Guy Langman, Crime Scene Procrastinator by Josh Berk
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Guy Langman, Crime Scene Procrastinator is part mystery, part coming of age, and part comedy. Guy himself is a very likeable character, who is going through a rough time. He’s just lost his dad, (he died, he has not been misplaced) and he’s learning to cope with that. His best friend Anoop gets him to join the Forensics club at school, and that’s when the fun begins. There are a couple of mysteries, some definite characters, an unrequited love, and sunken treasure. Overall, I enjoyed the story a lot. The humor was right on, and I enjoyed getting to know the main characters. The one problem I had with the book is that the passage of time feels a bit wonky. I couldn’t get a feel for how much time was passing, or what time of year it was. It just kind of threw me off. Other than that, I think this would be a good book to recommend to a teen who likes funny mysteries.
