Publisher Description
Guy Langman can't be bothered with much. But when his friend Anoop wants Guy to join the forensics club with him in the (possibly misguided) hopes of impressing some girls, Guy thinks why not. They certainly aren't expecting to find a real dead body on the simulated crime scene they're assigned to collect evidence from. But after some girlish, undignified screaming, the two realize it is indeed a body. Which means they have stumbled across a real, dead murder victim. Meanwhile, Guy has been looking into the past of his father—a larger-than-life character who recently passed away. He was much older than Guy's mom, and had a whole past Guy never even knew about. Could his father's past and the dead body be linked? Does Guy want to know? He's going to need all his newfound forensics skills to find out . . .

"Guy Langman, Crime Scene Procrastinator is a young adult novel about a high schooler dealing with the recent death of his father and also trying to solve a murder. And it's funnier than I think that description might make it sound."

Guy Langman, Crime Scene Procrastinator Listener Reviews
-
" Funny read. Really enjoy Guy's voice and the author's use of male teenage dialogue. "
— Lesa, 2/19/2014 -
" I chose not to purchase this selection. Sometimes, the material is not compatible with your elementary school library goals. "
— Julee, 1/26/2014 -
" Was expecting something different. By the fifth chapter I was tired of the "boy" humor and what seemed to be a melodramatic plot. Summer is too short to stick with something I'm not enjoying. "
— Suzanne, 1/20/2014 -
" Guy, the biggest smart aleck in school, signs up for the Forensics Club just to meet girls but soon is caught up in the middle of a real life murder mystery "
— Kim, 1/8/2014 -
" It goes quickly, and I sort of liked Guy. The best part were probably the immature puns. I found the writing style overall to be a bit choppy, and I think that's what prevented me from really enjoying it. "
— Sinistmer, 12/18/2013 -
" sweet funny and just good "
— Cynthia, 12/13/2013 -
" This is very definitely fiction for "guys". I didn't appreciate the humor, but it wasn't written for readers like me. I can see some of my more reluctant readers totally getting the humor . "
— A., 3/9/2013 -
" Funny! (if you enjoy teenage boy humor like I do) "
— Maggie, 3/4/2013 -
" Really enjoyed this one. Guy's voice is spot-on. (Would give it 3.5 if I could.) "
— Monica, 1/6/2013 -
" This book had a great premise and an interesting cast of characters. But the characters and dialogue were ultimately cartoonish. I wound up skimming the second half of the book. "
— Dara, 10/11/2012 -
" Decent audiobook. I really started to like the main character by the end. The kids in it were mostly believable (with a few exceptions). Not great, but not bad. I'll forget it in a few weeks. "
— Anne, 3/22/2012 -
" Hilarious mystery of a NJ kid who joins a school Forensics squad and learns some life's lessons. Written for boys, with lots of bawdy boy humor. "
