A note for parents
This is the second book in Ferguson's Forensic Mystery series featuring a teen coroner's assistant confronting a stalker/killer from a previous case. The story contains moderate violence and suspense suitable for older teens interested in mysteries and forensic science. The protagonist demonstrates resilience and critical thinking, and the educational content about death investigation is presented respectfully. However, the stalker threat and darker themes make it better for mature readers around age 14+.
