Just loved IT!!!

An very easy read for the kids who have to have reading counts. A real nail bitter, once you get started you can't put it down. Very suspenseful!!!

WONDERFUL BOOK FOR YOUNG READERS! from author of EXPLOSION IN PARIS, Linda Pirrung

I ordered this and several other books by this author for my granddaughter. Alane Ferguson is one of her favorite authors and she insisted that I read several of her books. I did and was completely impressed. Her books kept me glued to her pages...and tastefully done for young formative minds. I highly recommend!

If you are a fan of CSI, then this series is for you! THE ANGEL OF DEATH is the second book in the FORENSIC MYSTERY series by Alane Ferguson (following Christopher Killer: Forensic Mystery 1 (Forensic Mystery)). Seventeen-year-old Cameryn Mahoney is deeply involved in the investigation into the death of her high school English teacher. She is the assistant to the county coroner, who happens to be her father. They have been called to the home of her teacher to examine what the sheriff describes as the "bizarre condition" of the decedent's body. The case is treated as a homicide, and Cameryn joins her father in everything from evidence collection to participation in the autopsy. Her future plans are to be a medical examiner, and thanks to past involvement in her father's cases, she is fairly knowledgeable. Ferguson doesn't limit the plot to the unusual death of the teacher; Cameryn's life has other interesting complications, as well. Her mother left when she was four years old and is about to make a reappearance in their lives. Kyle, one of the most popular boys in Cameryn's school, is suddenly interested in starting a relationship with her. In addition to those problems, Cameryn's best friend, Lyric, is not exactly acting normal. Readers who like an intriguing mystery, a good dose of "gory" detail, and a bit of romance will definitely enjoy this one. Reviewed by: Sally Kruger, aka "Readingjunky"

Great Ending

I loved the first book and this one is even better. It keeps you guessing right to the end. I'm ready for the next one.

What a great story!

This is the second in the author's series of forensic mysteries, and both books are absolutely terrific. Cammie, the main character, is a completely real kid who leads a life readers can aspire to. She's a true friend, even when it's socially difficult, she's sure of what she wants to do with her life and she's working toward her future with determination and grit. She's a little intimidated by authority figures but stands up for herself when she knows she's right. I really like Cammie and want to read more about her! Author really did her homework on the forensic details, too. Really cool descriptions and the mystery was well-done. Love these books! Write faster, Alane Ferguson!!
