Part 1 of the Samantha True Mystery series
Do your job or move along already. Trouble is, I'm in too deep to do either one.
A year into Samantha True's forensic photography classes she knows three things:

3. She may not be cut out for this.
When the police drag her to an investigation, she's just as baffled by the scene. With clues like superhero masks, disco balls, and Bigfoot, are they ever going to find who did it?
As she digs deeper into the photographic evidence, she realizes her small town is full of secrets. And she might be happier staying in the dark.
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.
