By April Henry
This is the second book in a series by April Henry. Yet again we follow our three young Search and Rescue trainees as the venture towards certification. This time they begin by searching and finding a young missing child followed the next day with an evidence search on a murdered young woman from Nick's neighborhood.
Unfortunately, Nick becomes the main suspect when his Familial DNA is discovered on the body. That leaves the three young friends no other alternative to embroil themselves in another murder investigation. Alexis and Ruby know Nick could never kill somebody, he vomits when he sees blood and they know something does not jive. Nick's life is further up ended when he discovers that the father he idolized as a fallen war hero, is a murderer sitting in prison. The noose of evidence further cinches as the DNA match is affirmed and the police converge on Nick's home to take him into custody, but NIck escapes out a window.
Who else to help Nick but Alexis and Ruby, in the mean time the murderer is convinced he has to kill again and frame Nick even more. His victim of choice is one of the three musketeers. Do the cops figure it our on time? Do Nick, Alexis and Ruby live through another murder investigation?
This is a murder mystery novel and definitely not appropriate for younger students seventh grade and up is the ideal ages, it does skew female, even with the main character being male. I give this book a 3 out of 5 stars, it is entertaining but not really relatable for me.
