Murder of a SmallTown Honey Scumble River Mysteries Book 1 Denise Swanson Books

The female-sleuth is Skye Denison, and Scumble River is the small town in Illinois she is from. She is a school psychologist and has recently moved back home after losing her job.

Skye stumbles upon a dead body and is shocked to learn that it was a woman by the name of Honey Adiar, who used to date Skye's older brother Vince in high school. Of course the police think Vince killed Honey. He claims not and Skye believes him.

Skye's mother May works as a part-time dispatcher for the local police station. She wants Skye to find out who the real killer is. May thinks that Skye's background as a psychologist will be helpful - that people will open up to her.

The relationship between Skye and her mother is interesting. They love each other but get on each other's nerves. I thought it was interesting that May wanted her to get involved. Typically a mother would not want her daughter trying to solve a murder mystery, so this is an interesting twist.

Skye is smart, and does a good job of handling people and knows what to tactfully say in tough situations.

I would recommend this book.

Murder of a SmallTown Honey Scumble River Mysteries Book 1 Denise Swanson Books Reviews

THIS WAS THE FIRST BOOK I READ WRITTEN BY DENISE SWANSON AND I WAS HOOKED. SHE DOES WELL IN DEVELOPING HER CHARACTERS AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND ANOTHER AUTHOR I LOOK FORWARD TO READING.
I have finshed this book and it was really good. Light reading, holds your interest, mysterious, and funny at the same time. I have not read the other two I purchased yet, but I do intend to read them in order. Good choice for fast easy reading.
I loved this one! I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
This novel was a very entertaining introduction to a new series. The characters are entertaining and there are a few good plot twists. The main character's motivation for coming back to Illinois is never really explained. It doesn't make sense that a small town girl who spent four years in the Peace Corps would apire to high society in New Orleans while working as a school psychologist. That's a mouthful that needs more explanation. I'd like to know more about her and less about color coordinating your shoes to your outfit. However, this doesn't detract much from the story, and this is a diverting mystery.
One of my good friends recommended this series to me as a great cozy mystery series and she was right! I really enjoyed this book. I liked the small town vibe, the characters are believable and well rounded. There were some points where the pacing felt a tad slow, but that rarely lasted for long and overall the pacing was steady. A few twists and turns to round things out quite well. If you're looking for a fun and cozy new mystery series, then Denise Swanson's Scumble River mysteries are it!
Series was recommended by a book lover on an discussion board. I enjoyed reading this book, not something you have to think about. Amusing without being knee slapping outrageous. Enjoyed the character development and history. Learning their secrets as the story unfolded. The interaction between all the characters were complete and kept you wondering. Loved the dive off the bridge and the little kid helping her. Had to adjust to the slow parts where the main character was giving history of the town and people. But, then it picked right up again. Ms. Swanson tells a story well and keeps your interest through the book. The small town feeling coming through the pages as you get to know everyone in the town.
It took me a few chapters to really get into this book. I really enjoyed the various quirky characters, especially the main character. The various aspects of the intertwining relationships really gives the reader an inside look into each character. This book had a unique mystery backstory. I could kind of guess who the murderer was, but the various suspects kept me guessing until the reveal. Overall, I enjoyed my time spent in Scumble River, and will most likely read the next book in series.
