Grade 9 UpβCameryn Mahoney is startled when she finds a note addressed to her at a crime scene. The letter was left by Kyle O'Neil, a psychopath running from the law. The 17-year-old is the assistant to the coroner, but she is removed from the case since it now involves her. Unable to return to a normal life while O'Neil remains at large, Cameryn must put an end to his reign of terror. The protagonist is an interesting character. She is fascinated by forensics and impresses the medical examiner, who agrees to mentor her even though she's a teenager. She can be childish when she's upset and has a tendency to rush headlong into dangerous situations. The descriptions of the autopsies are not for the squeamish. Unfortunately, while this installment in the series is fast paced, it is predictable and shallow.βLori A. Guenthner, Baltimore County Public Library, Randallstown, MD
