Murder of a Snake in the Grass by Denise Swanson is the 4th book in A Scumble River mystery series. During bicentennial celebrations, a guest and ancestor was found murdered. Skye is also tied up with school delinquents and the return of her ex fiance.A complicated story with the murder almost taking a back seat to the other goings on.I have come to love this series and the town and enjoy finding out more of the characters and history. An enjoyable read and I am glad that Skyes romantic liasons are starting to get sorted out.Looking forward to starting the next book.

This is the type of series that is fun to read, no thinking needed as you sit on the beach or by a fire. The quirky characters and the gossip moving faster than a telephone makes you laugh as the town comes together to celebrate the Bicentennial. This series isn't for everyone.... but if you try it, it is worth.
