With
one week until she marries Wally Boyd, Skye Denison does not
need anything else to distract her. It is bad enough Wally
is taking extra shifts at the Scumble River Police Dept. -
which leaves Skye with all the last minute details to get
the wedding together. To top it all, Christmas is in two days
and Skye still needs to shop for last minutes gifts.
Christmas
Eve finds Skye with her family waiting to start the feast
that all the women had made. Wally is going to be delayed
due to a fatal car accident. Yvonne Osborne, the temporary
librarian, was the victim. Wally thinks there is something
wrong with the accident scene. The next morning he tells Skye
that Yvonne did not have an accident - someone forced her
car off the bridge. Looks like Skye will have to help solve
this murder if she wants to get to the church on time. She
better be very careful or she could find herself shelved.
Things
to ponder: Who ranted about Yvonne Osborne in the Star? Who
would want to force Yvonne's car off the road? Will Skye and
Wally finally get married?
Reading
a Scumble River mystery is like visiting an old friend. Denise
Swanson does not disappoint. She has delivered a well plotted
intriguing mystery. Each book in the series is a little gem.
I read this book in one day - it is one series that I devour
in one sitting. If you can't wait for the next Scumble River
Mystery, you should try Ms. Swanson's other series, the Devereaux's
Dime Store Mysteries. So, if you like your mystery with a
visit to an old friend, then you should read Murder of
a Stacked Librarian.
