If I'd ever had reason. to consider the notion, I'd have been willing to bet that if I walked into a room that held a dead body, the body would have been the first thing I noticed.


Georgia and her daughter Madison have moved into her parent's house while they are on a sabbatical. Georgia has landed an adjunct teaching position at the college where her parents have tenure. Her childhood home also has Sid the skeleton in residence. Sid has been with the family since Georgia was 6 years old. A weekend outing with Sid in costume starts a series of events that lead to the story of his demise.

This is a cute, humorous book that does not take itself too seriously. Sid has a plethora of bad jokes up his sleeve in his repertoire, a cocky attitude and a strong sense of protection toward Georgia. I enjoyed the characters and look forward to reading more in the series.
