Denise Swanson’s Scumble Creek series is always humorous. In the sixth outing for Skye Denison, school psychologist, she must prove her brother Vince innocent of murder. Who left lead vocalist Logan dead? Why is the band called the Pink Elephants? What was wrong with the name The Plastic Santas? Is the music they play now just so damn loud, or is something else going on in this not so quiet town? And fighting over groupies in Scumble Creek? Vince, Vince, Vince…
Filled with realistic characters and great dialogue this is one of my favorite series. It has all the nuances of life in a small town. My favorite line from the book? - “Try not to let your mind wander, It’s to small and fragile to be out by itself.” I laugh out loud while I read faster and faster trying to keep up with Swanson’s prose. A perfect book to take you away from whatever ails you. I look forward to all my visits to Scumble River.
