Murder of a Smart Cookie
by Denise Swanson

Yard sales can bring out the worst in people. Nobody knows this better than Scumble River resident school psychologist Skye Denison, organizer of the Route 66 Hundred Mile Yard Sale. Otherwise neighborly folk get downright nasty, fighting over plastic knick-knacks—even pulling rocking chairs right out from under little old ladies.

When her own mother creams a woman for suggesting her pies aren't the flakiest, and a battle of the sexes breaks out among her parents, best friends, and students, Skye knows things have gotten out of hand. But the worst is yet to come. Skye's former boss, Cookie Caldwell, has just been found murdered. And although the sheriff suspects Skye did it, nobody knows for sure how this cookie will crumble...
