This was a ghost story with a different twist. It is funny and fun. The conversations are great fun to read and the characters are great to get to know. The concept is fun in a very different way. Sid is a hoot and his relationship with Byron has great possibilities.

Most families have skeletons in their closets
Moving back into her parents house with her teenage daughter had not been Georgia Thackerys 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 familys skeleton. Hes 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 Georgias 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 conventiondisguised as a skeleton, of coursehe sees a woman who triggers memories of his past.
Now he is determined to find out how he diedwith Georgias help. But their investigation may uncover a killer whos still alive and well and bad to the bone
This was a nice quick read I particularly liked how Sid (the skeleton in the family) could pull himself together as a person or collapse into a pile of bones! Loved his sense of humor, character --- and his devotion to his family he had walked in on! The story was well planned, plotted, characters were interesting ---not necessarily really believable but good any how! Loved how the dog joined the family and his love of bones --- good entertaining mystery!
