A review by wyemu
CSI: Double Dealer by Max Allan Collins
2.0
As an avid watcher of CSI (in all of its incarnations) for many years obviously I wanted to read the accompanying works of fiction as well.
Personally, I find it hard to write a full review of books such as these, it's hard to talk about character development, scene setting etc. when all of those things are taking place on the screen over the course of seasons.
So, for me, the most important thing with a book based on a TV series, such as this one, is whether the voices and actions of the characters in the book, ring true to what we'd expect of them based on the series. Collins is no amateur when it comes to writing from a series and, in this book, he's done well to take those characters and portray they as faithfully as possible.
Other than that, all I can think to say is that the crimes, and the solving of them, were interesting and worked well.
