If you like the T.V. show, you’ll enjoy this book. I do and yet I still had trouble keeping everyone straight for the first half of the book. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy the book.

The author has really captured the characters from the t.v. show and expanded on them. He has also captured the forensics aspect.

In this book Janice Denard begins to prepare for an ordinary day, but when she gets to work she discovers shocking photographs let abandoned in a printer. The CSI computer forensics expert helps the CSI team of Willows and Stokes track through hardware and software to find the culprit.

Grissom, Brown and Sidle uncover disturbing evidence in the brutal murder of the Mayor’s secretary that has been missing. The media is all over this case, and the Sheriff who is running against the Mayor has to remove himself from the case.

There are a lot of twists and turns as the evidence leads them to the perpetrators in each case.

I recommend this book.
