Summary:
Skye Denison is a pushover. She can't say no to just about anyone. In this edition of What Can We Force Skye to Do Now?, Skye gets roped into not only being a faculty adviser to the Promfest committee, but acting a part in the haunted house fundraiser. And Skye hates haunted houses. (Childhood trauma, blah blah blah...) On opening night of the haunted house, the head of the Promfest committee gets offed, and it looks like the killer could have been after Skye herself. At the same time, a new social worker is hired for the school district, and they're forced to share offices in each building. More fun times in Scumble River.
Thoughts:
I had this one pegged practically from the murderer's introduction. Swanson used the same naming technique in a previous book, so I had no trouble figuring out who was making the hit, and there was very little surprise in who went down as well. I spent most of this book waiting for the shoe to actually drop. The only suspense was in whether or not Skye would actually talk to Wally while he was away taking care of his ailing father. Mostly, with this particular installment, I was just muddling through on my way to the next book in the series. I only recommend reading it if you've read all the others, and you're wanting to continue. It just has some things in there that you won't want to miss for when Swanson eventually refers back to them in future books.
Book 3 of 50
Pages: 248
Genre: Mystery
Grade: C
Would I Recommend?: Eh, only if you're plowing through the series like I am. Otherwise, don't bother with this one.
