This is another interesting, two-fold storyline book in the CSI series.

While Brass, Grissom, Nick, and Sara deal with the body of a murdered woman found in a coffin (which wouldn't be so bad, except that it's not the body that was SUPPOSED to be in there!), Catherine and Warrick are working to uncover whether a death at a nursing home is natural, or had a little help.

This is another quick read, and pretty interesting. The character development was good, and it had a believable and decent mystery. (

One of the better CSI tie in novels set around a wrongly interred body and a nursing home death with the usual CSI style forensic science. (

Another good media tie in novel. The characters are well written to match the series and the story feels very much like it could be an episode, although in some ways that's a little disappointing as I think that one of the plusses of media novels is that they can go places the series can't afford to. But a good read with the usual csi twists and turns. (

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

Rebecca Bennett, the estranged stepdaughter of a well-to-do Las Vegas businessman, is hounding the Las Vegas Police Department to reopen the investigation into her mother Rita's death -- alleging that, despite appearances to the contrary, Rebecca's greedy stepfather actually played a hand in Rita Bennett's untimely end. But no one is prepared for the news that CSIs Gil Grissom, Sara Sidle, and Nick Stokes report -- their investigation is inconclusive...because the disinterred deceased is not Rita Bennett. Meanwhile, at the Sunny Day Continuing Care Facility, Catherine Willows and Warrick Brown must investigate the sudden demise of Vivian Elliot -- a patient whose death may be the result of unnatural causes....
