This could be a problem, so I suggest you read The Christopher Killer first. The Angel of Death is actually a sequel to The Christopher Killer, and you can really start on either, but if you start on The Angel of Death, like I did, you will miss some of the finer plot details at first. Cameryn has to figure out what is happening fast, or Cameryn’s life may be in danger as well.

All the pressure falls on Cameryn’s shoulders, for she is the only one who seems to be able to talk to Kyle, the only one that seems to know anything about the murder. No one can seem to find the cause of death for the teacher, who looks like he has been cooked alive in his bed. All of this is happening while she is trying to solve one of the most baffling murders anyone- her father, her, or the mortician- has ever seen. Her mother, whom Cameryn has never met, is also attempting to come to visit her, making things all the more complicated. Cameryn quickly gets into a complicated romance with the Eagle Scout, while also trying to keep this from the interest of her father. The person who found the body is Kyle O’ Neil, one of the teacher’s scouts. This detail is dismissed because of scavengers, but becomes prominent later on when the body of Cameryn’s English teacher is discovered in his house, with the same strange feature. It seems like a routine disposal, except for one thing: the dog’s eyes are missing. Not the most glamorous of jobs for the assistant of the coroner. The story starts with the main character of this book, Cameryn Mahoney, doing a check on a dead animal found by the road in the mountains near her home in Colorado. However, I still recommend that you read this book, or you will miss out on a riveting, balanced, intricate, and overall well written book. When I say the word “mystery”, the first thing that is likely to come to your mind is something like Sherlock Holmes, not The Angel of Death by Alane Ferguson, published by Sleuth Speak (a subsidiary of Penguin Group) in 2007.
