Details: Product Description Scumble River's school psychologist Sky Denison might have to put her wedding on hold when the town's sexy new librarian is murdered and list of suspects keeps stacking up. There’s no place like Scumble River at Christmastime, and this year, school psychologist Skye Denison has twice as much to celebrate—and to do. In addition to the usual holiday frenzy, Skye’s wedding to police chief Wally Boyd is less than a week away—that is, if the groom isn’t too busy working to attend. The town’s sexy new librarian, Yvonne Osborn, has just been murdered, and the list of suspects is piling up faster than late fees on an overdue book. Yvonne’s strict sense of right and wrong annoyed some townspeople and infuriated others. Did her high standards lead to her death? Skye is distracted by worries about what havoc the crazy Dooziers will wreak on her wedding day and whether she’ll fit into her dress. But Skye can’t afford to leave any page unturned because unless she works quickly to expose the scheming killer, her happy ending may be put on permanent hold.… From Booklist A wedding is on the agenda in Swanson’s long-running Scumble River series. School psychologist Skye Denison and police chief Wally Boyd will marry in less than a week (right after Christmas), and there is plenty still to do—even before librarian Yvonne Osborne is killed, apparently having been forced off a bridge in her car. Now Wally is missing holiday celebrations, and Skye has a vision of what being married to a cop is going to be like. She perseveres, however, continuing with the wedding preparations while helping Wally question suspects in her role as police psychologist consultant. Swanson effectively mixes the ongoing investigation with plenty of humorous slices of Skye’s daily life.
