Publisher's summary

Sid is back with a murder that’s sure to send a chill down your spine in Leigh Perry’s festive new mystery.

Dr. Georgia Thackery is back at home with her parents after finding a new adjunct position at Bostock College. Everyone is excited for their first family Christmas with nothing to hide. Why? Because Georgia’s daughter, Madison, is now in the know about Sid, their walking, talking family skeleton.

But their Christmas cheer is interrupted when the Thackerys' dog, Byron, goes missing on a cold December night. When he’s finally found, he has a femur clutched between his jaws, and Georgia and Madison race to apologize to Sid for letting the dog gnaw on him yet again.

Except that all of Sid’s bones are present and accounted for. This bone is from somebody else, and when they trace Byron’s trail to an overgrown lot nearby, they find the rest of the skeleton. It’s the normal kind, not moving or telling jokes, and when the police come to take charge, they’re sure it was murder.

And one of Georgia’s adjunct friends could be implicated. With tensions stirring at the college and everyone hiding a secret or two, Sid and Georgia must uncover the truth before the ghost of a Christmas past strikes again.

Even better than the last one!

I love this series so much and it just keeps getting better! The mysteries are always interesting, but I really appreciate how there is significant character development and forward movement in the characters’ lives as the series progresses. Too many times a mystery series will just plug along, without much happening in the main characters’ lives from book to book. But with this series, just as much happens to the characters as it does to the overall storyline. This book has even more packed in than I could have imagined! I listened to the whole thing in one day, despite wanting to savor it. I just couldn’t help myself.

I hope this isn't the end!

even though it took me a while to get into this 1, (**spoiler** I didn't exactly find the reconciliation between the main character and her old love interest believable), I really hope this isn't the end of the series! I've really enjoyed the antics

The reviews made this seem really promising, but..

The story drags; the narration is trite and awkwardly delivered. I held on until chapter 5, but after the author utilized the word "adjunct" for about the 57th time in the same chapter (OK that is hyperbole, but the repetition of the word was profoundly annoying) I had to bail out and return the book. Sorry, but I found zero entertainment value to this one.
