Some Issues, Juil 16 2003
This was a good book, but again, my favorite book so far is the first one (Murder of a Small-Town Honey), and I haven't read the fourth one yet, so there's hope yet.During my reading of this book, I felt that Skye didn't really understand teenagers, or was for some reason bias towards those in the book. (Yes, yes, I'm a teen myself!) Anyhow, the storyline, again, didn't intrest me that much. Justin and that girl who's name I can't remember, were more likable in this book than Skye herself. Also, one more thing, through out the book, Skye was asking for too many things! I know it's her job to help the children, but I was annoyed how she would always try to find the principal to request he do something. Overall, it was good, but I was annoyed by it. The one thing I'm gald about in this book, is that the author didn't kill off the murderer at the end! (It was a nice change!) -Ater

Even Prince Charming Couldn't Save This Beauty!, Juil 11 2003
In the 3rd book in the Scumble River mystery series, we see amateur sleuth, Skye Denison still working hard at fitting into her hometown and happily counseling students at her job. Skye is a school psychologist, returning home to live and work after humiliating herself while delivering a valedictorian speech 12 years prior. It seems that Skye left with a chip on her shoulder about "the small minds of those in a small town" and has to return home with her tail tucked firmly between her legs after losing her last job. Since she left her last job in disgrace (although not her fault), the only job she can get is in the school system that she shunned when she left town. While trying to re-establish herself in her hometown, she helped to solve two previous cases that have cleared family members of murder. In this case, Skye finds the body of Sleeping Beauty on stage at the high school, but this time no Prince Charming will come to her rescue. It seems that this former pageant competitor has been murdered, and there is a long list of suspects in her death. Skye has difficulties investigating this case as her police contact is mad at her, and she is stymied by the high school kids and their parents. Why did this seemingly popular girl have so many enemies? Who really killed this beauty? With the help of her mother and possible love interest, Simon Reid, Sky sets out to find the truth about this girl and her not-so-fairy tale life. I enjoyed this book although I found myself skipping a few paragraphs here and there while reading it. The mystery was appealing although I found that I had solved it earlier than I normally do. The characters are very interesting, and the aspect that I like the most in this series is the relationships between all of the people in this small town. If you enjoy cozy mysteries set in small town America, give this series a try. The first book in the series is "Murder of a Small Town Honey". Enjoy! A Cozy Lover
