Skye Dennison attends a free concert in Scrumble River where she overhears some concerning news. Some developer wants to put his own country music park in Scrumble River and the citizens are divided in their opinions. Some are concerned about the loss of good farmland and some applaud the jobs that will come to the area.

One of the singers at the concert is the potential up and comer, Suzette Neal. Suzette asks to speak with Skye after the performance. Suzette's mother was murdered 27 years ago in this very town. She wants to know who caused her mother's death and hopes Skye can help. Skye reluctantly agrees to investigate although she isn't sure what she can do after all this time.

When Suzette is found dead beneath a steam roller, Skye's investigation becomes more urgent. The guilt she feels for not taking Suzette's quest seriously propels her into this new investigation. Since Suzette's concern about the her mother's death might be a factor in her own current death, Skye and Wally decide they need to investigate both mysteries.

MURDER OF A CREPED SUZETTE is the latest in the ongoing Scrumble River series and is as enjoyable as the rest. We see Skye and Wally working together to solve the mystery with the style readers have grown to love. Simon is still in the background as well as all the other characters we have met in Scrumble River. The addition of Suzette's dog adds some amusing moments with Skye's cat. The usual chaos ensues as Skye goes on about her daily life while trying to solve two murders. As usual, the whole town will be shaken up by the her case.
