The Angel of Death is the second forensic murder mystery starring Cameryn Mahoney, a a teenage coroner's assistant. Now you're probably wondering how a teenager could be an assistant, but if you consider the fact that they live in a very tiny town surrounded by the mountains, and the fact that her father is the town's coroner, then it doesn't seem so strange.
Cammie, at 17, is dead set (pardon the pun) on going into forensic science...even after the grisly discovery of her favorite English teacher, murdered in his bed.
As the story progresses, the case grows colder while her relationship with one Kyle O' Neil heats up. Did I mention that Kyle is the one who found the body? Or that the body had been partially cooked?
Ms. Ferguson has done an extraordinary amount of research and it shows in the details of the crime scene and the autopsy. Part of me wanted to skip over these sections but there was a clinical side of my brain held captive, trying to piece together the answers before they were revealed.
If you're a fan of CSI, Criminal Minds, or just about any of the crime dramas on TV, then you'll enjoy this book.
