Art class meets a crime investigation

Kate Carter’s skill with art takes an unexpected turn when an elective in forensic sketching leads her toward criminal profiling. After her drawing helps police catch a wanted murderer, her newfound public attention is complicated by signs that the case may not be over—and by a local news anchor’s persistent bouquets. The premise combines a teen’s school-life talents and sarcasm with a crime-centered threat, while keeping questions of safety and ordinary life close to the surface.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teen readers interested in young adult crime fiction and criminal profiling.
  • Readers who enjoy stories that connect art and school life with a police investigation.
  • Readers looking for a teenage lead whose humor and personal complications sit alongside suspense.

Book overview

Drawing Conclusions or Drafting Disaster?Other than harboring a somewhat obsessive fondness for Crispix and completely swearing-off boys after a bad date (don't ask), sixteen-year-old Kate Carter is about as ordinary as they come, except for her two notable talents: art and sarcasm. After an introduction to forensic sketching in her elective art class, Kate discovers a third and most unexpected gift: criminal profiling. Her photo-quality sketch helps the police catch a wanted murderer and earns her celebrity status in South Woodhaven Falls. But when that murderer appears to be using his friends to exact revenge, Kate goes from local hero to possible target. Will she manage to survive? Will life ever be normal again? And will local news anchor Ted Deffle ever stop sending her flowers?
