Murder of a Smart Cookie
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! |
