Summary
And the best performance as a skull goes to....
After years of hiding in the Thackery family house, Sid the skeleton is delighted to finally have his moment in the spotlight. He’s starring in a high school production of Hamlet. Well, not so much starring in as being a prop. At least part of him has a part - he’s using his head to play Yorick of “Alas, poor Yorick” fame. Every day, Georgia Thackery’s daughter, Madison, who’s also in the play, brings in his skull, and every night, she takes him home.... Until one night when he’s accidentally left at school - and hears the sounds of someone being murdered. But the next day, there’s no body and no one seems to be missing.
Sid is not a numbskull - he knows what he heard. Georgia thinks he imagined it - until a week later when a body is found. Now Georgia and Sid will both need to keep their heads as they stick their necks out and play sleuth to catch the conscience of a killer....

Great cosy series, need number 6!
These are the kind of books that don't blow your mind on a first read, but are a source of gentle, growing pleasure. The reader is a little bit ponderous, especially with anything humourous, and she can make the main character who narrates the stories come across in the same way. But she grows on you, like the books,, and her character voices are actually very good.
These are fun, cosy whodunnits. What I like best is the juxtaposition of one fantasy element - a living/undead skeleton called Sid - with the practical minutiae of being a single mother and a working academic.
I was so happy when books 1-3 became available again this year, as I was missing two of them. Wish Audible would add book 6 to the collection!

Lovely sequel
I greatly enjoyed ‘A Skeleton in the House’ over during the lockdowns, and ‘A Skeleton takes a Bow’ was a fantastic follow-up. Wonderfully narrated with a story that meshes together like interlocking wooden gears.
