Summary: A Disappointing Entry in the Series
Comment: The third CSI novel seperates our five heroes by thousands of miles. While Grissom and Sara attend a conference in upstate New York, Nick, Warrick, and Catherine investigate a body that was found in the desert after being missing for over a year. All they have to go on is that she was kept frozen for most of the past year. Meanwhile, Sara and Grissom's conference is snowed out, but that doesn't prevent them from stumbling on a burning body in the forest. With help from a Canadian CSI that arrived early, they set out to find the murderer while battling a vicious snow storm at the same time.

As is typical of CSI, the movie and books, there really is no major mystery as to who the killers are. The storyline evolves through following the clues, but when the killers are eventually discovered, there is no surprise that will knock you over. In addition, I found the Grissom/Sara storyline to be very dull. There wasn't much they could do in the snow, and the whole concept of standing guard over a dead body until the snow stops killed about 100 pages of this book. The Las Vegas story was more interesting, but not by much. When the ending came, it was sudden and not surprising. This is not a bad book, but it is probably my least favorite of the CSI series.

Summary: Excellent addition to the series
Comment: I've read all of the CSI books by Mr. Collins and I think this may be the closest to the series out of the lot. I thoroughly enjoyed the case Catherine, Nick and Warrick were working on. It had many suspects and several revelations that made me raise my eyebrows in surprise.

The Grissom-Sara case, on the other hand... well, let's just say I think Mr. Collins has gotten into those 'cozy mysteries' he had Sara reading in the book. It was slow, in my opinion. Extremely slow. By the time he finally got into the clues that led to solving the case, the reader had already deduced what had happened. But let's face it... not every forensics case can be an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride.

I still say people should definitely buy this book. The characterization was great and the surprises in Catherine's case made up for what Grissom's lacked.

Rating: 4
Summary: Great read for fans of the CSI show....
Comment: This book remained true to the characters and the storylines that make this show a hit. This book managed to hold my interest very well and I found myself unable to put it down, even when I felt my eyelids drooping from sleepiness. I would definitely reccomend this book to any fan of the show. Great book!
