Remote. Peaceful. Picturesque. That's how the Mumford Mountain Hotel bills itself in its brochure, and it lives up to its billing -- most of the time. But this year, the hotel is hosting a prestigious conference for the study of forensic science, and the organizers have extended CSI head Gil Grissom an invitation he can't refuse. Joined by fellow investigator Sara Sidle, Grissom leaves the department in the capable hands of Catherine Willows and heads east. But he and Sara soon find themselves in all too familiar territory -- and back in Las Vegas, Catherine, Warrick Brown, and Nick Stokes have uncovered trouble of their own.… (more)

A solid media tie-in (the third) in the CSI series. It's a month before Christmas in Vegas. Grissom and Sara are off to a conference in Upper New York. Where there's snow and lots of it. They then manage to find a dead guy in a forest during a nature walk.

At the same time back in Vegas, Nick, Warrick, Catherine, and the gang are trying to solve a body dump case that turns into a former cold case and then even more.

For the most part the characters were all written well. Collins generally does a good job with that side of things. And of course the plot, especially for the Vegas mystery, was very --self-contained--. I always forget how tightly the episodes and the book plots are written. Unlike in real life there never seem to be any random things, any outliers in the CSI world. A little disconcerting for sure.

There was also some really nice Grissom/Sara subtext going on in the pages too. And the end (the last few lines, not the climax) was great. ( )

Another good, fast read in the CSI series of books.

Grissom and Sara Sidle are off to the wilds of outer New York to attend a forensic conference, but when a record snowstorm strands them, along with a Canadian forensic expert and the owners of the Mumford Mountain Hotel with a dead body and numerous suspects, things get a little dicey.

Back in Las Vegas, Catherine, Nick, and Warrick are dealing with a missing persons case that's turned into a homicide investigation with the discovery of the wealthy housewife's body.

Well worth the read! ( )

Not likely to be appreciated by the average reader, TV show fans will enjoy having another "episode" ( )
