Summary: Fire the editor
Review: The plot was a little flat, but it does remind the reader of how the TV show is done. However, the editing was HORRIBLE! (In one case, the doctor tells Catherine to look at a body's right arm, then starts talking about the bruising on the left arm.) Maybe I would have liked this book better if I thought someone had read it before it went to the publisher.

Summary: A Disappointing Entry in the Series
Review: The third CSI novel seperates our five heroes by thousands of miles. While Grissom and Sara attend a conference in upstate New York, Nick, Warrick, and Catherine investigate a body that was found in the desert after being missing for over a year. All they have to go on is that she was kept frozen for most of the past year. Meanwhile, Sara and Grissom's conference is snowed out, but that doesn't prevent them from stumbling on a burning body in the forest. With help from a Canadian CSI that arrived early, they set out to find the murderer while battling a vicious snow storm at the same time.As is typical of CSI, the movie and books, there really is no major mystery as to who the killers are. The storyline evolves through following the clues, but when the killers are eventually discovered, there is no surprise that will knock you over. In addition, I found the Grissom/Sara storyline to be very dull. There wasn't much they could do in the snow, and the whole concept of standing guard over a dead body until the snow stops killed about 100 pages of this book. The Las Vegas story was more interesting, but not by much. When the ending came, it was sudden and not surprising. This is not a bad book, but it is probably my least favorite of the CSI series.

Summary: Another Great CSI Adventure!
Review: When a park ranger discovers the naked body of a woman in the Lake Mead National Park, the Las Vegas CSI team is called in to investigate. With Grissom away at a convention, Catherine Willows heads up the unit to try and discover why this woman's body would be left in such a public place - as if someone wanted her to be found. Catherine, Warrick & Nick do not know who the Jane Doe is, but they know that she was suffocated and then frozen after she died so they have no idea how long ago she was killed. When they discover that she is Missy Sherman, the housewife who disappeared without a trace over a year ago, they try to sift through year-old clues, jog old memories and find some suspects. But, in the end, they are forced to rely on small bits of evidence to track down the killer... Meanwhile, in New York, Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle were lucky enough to make it to their hotel before a blizzard snowed them in. With the convention cancelled due to transportation issues, Grissom and Sara settle in to enjoy a weekend of rest when they stumble across the body of a man who has been shot and then set on fire in the snow. After a grueling stint guarding the body in the blizzard, a Canadian CSI teaches Sara and Grissom how to investigate clues in the snow. But with no backup and no crime lab to process the clues, Grissom has to use every bit of ingenuity he possesses to track down the killer before the blizzard ends and his killer is turned loose... I found this third book in the CSI series to be every bit as entertaining as the other books and the TV series. Collins does a great job at keeping the personalities of the TV characters consistent in the book and I can almost visualize how they would film the TV episode while I am reading. I enjoyed the Las Vegas plot with Catherine, Warrick & Nick more than the New York plot with Grissom & Sara, but it was interesting to find out how people process clues differently due to regional differences. If you enjoy the TV series you should enjoy the books - another great read by Collins!
