The first of the tie-in CSI novels, and even if I've never cared much for mob stories, this one was leavened by science and so kept my interest. Although what with Grissom's specialty, I was a bit surprised that there wasn't anything on insects here, but maybe the author thought that was a little too obvious a focus to begin the tie-in series with. Given I'm a lot more interested in bugs than in bullets, however, maybe one of the later volumes will go that way.
I did like that there was a fairly even focus on all the characters, although Sara got a little less than the others, I think, which is a shame as she's my favourite by far. CSI is one of the few shows where I enjoy all the characters, though - none of them bore or irritate me (aka the Bran Stark effect) - so I'm happy with an even mix.
