    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.

    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.
