Constable Zero takes charge of this case because it's not a murder investigation and, at first glance, this is an attempted suicide case. Madeleine had called the police but she worries the truth about a previous death will come to light. Zero investigates this case while juggling personal struggles and issues at work. The story also features different character perspectives to provide readers with an overall view of the narrative, following their mental state and motivations. The police procedural story is heavily female-based due to the stereotyped themes explored such as abused girls, gender dysmorphia, and chauvinistic men.

MURDER @ WORK reminded me of a good old-fashioned mystery story.

The story takes place in new South Africa. Christine is very frustrated working in her place of employment. Her boss is nasty and mean. She is looking forward to a vacation in Greece with her husband and going to a math convention to present a paper, because her love is math.

Her boss revokes her time off and then dies. Christine needs to find the murderer so she won't have to miss her vacation.

The story was good but does not contain a lot of action; however, it's still fun trying to solve the mystery and put together the clues before Christine does.

Overall, the book is a good one, but I don't know that it will necessarily appeal to a majority of teens.… (mehr)
