    A year into Samantha True’s forensic photography classes she knows three things:

    2.   Especially when you throw up on them. 
    3.   She may not be cut out for this.

    A laugh-out-loud mystery that will keep you guessing and quickly turning the pages. One Hit Wonder offers the just right reader escape, but fair warning, this book leaves readers wanting more.
