- CHARMING AMATEUR SLEUTH MYSTERY
School psychologist, Skye Dennison has an uncomfortable past and as the history of her hometown is celebrated during the Scumble River bicentennial, hers comes back to haunt her. As Skye says, "sometimes it's better to let sleeping dogs lie, because if you disturb those canines they might wake up and bite you in the butt."

Skye left her hometown at eighteen after telling off everyone during her high school graduation. She vowed to never come back. She lied. Two years ago, after being jilted, fired, and maxing out her credit cards she came crawling back, and because it was home they had to take her in and forgive her, but they didn't have to forget.

Just as the citizens of Scumble River have begun to forget Skye's past, her ex-fiancé, Luc, shows up and makes everyone ... Read More

- Skye tries to get closure & ends up trying to solve a murder
Skye Denison is the school psychologist in Scumble River. Her ex-fiance, Luc, comes to town to try to woo her back. He also wants her to help him to set up a foundation for abused children. She knows that if she doesn't see him and get closure once and for all, she and Simon, the town mortician and coroner, will never have a future.

Scumble River is celebrating its bicentennial. There are many activities, including the re-enactment of the discovery of Scumble River. Gabriel Scumble, the last of the Scumble's, has been brought from Montreal to participate in the re-enactment.

Then he is discovered dead at the bandstand. Skye once again gets involved in helping to solve this crime. This time Wally, the police chief, does not get mad that she is helping; neither does Simon. ... Read More

- Silly
It's so obvious that the author is basing the main character on herself that it seems she goes a bit overboard in trying not to show this.

Skye just doesn't come across to me as your average midwestern adult professional. She comes across as stuffy, nerdy and silly -- certainly not someone schoolkids can relate to or feel comfortable with. The whole character just seems too forced to me, and her adventures are not at all entertaining. There's way too much minute detail -- what she wears, what she eats, what her phone messages say.

This book in particular I found very slow and confusing...like the resolution was something I was supposed to care about but didn't in the least, because I didn't know a whole lot about it. And the "mystery" behind Wally's strange behavior -- yawn.
