This is sort of a Veronica Mars fanfic. I love the show and think it would be cool if there was a person in real life who was like Veronica. Writing a story doesn't make it real, but I thought this would be fun. The only references to Veronica Mars and other characters will be references to the show. My main character will seem like her, but I hope some differences are noticeable.
Ember Thompson is a high school student with an interesting day job. Instead of flipping burgers or working a register like most teens she works for her dad at his private investigator's office.
When one of her classmates is murdered and someone steps from the woodwork and confesses her dad wonders if the real killer has been found. Ember notices a slight discrepancy in the confessed killer's story and agrees with her dad. She utilizes all the skills she's learned as she sets out to find the real killer.
