Quick, Fun Read for CSI Fans!

It’s been a while since I’ve read a CSI book, and this was a good read for fans of the TV show, such as me. There are two storylines in the novel: one that Warrick and Catherine pursue, one that Nick, Sara, Grissom and Brass pursue. It’s basically like reading a very detailed episode, well-researched and fast paced. If you are not a fan of the show, you might find better crime novels elsewhere, but for fans like me this is a must read. My only gripe is that I couldn’t actually SEE Marg Helgenberger. Kick back. Enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars ( )

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" ( )
