"Search for the truth has no cure."

I remember reading this series in Dutch back when the books were first being published about twenty years ago, and apparently I liked them enough to keep buying each sequel as soon as they appeared in the bookstore. I was browsing for titles I read over ten years ago for the POPSUGAR challenge when an episode of CSI came up on TV, and I had that eureka moment. Why not rereading Double Dealer and see if the series is still as successful for me in the present? I've always been a CSI Las Vegas fan, and while this book might not be perfect, I had so much fun meeting up with the characters that I personally didn't care about its flaws at all. The case itself is interesting, with the two seemingly different crime scenes that show similarities that make you wonder if they might be connected... It had been so long that I had forgotten about how everything wrapped up, which was a bonus of course. The dialogues and banter were entertaining, and the plot read like one of the TV episodes (with even some references to some things that happened in the first season). I had so much fun rereading the first book that I've decided to continue with the rest of the series as well!
