Guy Langman, Crime Scene Procrastinator

By Josh Berk
Guy Langman, Crime Scene Procrastinator by Josh Berk digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Guy Langman can't be bothered with much. But when his friend Anoop wants Guy to join the forensics club with him in the (possibly misguided) hopes of impressing some girls, Guy thinks why not.

They certainly aren't expecting to find a real dead body on the simulated crime scene they're assigned to collect evidence from. But after some girlish, undignified screaming, the two realize it is indeed a body. Which means they have stumbled across a real, dead murder victim.

Meanwhile, Guy has been looking into the past of his father—a larger-than-life character who recently passed away. He was much older than Guy's mom, and had a whole past Guy never even knew about. Could his father's past and the dead body be linked? Does Guy want to know? He's going to need all his newfound forensics skills to find out . . .

Guy Langman, Crime Scene Procrastinator Reviews

3.0
“Poorly written. Contradicting details, weird pacing - the ‘murder’ doesn’t happen till 3/4 way through the book, red herring doesn’t even feel believable, main character tries to be funny but isn’t, and is super lazy, yet he’s supposed to be one of the top of his class - overall just comes across as annoying, the murder ends up being a suicide. There’s a large stretch made from coins being stolen (which the main character told the thief about anyway when he later says that he never tells people about it) to the thief being a blood crazed murderer hunting down the main character who then turns out to not be the thief and is actually the main characters brother and supposedly the nicest guy in NY, the actual thief just gives coins back and doesn’t face any consequences and as already said the red herring was laughable. And for a forensics squad it seems that all they learn about is how to take a fingerprint...that’s it... If it’s supposed to be a coming of age/contemporary story, don’t market it as a mystery... This book annoyed me, that’s the best way to sum it up. The only good thing about it is that I finished it, but I think that says more about me than it does about the book... Plot/pacing = poor Characters = poor Humour = poor Romance = poor Detecting skills/mystery = poor L **(1f but more frequency) M * S ** (vulgar jokes)”
