOUSE, Leigh Perry's third entry in the Family Skeleton series, is a winner. Perry's ability to make the reader believe in a living skeleton is amazing, and the characters are a big part of making the story work. Georgia is a proud mother but worries about money a lot; the life of an associate professor is not an easy one. Georgia and her family work well together despite their differences. The mystery is thought provoking without being overwhelmingly dark. The topic is timely and makes people aware of the damage people can do in an online presence.
Book Summary
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…
What holiday could bring more warmth to a skeleton’s chest cavity than Halloween? 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…
