I think this was one of the better CSI novels that I have read. I would have said it was enjoyable but that seems quite inappropriate given the content of the novel. It was nice to see all of the graveyard shift team working together on a case rather than being split into different teams and working different cases. I do wish they would sometimes vary who works with who as even though this case was a team effort the characters still worked in smaller groups doing different things. The way it is written Warrick is usually paired off with Catherine while Sara and Nick go with Grissom. Sometimes it would be nice to see this varied although I do like the beginnings of hints about Grissom and Sara’s relationship - early in the book there is mention of Grissom having feelings towards Sara.
The case (or cases) in this book are very interesting to read and quite addictive. I like how CASt has a prior history with Brass – it’s nice to see more of his character. I do wish however, that Greg had more of a role in the books. I suppose that because he is still a ‘lab rat’ in the book world (as far as I have gotten) and not working in the field it is somewhat understandable that his role is not all that great. I hope he will have more of a role in future books.
I think the CASt killer is one of the more interesting of the killers. The scene at the end between him and Brass was great to read and I almost felt sorry for him. There was something nice about the way Brass said he would never shake his finger at him.
I also found some of the lines in the book very amusing which is nice light relief from the intensity of the storyline. One of my particular favourites is on page 190 – “Too bad this isn’t a tv show,” she said. “We could have the results after commercial....” - that really did make me smile because obviously CSI is a television show and they do, on screen at least, get there results back quite quickly.
