Fantastic, can't put down book!, Oct 19 2011
By Clareagan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Murder of a Creped Suzette: A Scumble River Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
I just love this series! I feel like I know all of the characters, and it leaves me wanting more! This mystery gives more info on the town, and the people. There's a murder, and a mystery relative? Who done it? Great writer, and her books are like potato chips, they leave you wanting more! She has great humor!

Witty and Resonant, Oct 26 2011
By Jeanne Gropp Wedig - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Murder of a Creped Suzette: A Scumble River Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read all the Scumble River books, so obviously I'm a fan. I'm halfway through Creped Suzette, having forced myself to put the book down so I could savor it. Why? I'm riveted by the development vs. small town tension, the inclusion of folks who are jobless, and references to the sorry state of the economy. It's so very well done without being preachy or depressing! It's timely, and I think it resonates with the current mood in the U.S..Plus, I love the characters, even though I'm in the "Simon" camp.
Bingo's behavior re: the dog is hysterical.
Of course Skye will solve the mystery, but it's the getting there that's so much fun!
As far as I'm concerned, this is one of her best.

compelling cozy, Oct 4 2011
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Murder of a Creped Suzette: A Scumble River Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Music promoter Rex Taylor accompanied by his Country Roads company staff and some of his most popular clients descends on Scumble River. Rex wants to gain local support to build a country western music theater in town. The visitors give a free open air concert attended by most townsfolk including school psychologist and police consultant Skye Denison. She ducks into an RV to go to the bathroom and hides whens Rex and his top superstar Flint Jones come in.Aspiring C&W singer and Rex's gopher Suzette Neal is late to perform as the opening act. Rex asks Flint who refuses as he is the star attraction. Suzette finally arrives and performs. Afterward she asks Skye to investigate the suspicious death of her mother in an accident in which Suzette swears she heard a stranger's voice. Skye agrees to look into the death of the performer's mother. The shrink goes to the site where the music theater is to be built. There she finds Suzette's body under a steamroller. Teaming up with her fiancé, Police Chief Wally Boyd, they investigate the homicide of the daughter and relook the alleged accidental death of the mother.
Reading a Scumble River police procedural is always a treat as the audience tries to solve a convoluted murder. Fans will want the killer caught not just for legal justice but also for karma as the victim was a nice person. With a touch of romance and a bit of family drama to round out the whodunit, Murder of a Creped Suzette is a compelling cozy.
