Murder
of a Smart Cookie
Scumble River Mystery #7
by Denise Swanson
What can this reviewer say other than Denise Swanson has done it again?
In the seventh installment of the Agatha Award-Nominated Scumble River
Series, school psychologist Skye Denison once again finds herself
caught up in solving the strange happenings, especially murder, in
her small town. This time, Skye is in charge of the Route 66 Yard
Sale, and trying to organize it is a lot more difficult than dealing
with the students she counsels in her school district. Neighbors fight
among each other, even Skye's own mother!
Each book in the Scumble River series entertains readers, and Murder
of a Smart Cookie does not deviate from Ms. Swanson's previous
works. Skye Denison's character continues to be enhanced, and readers
continue to feel like they know Skye and what makes her tick. The
setting of the community yard sale makes humorous points and is
different from many other mystery settings. Once again, Ms. Swanson
has an uncanny way of making murder interesting, and making the
reader want to read and read to find out whodunit. Murder
of a Smart Cookie is one of the best mysteries that this reviewer
has read this year. Kudos to Ms. Swanson!
