Publisher's Summary

Georgia Thackery, adjunct English professor, has a new job teaching at Falstone College of Art and Design, known as FAD to its students and faculty. Living in a borrowed bungalow during winter in the snowiest part of Massachusetts, Georgia feels her isolation weighing as heavily as the weather. Then she receives a package containing her best friend, Sid, a walking, talking skeleton who has lived with the Thackery family since Georgia was six. With Georgia working out of town, Sid was lonely, too.

The two of them make plans for a cozy semester together, and it might have worked out that way if Sid hadn't snuck out in the middle of the night to play in the snow and spotted a crashed car. When he drags Georgia out to investigate, they find the driver behind the wheel, apparently dead from the collision.

Initially, police think it's an accident, so Georgia and Sid think that's the end of it - until Georgia finds out the body hits closer to home than she'd realized....

Critic Reviews

"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." (Charlaine Harris, number one New York Times best-selling author)

One of the best cozy mystery series

I’m enjoying this series. It’s original and Sid is a delight. There’s lots of humour and the narrator of the audiobooks does a great job. I enjoyed this instalment but the ‘gender fluid’ angle of one of the secondary characters added nothing to the story and made the dialogue confusing.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
