Another fast, suspenseful and kind of yucky entry in this series. The medical and forensic details can be a bit stomach churning, but I like the pace and the tone of this series. I'm going to keep going with it and see how the characters develop.

I was enjoying the complexity of the plot until the ending came flying at me out of nowhere. It was like the author suddenly realized deadline was RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY SECOND. Most disappointing.

I really enjoyed this crime novel, fast-paced, exciting and interesting. The characters are different to the tv show, which is not necessarily a bad thing

This wasn't as suspenseful as the first book, but these are like suspenseful pieces of candy. They are written at a very readable level, so they really fast reads. Not the most intellectually stimulated I have ever been, but these are kind of like the romance novels of suspense books. Terrific beach read or if you just don't wan to have to think too hard.
