Review:
I love a good mystery and I love a good thriller. This book is both. Cammie’s father is the county coroner, and Cammie loves to get into his work. She is fascinated with the dead, how the died, and who did it. She believes every body has story and it is her job to tell it. Cammie also loves to figure things out and do things on her own, which always lands her in trouble.
Cammie seems to be down to earth, real good head on her shoulder, most of the time. She does love to find trouble. She is smart and snarky and very independent. There are a bunch of characters to love in this book. Each character has their own personality with their own quirkiness and fun. They all seem to work together in solving the crime. Even down to her best friend.
The book is quite detailed. The author did a great job in describing and explaining all the aspects of what Cammie and her father do. There were times the details were a bit to stomach, but I did get through it. The writing really flows, it’s a fast paced read and it’s just fun. I love this series.
