"This book is only one book and follows the prosective of three different people, Alexis, Nick and Ruby. They are newest members of Portland's Search and Rescue team! They accidentally come across a dead body in the woods and decide secretly that they are going to try to figure out who the killer is.  Which is never a good choice. The backgrounds of the characters are also interesting! I recommend this book to people who like reading mysteries and people through middle and high school! "
