Where's Scooby-Doo When You Need Him?

"The Scream Museum" starts with someone already murdered which is the biggest mystery in the book. P.C. Hawke and his partner Mackenzie try to uncover clues in hopes to find out who the murderer is. They ask most of the characters where they were st the time of the murder and in time, they soon believe they have their man just like on an episode of Law and Order or CSI...but P.C. is mistaken. It's a neat suspenseful mystery novel. Well....at least it's mystery for ya. I could not put it down.

Excellent book

In my opinion the book The Scream Museum was excellent. This book was full of suspense and mystery.The setting of this book was well described. Characters in this book was also well described. I would recomend this book to any one who loves murder mysteries. Also to any one who would like to sit patiently and read such a great book.

The first book in a great new mystery series.

P.C. Hawke wants to be a professional detective when he grows up. His dad works at the Museum of Natural History in New York City, P.C. and his best friend, Mackenzie, have already helped solve one crime. When the chief biologist at the museum is murdered, P.C. and Mackenzie's friend Tom, a custodian who wouldn't hurt a fly, is apparently caught red-handed, they know he's been set up. They suspect that it may be either Mirsky or Congers, the two museum employees now fighting over the suddenly open position. P.C. and Mackenzie are determined to clear Tom's name by finding the real killer. But in the process, they uncover a web of deception that may put their own lives in danger. The first book in this new mystery series is full of thrills, chills, and more. I highly reccomend it.
