<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Just in time for Christmas, Perry's wonderful Family Skeleton Series of delightful cozy mysteries returns with a festive new murder mystery.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Mirth and murder blend beautifully in Perry's sixth whodunit featuring Sid, a skeleton who can move around, talk, and search the internet for clues. . . . Cozy fans who enjoy their mysteries leavened with humor will find their funny bones tickled. --<i>Publishers Weekly, </i> starred review</b> <p/> <b>Sid is back with a murder that's sure to send a chill down your spine in Leigh Perry's festive new mystery. <p/> 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 <i>in the know</i> about Sid, their walking, talking family skeleton. <p/> 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. <p/> Except that all of Sid's bones are present and accounted for. <p/> 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. <p/> And one of Georgia's adjunct friends could be implicated. <p/> 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. <p/> <b>Whodunits don't come much funnier than Perry's suspenseful fifth mystery featuring 'an ambulatory skeleton named Sid.'... Fans of offbeat comic mysteries will be richly rewarded. --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> starred review on <i>The Skeleton Makes a Friend</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Named a best read of 2019 by Dru's Book Musings and Dollycas</b> <p/> <b>Mirth and murder blend beautifully in Perry's sixth whodunit featuring Sid, a skeleton who can move around, talk, and search the internet for clues. . . .

Fans of offbeat comic mysteries will be richly rewarded. <br> -<i>Publishers Weekly, </i> starred review <p/> <b>For previous books in The Family Skeleton Mystery series</b> <p/> Dr. Georgia Thackery is smart, resourceful, and determined to be a great single mom to her teenager. Georgia is normal in every respect--except that her best friend happens to be a skeleton named Sid. You'll love the adventures of this unexpected mystery-solving duo. <br> -Charlaine Harris, #1 <i>New York Time</i>s bestselling author <p/> "Adjunct English professor Georgia Thackery makes a charming debut in <i>A Skeleton in the Family. </i> Georgia is fiercely loyal to her best friend, Sid, an actual skeleton who is somehow still 'alive.' When Sid sees someone he remembers from his past life--who later turns up dead--Georgia finds herself trying to put together the pieces of Sid's past as she works to hunt down a killer. Amateur sleuth Georgia, and her sidekick, Sid, are just plain fun!" <br> -Sofie Kelly, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Faux Paw</i> <p/> "No bones about it, Leigh Perry hooked me right from the beginning. An unusual premise, quirky characters and smart, dry humor season this well-told mystery that kept me guessing until the very end. It's too bad Perry's sleuth is fictional--I'd invite Georgia over for dinner in a heartbeat." <br> -Bailey Cates, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Magic and Macaroons</i> <p/> A delightful cozy with a skeleton who will tickle your funny bone. <br> -Paige Shelton, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>If Onions Could Spring Leeks</i> <p/><br>
