Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
When Skye Denison's brother forms a band called Pink Elephant, the town goes wild-maybe too wild. First, a groupie turns stalker, seducing the band members one by one. Then, one of the Pink Elephants winds up murdered. Who's to blame? Everyone seems to think it's the drummer-and now Skye has to clear her brother's name.

For a light mystery this series has been very enjoyable. The killer isn't someone from out of town but a well known resident. I like that in these books. She makes her characters real down to earth.

This is a good book. It is what it is, light and enjoyable reading.

This book, the very first in this series that I've read, was okay. The plot was paper-thin, and there wasn't enough tension to keep me turning the pages. However, Swanson's writing is smooth.
Swanson's characters need more development to make them compelling, and I felt that she treated them as naive country bumpkins. Just because someone lives in a small town doesn't make them ignorant or unsophisticated.
Not a winner, but definitely in the running.

Skye Denison, school psychologist thought she had trouble with her job, but she actually had it easy compared to her brother Vince.
Normally a hairdresser, Vince and his band, formerly known as the Plastic Santa's have renamed themselves as the Pink Elephants and are playing at the Valentine Dance at the high school. That is if he and his band can stop beating each other up.
Things get really hot when a fire breaks out at the high school and Logan Wolf, lead singer winds up dead.
Skye is determined not to get involved in the investigation, but when Sheriff Wally seems to have Vince in his sights again as the murder suspect, Skye decides she has to act.
Could Logan's murder have anything to do with the rumors of drugs in the school? Or maybe it had something to do with Logan refusing to sell Moss Green his farmland so Moss could put up Pig In A Poke - his amusement park.
Wally isn't too pleased with her investigations, he's running for mayor and he's hassled at every press conference about the fact that he can't solve a crime and has to rely on a citizen to do the investigating.
Even after several attempts on her life, Skye continues her search until she comes face to face with the murderer.
Highlights:
Skye's family. Her parents and godfather Charlie and brother Vince are very close and obviously adore Skye.
Sheriff Wally. I've like him since the very first book, he doesn't mind Skye investigating usually, but doesn't like the fact that she takes unnecessary risks.
Justin And Frannie, two somewhat geeky high school students who work on the school paper and do a lot of undercover investigation. They come across a lot of clues that they then pass on to Skey.
May's cement goose that she dresses up on her front lawn.
Lowlights:
Skye - I'm beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with this woman. She surprised at her brother censure of Logan sleeping with a groupie, after all Vince has quite a reputation. Skye obvioiusly doesn't think there is a difference between the single Vince being with someone and the married Logan being with someone.
Skye gets into trouble several times when she should have given some information to Wally, he didn't answer her phone calls and when she went to the station she realized his ex-wife Darleen was intercepting the messages, so subsequent time when she really needs to tell him something and he doesn't call her back, does she go to his house and tell him? Of course not, she'll do it in the morning, afterall what could happen before then? Justin and Frannie show more intelligence in their investigating than she does.
Bunny - the mother of Simon (Skye's boring boyfriend). Fortunately, she is only in a few pages of the book. I cannot stand this character, Skye finds her refreshing after having to put up with her overbearing mother. I suppose she would have liked it if her mother ran out on her and her father, came back several times and ran off again, the last time twenty years ago when she not only ran off but took all the money out of her husband's savings account. That's the kind of mother Bunny was to Simon.
As I said in my earlier review of this series. Skye picked the wrong boyfriend. Simon, local funeral parlour owner and coroner is ok, but there are absolutely no sparks between Skye and him.
Skye seems so flaky at times that I would wonder about her abilities at her job in helping troubled kids.
This is a strange series where I find that everyone but the heroine, her boyfriend and his mother are so wonderful you want to continue reading about them. The mystery itself is very good. A lot of clues but no cheating on the ending, although I suspected who the killer was but wasn't confirmed until the end.
It's not too late to dump Simon and his mother.
