The Christopher Killer (Forensic Mysteries, #1)
by Alane Ferguson
by Alane Ferguson
Really not impressed. Only for a few reasons.
1. ...I read books about dragons, magic, the surreal reality; but, I refuse to read a book about a 17 year old who is a publicly unlicensed forensic pathologist. I'm sorry, you don't let a 17 perform an autopsy on on a murder victim. Even if she catches the murder (in 3 days?!) They'd throw out the case because she touched the evidence. I'm sorry. Did the state hire her? What is her degree?
It's not petty. The author is asking me to believe something that is stupid. It was an easy set up and for me it failed.
2. Stop repeating things. For instance Cam: "do you know who the girl is?" Patrick: "No they haven't touched her body" Next page: Cam: "Who's the girl?" Patrick: "I told you they can't touch the body till we get there" Patrick: "did you ID the victim?" Sherif: "We didn't touch the body, because we had to wait for you to get her"
WTF. Seriously? I'm not dumb. I can follow a story.
3. The writing was good sometimes, but it was pretty repetitive other times.
4. The cliff hanger endings were kinda terrible. "OMG HERE IS SOMETHING SO VERY OBVIOUS! NOW TURN THE PAGE!"...
Stop playing me for dumb.

lol, I tired to look past things that stood out... But when her Dad gave her a pep talk about perfoming an autposy on a girl that was her friend...wtf. I jumped off the "I'll believe this nonsense" train.
