Most families have skeletons in their closets…
Moving back into her parents’ house with her teenage daughter had not been Georgia Thackery’s “Plan A.” But when she got a job at the local college, it seemed the sensible thing to do. So she settled in and began reconnecting with old friends.
Including Sid. Sid is the Thackery family’s skeleton. He’s lived in the house as long as Georgia can remember, although no one, including Sid, knows exactly where he came from and how he came to be a skeleton.
Sid walks, he talks, he makes bad jokes, he tries to keep Georgia’s dog from considering him a snack. And he manages to persuade Georgia to let him leave the house. But when she takes him to an anime convention—disguised as a skeleton, of course—he sees a woman who triggers memories of his past.
Now he is determined to find out how he died—with Georgia’s help. But their investigation may uncover a killer who’s still alive and well and bad to the bone…

Review
PRAISE FOR A SKELETON IN THE FAMILY:
"Dr. Georgia Thackery is smart, resourceful, and determined to be a great single mom to her teenager. Georgia is normal in every respect—except that her best friend happens to be a skeleton named Sid. You'll love the adventures of this unexpected mystery-solving duo."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris.
“Adjunct English professor Georgia Thackery makes a charming debut in A Skeleton in the Family. Georgia is fiercely loyal to her best friend, Sid, an actual skeleton who is somehow still ‘alive.’ When Sid see someone he remembers from his past life—who later turns up dead—Georgia finds herself trying to put together the pieces of Sid’s past as she works to hunt down a killer. Amateur sleuth Georgia, and her sidekick, Sid, are just plain fun!”—Sofie Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of Cat Trick
"No bones about it, Leigh Perry hooked me right from the beginning. An unusual premise, quirky characters, and smart, dry humor season this well-told mystery that kept me guessing until the very end. It's too bad Perry's sleuth is fictional--I'd invite Georgia over for dinner in a heartbeat." —Bailey Cates, national bestselling author of Bewitched, Bothered and Biscotti
"A delightful cozy with a skeleton who will tickle your funny bone." —Paige Shelton, national bestselling author of If Bread Could Rise to the Occasion

No Bones About It
By BarbaraC
The brand new A Family Skeleton Mystery series is a delightfully original entry into the paranormal "cozy" genre! Sid the skeleton has been part of the Thackery family for 30 years and Georgia Thackery's best friend since she was 6 years old. He walks, he talks, he reads, his favorite movie is The Nightmare Before Christmas, and he has a big heart...not literally, but so to speak. And he has no memory of his life before he became a skeleton.
Shortly after Georgia and her 14-year-old daughter Madison move back into Georgia's parents home, Sid persuades Georgia to let him attend the Mangachusetts manga and anime convention in costume as Lord Death. He seems to have a wonderful time, however, he sees a woman there who brings up uncomfortable feelings (not quite memories) of guilt and fear for him. Days later, Sid and Georgia discover this same woman dead in her home. While the police see the murder as a home invasion gone wrong, Sid & Georgia set out to discover Sid's human identity and what the connection was between him and the deceased Dr. Kirkland.
This is not another "shop" (coffee, tea, chocolate, bakery, book, quilt, knitting, vintage clothing, etc.) setting series. No recipes or patterns at the back of the book here. Georgia has taken a job as an English adjunct at the small Massachusetts college where her parents are tenured professors, so the primary settings are the McQuaid college campus and the Thackery family home.
The writing is breezy and witty, and the dialog between Georgia and Sid includes many puns and expressions relating to osteology. Even though Sid's abilities stretch the imagination a bit more than the usual paranormal characters, I love the originality in this book. I enjoyed the way the mystery storyline was pertinent to the characters, and not just Georgia and Sid being busybodies with nothing better to do with their time than interfere with a police investigation. Another element that appealed to me was the character development from the beginning to the end of the book. Make no mistake, this is not literature with a capital L, but I enjoyed the time spent with this book and look forward to the next in the series.

The Knee Bone Is Connected To The Leg Bone
By F. Yoder
A Skeleton In The Family is the first book in the Family Skeleton series.
Even the author says this is a little off the wall and I have to agree, but I loved it and look forward to more books in this series.
Georgia and her teenaged daughter, Madison, have moved back to the family hometown, where she has gotten a teaching position at the local college. Georgia is looking forward to catching up with Sid, who is a skeleton.
The Thackery family have "owned" Sid the skeleton for around thirty years and Georgia had named him Sid when they "rescued" him from a traveling carnival.
This book centers around Sid wanting to know who he is and how he came to be dead. Georgia and him get a lead on a lady professor that looks familiar to Sid and sneak into her house, only to find that she has been murdered. A couple strange events had happened at college and they are wondering if she was killed or if she was a victim of burglary gone wrong.
I admit, I had my doubts when I started the book, but quickly changed to loving it. And Sid has some of the best lines. They be corney, but still, they made me laugh.
Looking forward to book #2.

A Superb New Series in the Mystery Genre!
By J & L Rigod
A five star debut...oh yeah! I truly want a Sid in my life! Not to mention a gal friend like Georgia...what am I chattering on about?
Well, Dr. Georgia Thackery, professional adjunct professor, and mother of one clever girl, Madison, returns to her family home (parents are on a sabbatical,)in Western Mass. Georgia has one sister, Dorothy, who owns a locksmithing company. Georgia is not the only adult in the house however, she has a long time friend (from age six,) named Sid who she relies upon. Sid has chosen to remain hidden from Madison due to the fact that he is a sentient skeleton. Yup, a skeleton that often lives in a closet...actually a favorite armoire in the living room, when he isn't resting in the attic, reading.
This story is a mystery about finding out 'Sid's' true identity. It quickly morphs into a murder mystery but is definitely compelling reading. Who is Sid? Where did he come from? What was the cause of his death? Why, oh why, does a local nearby college professor seem 'familiar' to him? Why is the familiar professor killed? And, will Sid become a tasty treat for an Akita dog?
These queries and more and excellently researched and resolved in this action packed and laugh filled novel. I found myself unable to put this novel down and it followed me about the house while cooking and cleaning.
We learn how Sid comes home to live with Georgia's family. I'm not going to spoil the plot as this character is completely credible and you even forget that he is not among the living due to well timed quips that had me laughing out loud. Puns, one-liners, worthy of past famous comedians such as Jack Benny make you think up ones for yourself! I adore humor in books, such as in author Jeff Cohens, and this novel won me over.
Grab a travel cup filled with your favorite beverage and sit back to enjoy a wonderful new series!
