Skeleton Creek: The Crossbones by Patrick Carman



Skeleton Creek is back and better than ever.  In this third installment of the series we find that Sarah has moved and Ryan is working at his dad’s new fishing store.  Old Joe Bush has left Ryan a clue that he and Sarah must follow to solve the true mystery of The Crossbones.  Told in a series of journal entries written in the book and videos that you watch online, this is a true horror / mystery story.
I loved this book.  The 1st Skeleton Creek was fantastic.  The journal entries suck you in and the videos scare the heck out of you.  The 2nd book wrapped up one mystery but the ending left me feeling flat.  This 3rd book has redeemed the series.  Ryan’s journal is compelling and Sarah’s videos are so frightening that I thought Old Joe Bush might be outside my window.  There is no blood and guts, but the shadows and glimpses of possible ghosts give the videos and erie and frightening quality that you don’t get from seeing gore.  This book is a must read for anyone who likes ghost stories and mysteries.
