Sid the Skeleton bones up on clues to solve a Haunted House homicide
in this mystery from the author of The Skeleton Takes a Bow...
What holiday could bring more warmth to a skeleton's chest cavity than
Halloween? And when you're a living skeleton who's not supposed to be
seen outside the house, it's a welcome chance to get some fresh air and
rub bony elbows with people. That's why Sid doesn't mind wearing a
full-body dog suit and going as Scooby-Doo along with Georgia Thackery's
Velma to the Halloween Howl.
Sid can't wait to go through the Haunted House--but he gets rattled for
real when a genuine dead body is discovered. Trapped inside as the
police quickly seal off the crime scene, Sid makes no bones about
dropping the dog suit and posing as an actual skeleton. This murder is a
skull-scratcher, but as long as Sid is on the inside, he might as well
case the joint to figure out who used the cover of darkness to commit
the perfect crime...
