Product Description
Product Description
"Nevada Rose" Demille was one of the most beautiful and desired sports groupies in Las Vegas, a fixture at the trendiest casinos and clubs on the Strip. But the endless party came to a tragic end the morning her nude body was found bound and gagged in her home. As crime scene investigators Catherine Willows and Warrick Brown dig deeper, all roads (and a growing media circus) lead to Mark Baker -- a.k.a. "The Fireball" -- a hard-throwing, Cooperstown-bound major-league pitcher and fancier of gorgeous women who recently conducted a very public affair with one "Nevada Rose" Demille....
Meanwhile, miles away on the grounds of a world-class championship golf course, Gil Grissom is probing the macabre discovery of a John Doe -- an intense investigation that will unearth a bitter sibling rivalry twisted by jealousy and distrust over a "Nevada Rose" of a very different nature....

For the fans,

This review is from: CSI: Nevada Rose (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is OK if you are a confirmed CSI fan. The author does not delve into the charaters very much so you have to know who they are and thier personalities before reading. Good story, some twists and turns, more like an episode of the show than a book.

Pretty Good,
By E. Nazario "Jewelwolf_1" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: CSI: Nevada Rose (Mass Market Paperback)
Max Allan Collins is the best writer for the CSI novels so far, but Jerome Priesler did a great job. I did find it weird that the cast was split into the swing shift and graveyard shift again. I enjoyed this more than the previous book, In Extremis, by another author.

Good Story, but...,

This review is from: CSI: Nevada Rose (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm a huge CSI fan, whether it is on TV, in novels, or graphic novels. I also enjoyed Preisler's work in his "Tom Clancy" series, so I was happy when the Amazon box containing this book showed up and sat down to start reading."Nevada Rose", as is typical of CSI episodes and books, follows two investigations. Both cases are interesting and the stories keep you reading; however, the CSIs in the book don't "feel" like the characters in the show or even in the other CSI novels -- there's just something a little "off" in the characterizations for me.

Plot just o.k., writing style uneven...,

This review is from: CSI: Nevada Rose (Mass Market Paperback)
I purchased this title because I had read many other of the CSI tie in novels and enjoyed them very much. This one was a disappointment. The plot was o.k., but the writing style was uneven and choppy. Many times tenses changed from one paragraph to the next, some sentences had an article missing or a pronoun deleted. The case for the author trying to write it as common speech could be made---if he had done a better job of it. All together it made for a very awkward read. I think this title (and author) could have used some serious editing. Try the CSI novels by Max Allen Collins or Donn Cortez instead.....
