Being a coroner’s assistant means that Cameryn has seen more gore than your average seventeen-year-old. But even Cammie is shocked when Kyle O’Neil, the most popular guy in school, discovers the gruesome corpse of their English teacher murdered in his own bed. As Cammie gets involved in the case, she finds herself drawn to Kyle, and considers trusting him with the secret that she can’t even tell her father. But when their relationship starts to move toward romance, the struggle to solve the case of her teacher’s death intensifies. Will Cameryn be too preoccupied to identify the killer in time?

Fantastic Forensic Thriller!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Angel of Death: A Forensic Mystery (Paperback)
The Angel of Death, The Penguin Group 2007, 256 pp., $6.99
Alane Ferguson ISBN 978-0-14-241087 Imagine you are Cameryn, the coroner's assistant (but you are his daughter too!) and you are really really good at forensic science. You are calm, thoughtful and mature in the presence of death. Then one day, you are called to the scene of your old English teacher's murder. His corpse is horrifically mangled into a weird position, which makes you loose your cool. Later on, you talk to the guy who found the body, Kyle O'Neil, who happens to be the most popular guy in school! That is how The Angel of Death begins. As a relationship starts between Cameryn and Kyle, she struggles to find the killer while the case grows colder and colder. She begins talking to her mother who abandoned Cameryn and her father 14 years before - behind her father's back! - and her best friend won't talk to her. The stress might just make her crack! Will she be too preoccupied to identify the killer in time? The Angel of Death is filled with suspense, drama, mystery and friendship as 17-year old Cameryn struggles to sew her life back together while searching for a killer! I recommend girls ages 11 and up read this fantastic forensic mystery. BEWARE! This book is not for the faint -hearted! - it gets gross in some places with the forensic details.

This review is from: Angel of Death: A Forensic Mystery (Paperback)
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 THE CHRISTOPHER KILLER).
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"

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!
