Overview
What has Sid so rattled?
An adjunct professor worries she’ s made a grave mistake returning to her hometown when she’ s drawn into a decades-old murder mystery...by the victim’ s skeleton!
Georgia Thackery isn’ t exactly thrilled to be moving back to her childhood home, not that she has much choice. As a struggling adjunct English professor and single mom to a teenage daughter, Georgia takes jobs wherever she can find them. At least with this new teaching gig in Pennycross, Massachusetts, she has a rent-free place to live. Besides, there’ s a major upside to Georgia’ s homecoming: Sid!
Every family has secrets, but the skeleton in Georgia’ s closet isn’ t just real, he’ s a living (kinda), breathing (sorta), cringey-joke-making part of the family– who happens to be her best friend! No one quite knows the origins of Sid’ s remains, and he can’ t recall anything from before meeting Georgia and taking up residence in the Thackery attic. But all that changes during an outing to the local college campus, when Sid recognizes a face from his literal past life...and it chills him to the bone.
Now, Sid has questions about the circumstances of his death and Georgia will do whatever it takes to help him dig up the truth. But when all signs point to murder, is Georgia in danger of becoming the next family skeleton?
Fans of Charlaine Harris and Sofie Kelly will adore this charming supernatural cozy mystery— the first in the beloved Family Skeleton series— by Agatha Award-winning author, Toni L. P. Kelner, writing as Leigh Perry.
