Synopsis: &“Mirth and murder blend beautifully&” in this tale of an amateur sleuth and her bony best friend (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Dr. Georgia Thackery is back home with her parents after finding a new adjunct position at Bostock College. Everyone is excited for their first family Christmas with nothing to hide. Why? Because Georgia&’s daughter Madison is now in the know about Sid, their walking, talking family skeleton. But their Christmas cheer is interrupted when the Thackerys' dog Byron goes missing on a cold December night. When he&’s finally found, he has a femur clutched between his jaws—and Georgia and Madison race to apologize to Sid for letting the dog gnaw on him yet again. Except that all of Sid&’s bones are present and accounted for… This bone is from somebody else, and when they trace Byron&’s trail to an overgrown lot nearby, they find the rest of the skeleton. It&’s the normal kind, not moving or telling jokes, and when the police come to take charge, they&’re sure it was murder, and one of Georgia&’s adjunct friends could be implicated. With tensions stirring at the college and everyone hiding a secret or two, Sid and Georgia must uncover the truth before the ghost of a Christmas past strikes again. &“Amateur sleuth Georgia, and her sidekick, Sid, are just plain fun!&”—Sofie Kelly, New York Times-bestselling author of the Magical Cats Mysteries
