With a mom in forensics and a dad on the police force, it’s no wonder that fourteen-year-old Bailey McKenzie has her sights set on working in the field of law enforcement as well. When she and her friends are given the opportunity to be junior forensic interns for the summer with her mother leading them, Bailey jumps at the chance to get a start on her career.

But investigating a murder scene takes a personal turn when the team, specifically Bailey, comes under attack and their lives are placed in danger. As the team continues to try to put the pieces together, can they depend on God to help them figure out who the murderer is and catch the criminal before it’s too late? Or will Bailey’s dreams of fighting for justice never become a reality?

Bailey must follow the clues to answer these questions. But through it all, Bailey must learn to decide who she can trust and place her faith in the One who will never let her down.

Bailey McKenzie Review

Being a Special Victim Unit and Cold Case buff, this book drew me in even though its intended audience is young adult. Quit laughing, I’m not THAT far off. Well, I am but hey, it’s a good book. Following in her parents footsteps, Bailey is a teenage crime scene enthusiast. She attends an internship program to learn more about her passion. That is until things go wrong at a crime scene. This is truly an intriguing read that will keep your attention.
