4.5 ⭐️

This was such a unique premise for a cozy mystery! I loved Sid and enjoyed tagging along with him and Georgia during their investigations. I loved their banter and all of the puns sprinkled throughout the books.

I‘ve seen this series for years but hadn‘t picked up the first book until last week. I‘m disappointed with myself for having waited so long. #ILoveCozies

I'm not a cozy mystery person (and that's the genre that sprang to mind with Clues as a prompt), but I saw this one on a shelf and bought it immediately. It was fun! #startreksummermay

Megabooks That cover is a little creepy! I‘m not sure my dog would like a skeleton! 5y
khooliha @Megabooks I'm realizing now that the cover doesn't really convey that the skeleton is alive and friendly! He is, and they solve his murder. 5y

This is the first in a cozy mystery series. There is a walking, talking, crime solving skeleton that lives with the MC's #family. I haven't read it yet, but it was so different, I had to buy it. #jubilantjuly

I'm suffering from a book hangover from my last book. I'm playing it safe with a fun/easy read.

Not my favorite of all time, but for sheer hilarity of idea this takes the cake. Still haven't finished it (oops) but wow. So funny. #funfridayphoto

Alfoster Cool pic! 8y
Suzze Oh! Toni (Leigh) is one of my mystery author pals. 8y
TheBookDream @Alfoster Thanks! @Suzze I found that novel by chance at a B and N, thought the scenario was too great to pass up, showed it to a friend and he bought a copy, told a different B and N about it and they posted about it on their FB page. It's so odd it's catchy! 💀💀 8y

This cover is ridiculous. As is this game, since I cut myself off from a resource I need. Whoops!
