Overview |
|
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 organisers have extended CSI head Gil Grissom an invitation he can't refuse. Joined by fellow investigator Sara Sidle, Grissom leave 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, Warwick Brown and Nick Stokes have uncovered trouble of their own. |

I've read one or two books based on TV shows before, and found them to be a pretty pale comparison, so this was a bit of a gamble. It paid off. The book reads exactly like an episode, although the odd swearword jarred a little. It was good to be able to get behind the faces on TV, even though you didn't really learn a lot more about the characters. As for the cases themselves: one body shot and burnt in the snow, and one defrosted 'corpse-sicle' in the desert. Both are murdered for the same reason – misplaced love, and there is an added tragedy in the snow, but the book ended on the same cheerful note as the episodes of the show. |
