Gave this a 3 but maybe it should be a 2.5 stars. It was enjoyable but not very memorable. It was an ok read to get my CSI fix.

I hate to sound like I’m flogging a dead horse each time that I review one of the CSI tie-ins that I have in the pile (and there’s still at least one of these left. Well, for this show, anyway), but these are pretty much my literary palate cleansers. Easy reads, don’t require too much thinking on my part, and I’ve never had the sense of “Oh dear God, I gotta slog through this because of my own personal reasons” while reading them. (Kinda like why CSI rerun marathons were the preferred background noise while me and my roommates would study in front of the TV during senior year in college.)
This is actually a pretty solid book, as far as my experience with tie-in novels have gone. Both of the plots are strong, with decent twists and turns to each mystery. I really enjoyed the foiled assassination plot of a news mogul, despite the potential blood-pressure raising inclusion of the some of the main suspects, but then there’s a good number of twists involved that even the most obvious answer comes as a surprise. The arson case isn’t as strong, and that mystery feels like the weaker of the two, but I still enjoyed reading the twists and turns. The missing persons case is more par for the course and straightforward, but I still liked it. Again, the only thing I really didn’t get into was the more character-driven plotlines, but that’s more due to me falling out from keeping up with the show.
In any case, decent read, and a nice little break from the majority of my other books in the stack.

I liked this book for the characters from the show and their relationships. A peak in their head. found the plot somewhat dissapointing. it did not interest me very much.
