I like the skeleton twist in these books and read them when I find one I haven't read.

The Skeleton Stuffs a Stocking by Leigh Perry is the sixth novel in A Family Skeleton Mystery series. It can be read as a standalone, but you will be missing out some fun adventures with Georgia and Sid. Georgia and the Thackery family are looking forward to a merry holiday season with Sid by their side. This will be the first Christmas they have all been together since Madison learned of Sid's existence. Then Byron is found with a femur bone in his mouth and it is not one of Sid's (this time). It seems that Byron stumbled upon a victim who has been dead at least ten years. Georgia would like to sit out this case, but then her friend, Dr. Charles Peyton tells her information that if he shares with the police could get him arrested. Georgia wants to solve the case and clear Charles. Sid is thrilled that Georgia has changed her mind especially since he already has a spreadsheet started. Can Georgia and Sid wrap up this chilly case before the holidays? The Skeleton Stuffs a Stocking has such great characters. I just love Sid. He is such a unique character being a walking, talking skeleton. He holds himself together by force of will. I like that the family has outfitted his attic for him. He has a busy online where he takes classes, communicates with friends, plays games, does research, and shops. The mystery was interesting. I like that it is a cold case which is harder for the duo to solve. There is active investigating, good clues and even a twist that some people may not expect. I like that Georgia meets up with Brownie once again. There is only one thing standing in the way of Georgia having a fulfilling relationship with BrownieâSid. I love the humor in the story that has me laughing frequently. The Thackery's have a grad student who cannot stop talking about his dissertation or eating all the Thackery's food. He provided some snarky comments and amusing moments. The Skeleton Stuffs a Stocking is a lively tale with staff on strike, a cold case, a previous paramour, an abandoned abode, and happy holiday happenings.
