A Scumble River Mystery
review 1: Men just can't help but be attracted to Skye Denison. What full-figured woman doesn't want to be in that situation especially considering that Skye's romance with uber-attractive Police Chief Wally Boyd continues hot and heavy. In this, the eleventh installment in Denise Swanson's Scumble River series, the reason for Skye's interaction with the crazy woman from the two previous books comes to its conclusion.
review 2: Skye does not fail to disappoint: still a spineless wonder of a heroine. The books are not hilarious. They are a poor attempt of cutesy writing that fails to appeal. And why are all the men that enter the picture "hot"? The author has needed to rethink this character from book one. Skye, the ever so brilliant sleuth, gets "roped-into" particip
... moreating in the haunted house out of what? Fear, jealousy of the new social worker? Where is her backbone? then her fear of haunted houses has her packing garlic and such to ward off......as she plays a witch? Then she lets some almost stranger drive her home and gives him her car and keys for her to retrieve the next day. Where is the intelligence in any of this? I continue to read this crap because it amuses me to see how far the publishing industry has declined in the past several years. This book is a poor excuse of published material.It was obvious from the beginning as to who Jackie was and why not one of the characters in the book could identify her is beyond reason. It was also obvious who that the reporter was not who he said he was either. The entire story was predictable except the idea that Stacy/Jackie/Imogene/Veronica wanted to be Skye.I am glad to be done with this book and will not ever consider buying another of Ms. Swanson's tales. less

I really enjoy this series and this author. I just she came out with books more often.

Not as meaty or full bodied as her other books. Too short!
