In the small town of Silverton, Colorado, lives a teenage girl names Cameryn Mahoney. She's kind of an odd duck, living with her coroner father and her Irish Catholic Meemaw (Grandma). Cameryn is fascinated with forensic science, and somehow convinces her father that she would be perfect as his assistant. When Cameryn visits her first crime scene with her father, she becomes ill. Since that went so well, her father takes her to observe an autopsy for a murder victim recently found in the woods. This victim turns out to be Cam's friend Rachel, murdered by the mysterious Christopher Killer, who leaves a St. Christopher's medal on all his victims. Can Cameryn and her brilliant instincts discover who the Christopher Killer is before she too, becomes a victim?

Of course she can! Otherwise how would there be sequels? I had to make myself finish this book. Cameryn is not an impressive heroine. She supposedly has read tons of forensic texts, has seen graphic pictures of crime scenes, studies forensic science constantly, but becomes convinced of the supernatural by a shady tv psychic. She also comes off as a snob with her fellow high school students, especially a goth-type loner her best friend likes. And then, wammo! Cameryn figures it all out! In less than 3 days she has the mystery solved, all neat and tidy. She was thoroughly dislikable and I doubt I will be reading any more of this author's work. - Melinda Dye, review for Mystery
