Review
"No one can twist you through a maze with the intensity and suspense of Max Allan Collins."
Product Description
Early one quiet Monday morning, in an empty executive office, assistant Janice Denard begins to prepare for another ordinary day - but instead discovers evidence of horrific crimes, shocking photographs left abandoned in a printer. Now, with the help of the LVPD's computer forensics experts, the CSI team must track through hardware and software, deception and deceit to find the perpetrators. But while Willows and Stokes investigate the once well-hidden secrets now revealed in print, Grissom, Brown, and Sidle uncover new and disturbing evidence in a high-profile media case...the brutal murder of the Mayor's long-missing secretary.

This review is from: Body of Evidence (Mass Market Paperback)
If you like the T.V. show, you'll enjoy this book. I do and yet I still had trouble keeping everyone straight for the first half of the book. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the book.The author has really captured the characters from the t.v. show and expanded on them. He has also captured the forensics aspect. In this book Janice Denard begins to prepare for an ordinary day, but when she gets to work she discovers shocking photographs let abandoned in a printer. The CSI computer forensics expert helps the CSI team of Willows and Stokes track through hardware and software to find the culprit. Grissom, Brown and Sidle uncover disturbing evidence in the brutal murder of the Mayor's secretary that has been missing. The media is all over this case, and the Sheriff who is running against the Mayor has to remove himself from the case. There are a lot of twists and turns as the evidence leads them to the perpetrators in each case. I recommend this book.

The show is better than the book,
By
This review is from: Body of Evidence (Mass Market Paperback)
I don't ordinarily come down on the side of video over print, but in this case, I must. I bought this novel at the airport, read it on the plane, and still find myself tempted to copyedit it and send it back to the publisher with red pen markings aplenty. Folks who watch CSI are smart enough to want books that are intelligently crafted and carefully edited. I couldn't make it through three pages of this one without finding a typo or some other bush-league mistake. The characters should give life to this tale, but they lie flat on pages riddled with errors. Yawn.

Child pornography and a dumped body,
By MissGoWest (Munich, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Body of Evidence (Mass Market Paperback)
The Las Vegas Crime Scene Investigation team faces another two challenging cases. While Catherine Willows and Nick Stokes have to find out who printed child pornography photos in an advertising agency, C.S.I. supervisor Gil Grissom and team members Warren Brown and Sara Sidle work on another explosive case -- the murder of Candace Lewis, Mayor Harrison's personal assistant. During their investigations, one of Grissom's axioms shows them the right direction: "First on the scene - first suspect."Reading "C.S.I. Body Of Evidence" is almost like watching another episode of the original CBS drama "C.S.I." Max Allan Collins' description of the characters is true to their depiction in the TV series. The author does a great job of adding an emotional and psychological dimension. That way the reader learns more about the thoughts and motivation of the characters. Especially Catherine and Nick's case of child pornography touches a raw nerve for both of them, thus making their usual objectivity more difficult. Fans of the TV show as well as anyone enjoying thrilling murder mysteries will like this book.
