38. Back from the Dead – Carol Gorman

I have liked every book by Carol Gorman I’ve read thus far and this one was no exception. It’s got lots of fun stuff to work with: popular teens who are total dicks and burn down a cabin with an unpopular teen inside, intriguing investigations taken on by the honorable girls of the school newspaper, mystery solving via breaking and entering to look for a typewriter (basically), and the hysterical popular girl – Nikki – who acts just like all actual mean popular girls trying to cover up a murder. One thing I realized as I was finishing it though, I recalled that Heath had no dental records and was not the real murderer (spoiler alert) or a ghost murderer, but I’m not sure it was ever truly established that he was definitely dead. Perhaps this imaginary town elected a coroner with no medical training.
