Murder of a Snake in the Grass by Denise Swanson

Murder of a Snake in the Grass by Denise Swanson

After over two years, school psychologist Skye Denison is still in Scumble River trying to figure out why she's still in Scumble River. But with all the town's quirks and crimes, life there is never dull, and besides, it's home.

Scumble River is celebrating its bicentennial in style--with Historical Society Reenactments, a bingo tent, Crazy Craft Race, and a coal-tossing tournament. Serving as the guest of honor is none other than the town founder's great-great-grandnephew, Gabriel Scumble. But his visit turns out to be short-lived when Skye's students, Frannie and Justin, find him dead, a pickax protruding from the chest area of his authentic buckskin costume.

Meanwhile, Skye's deceitful ex-fianc Luc St. Amant has appeared out of the blue, creating turmoil in her love life. Does the real danger lie in the possibility that Luc will drive away the men in Skye's life, or is there a more menacing connection between Luc's arrival and Gabriel Scumble's murder?

Denise Swanson is the author of the Scumble River mysteries, Deveraux's Dime Store mysteries, and Chef-to-Go mysteries, as well as the Change of Heart contemporary romances, which have all been New York Times bestselling. She's been nominated for the Career Achievement Award, the Agatha Award, and the Mary Higgins Clark Award from RT Magazine.
