Good bones, bad vibes

Pennycross is spooked after a student is murdered at a popular haunted house, and now it's full scream ahead for English adjunct professor Georgia Thackery and Sid the Skeleton as they scramble to solve the case...

No bones about it, Halloween is Sid the Skeleton's absolute favorite season! It's the one time of year he can freely cavort around town with his best friend, English adjunct professor Georgia Thackery. Sid's especially looking forward to Pennycross's infamous Halloween Howl. The annual, month-long event celebrates all things spooky, but its main attraction is undoubtedly the haunt at " McHades" Hall.

Every October, to raise scholarship funds, McQuaid University transforms McQuaid Hall, the oldest building on campus, into an immersive haunted house experience, serving scares at the dilapidated mansion with swarms of student zombies, gallons of gag blood, and piles of plastic bones. But unfortunately, this year, visitors to McHades Hall stumble upon something unexpected-- one very real murder victim...

McQuaid student Kendall Fitzroy was beloved by family, friends, and her boyfriend-- no one knows why anyone would want to kill her. But with the community mourning a dead co-ed, the authorities threatening to shut down the attraction, and the University standing to lose thousands in donations, it's up to Sid, Georgia, and the entire Thackery family to scare up some clues and unmask the haunt's true ghoul before they strike again.

The third book in the Family Skeleton cozy mystery series by Agatha award-winning author Toni L. P. Kelner, writing as Leigh Perry, is sure to charm fans of Charlaine Harris and Sophie Kelly!
