REVIEW: A Skeleton in the Family

 A Skeleton in the Family
Author: Leigh Perry


I started reading this series years ago and life got in the way for a bit. Flash forward about 6 years, I spied this series still sitting on my bookshelves waiting for me to come back. Finally dove in! 

The basics: Georgia Thackery is an adjunct professor. She's just moved back to her parents' house with her daughter to teach at a college while they are away on sabbatical. She's glad to be back on familiar territory and also to see a good friend -- Sid.  Sid is a bit different and she has to keep his existence hidden from almost everyone. He's a skeleton -- a walking, talking skeleton. Georgia and Sid start investigating who Sid was before he became life-challenged....and soon discover a dead body. A killer seemingly wants them to stop investigating Sid's identity! 

This series is so fun to read. Sid is delightful, although he does make bad skeleton puns. I like Georgia as a main character. And, her daughter Madison is a great character as well. 

So glad to be reading this series again.  Moving on to book 2!
