His weekdays tend to be pretty lonely, what with Georgia teaching at McQuaid University and Madison attending high school, so when the opportunity arises for him (well, part of him, anyway) to play the part of Yorick in the drama club\u2019s production of <strong>Hamlet<\/strong>, he seizes it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At first, Sid rather enjoys his new more mobile status; his skull spends mornings in Madison\u2019s locker eavesdropping on students\u2019 conversations, afternoons \u201cpracticing\u201d on stage, and evenings at home with the family. But then Madison accidentally leaves the skull backstage overnight and things get decidedly more complicated. Sid\u2019s certain he overheard a murder, but the next morning there\u2019s no evidence of a crime. No evidence means no police investigation, but Sid\u2019s adamant that justice be served. Should the Thackerys and their family skeleton attempt to crack the case themselves, or will doing so bring about their own murders?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The Skeleton Takes a Bow<\/strong> is the second of <strong><em>Leigh Perry&#8217;s<\/em><\/strong> <em>Family Skeleton Mysteries<\/em>. I loved the series debut, <strong>A Skeleton in the Family<\/strong>, and I&#8217;m happy to report that this latest installment is even better than its predecessor. Perry\u2019s setup is whimsical, unique, and takes wonderful advantage of the series&#8217; premise. Her mystery is intelligently crafted and features no shortage of clever clues, viable suspects, and expertly deployed red herrings. The pace is swift, the dialogue is snappy, and the laughs are both hearty and plentiful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Georgia&#8217;s a strong, smart, loyal heroine and a resourceful amateur sleuth. Madison is one of the most authentically realized teenagers in the genre. In Sid, Perry&#8217;s created one of the most intelligent, loyal, and endearing sidekicks I&#8217;ve ever encountered. And together, the three make for a fabulously compelling non-traditional family. Perhaps my favorite thing about this book, though \u2013 about this series, really \u2013 is watching the trio try and figure out how Sid fits into the picture. Sid&#8217;s been Georgia&#8217;s best friend since she was a child, and the nature of that relationship&#8217;s never really changed; Madison only recently became aware of his existence, though, and while she\u2019s accepted his presence in the house, his role in her life has yet to be determined. To call him a pet would be inaccurate (not to mention insulting), but he&#8217;s not properly a father figure, either. Can a skeleton be an honorary uncle? And if so, can a skeletal honorary uncle enforce curfew? I, for one, can\u2019t wait to see what future <em>Family Skeleton Mysteries<\/em> will bring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/21467765-the-skeleton-takes-a-bow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/goodread-logo.jpg?resize=210%2C86\" alt=\"goodread-logo\" width=\"210\" height=\"86\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Reviewed by<\/em> <strong>Kat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/4.5_star_blog.jpg?resize=177%2C60\" alt=\"4.5_star_blog\" width=\"177\" height=\"60\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00IOE3O7K?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thesea0f-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00IOE3O7K\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/amazon-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"amazon-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=266972.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=8432&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fsearch.barnesandnoble.com%252Fbooksearch%252Fisbninquiry.asp%253Fean%253D9780698143203\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bandn-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"bandn-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/lookup?isbn=9780698143203\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/iBooks_Icon.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"iBooks_Icon\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=290193.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=9309&amp;RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kobobooks.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.html%3Fq%3D9780698143203\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/kobo-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"kobo-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Leigh_Perry_The_Skeleton_Takes_a_Bow?id=IjPlAgAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/icon-google-play.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"icon-google-play\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-13607\" data-postid=\"13607\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-13607 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And the best performance as a skull goes to\u2026 After years of hiding in the Thackery family house, Sid the skeleton is delighted to finally [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[83,109,47],"tags":[153,367,485],"class_list":["post-13607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-berkley","category-kat","category-reviewer","tag-4-5-stars","tag-mystery","tag-top-picks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
