The Zoo Job by Keith R.A. DeCandido
3.0
If you miss the TV show as much as I do, you absolutely HAVE to read this book. It's a very good and well thought-out case.
Just be prepared that the characterisation might piss you off a bit, because all the way through the story and the case you might get the impression that the team doesn't like each other very much, let alone respect each other, when, at THAT point in the series, they're pretty much a family. And a wonderful one, too.
That's incredibly annoying and the reason why it's only three stars instead of four. I honestly don't agree with more than fifty percent of every character's internal monologue, and almost all of them come across as selfish, conceited assholes, which... no. Just no.
I really wish there were a way to bring the TV show back, but... yeah. Not going to happen, sadly.
