In The Christopher Killer, Cameryn Mahoney is hired by her father to become his assistant county coroner because of her interest in forensics and pathology. She proves herself quickly, but finds that this job may be more than she bargained for. When one of her friends is killed by a serial killer who leaves St. Christopher medals behind as his calling card, Cameryn realizes that the last thing she can do for her friend is to help find out who killed her. The suspects are many including a so-called psychic who has been tracking the case and the new county deputy who seems to have some kind of connection to Cameryn's estranged mother. Secrets upon secrets make this an interesting mystery, but it is not for the faint of heart. The forensic details presented in the story seem accurate but are also graphic. This is the first of a series of books by Alane Ferguson, and overall, is a very good middle grade mystery. ( )

Loved the entire series. ( )

Teen is taken on as her father's assistant in the coroner's office when a local girl is found murdered. This is the 4th in a series of murders by the so called Christopher killer who leaves behind a St. Christopher medal. Cammie proves to be quite adept at examining dead bodies and solving crimes. Teens who like to watch CSI and Criminal Minds will enjoy this one. Nothing too graphic so ok for the middle school crowd ( )

This is my second read. I forgot when I first read it.

Still a good read. ( )
