Sheriff Buck Peterson: "I don't know why you're so riled up, May. I'm not accusing Skye of nothing."
May: "Right. And I'm not saying if brains were water, you wouldn't have enough to baptize a flea."
Denise Swanson- Murder of a Real Bad Boy
Today's choice for my book to read and then donate to Better World Books was another in the Scumble River Mystery Series by Denise Swanson. Along with the witty dialogue I have come to expect from her books, this one held my interest with some clever side stories as well as some intriguing new characters.
In Murder of a Real Bad Boy, Skye Denison soon discovers that while the contractor she hired is easy on the eyes, he is definitely hard on the bank account. The little work that is actually getting done on the house she inherited is subpar to say the least. She realizes that she is not the only one displeased with Beau Hamilton when she arrives home and finds that he has been murdered. And as an unhappy home owner, Skye looks like a prime suspect to Sheriff Buck Peterson.
In between finding her lost cat, exploring her feelings for Wally, and finding out what secret her brother is keeping, Skye needs to figure out who really killed the all-thumbs contractor. But her meddling may end up getting her killed.
This is one of my favorites in the Scumble River Series. Even though I did not read them in order, you may want to start with book 1 in the series (Murder of a Small Town Honey) and go from there. All of them can be found at http://www.betterworldbooks.com/ , where each purchase and donation helps fund libraries and literacy projects.
