YA
Assistant to her father, a small-town Colorado coroner, Cammie delves into the forensic investigation surrounding the death of a popular teacher. Navigating Cammie's new relationship with a too-perfect boy and the imminent return of her long-absent mother, the plot gets bogged down in details and superfluous dialogue, then compensates with convenient resolutions. Still, the mystery will keep genre fans guessing.
