Florida Getaway by Max Allan Collins

I'm a massive fan of CSI, even if CSI:Miami is my least favourite, so when I realised there were accompanying books I leapt at the chance. Collins knows what the characters are like and how they speak. It's evident he's researched the show. It was great reading new stories about some of my favourite characters. Overall, they're a good, easy read that require practically no imagination because you already know the people and their history.

If you like the show, you'll like the book. The author did a very good job at making the characters the same as they are in the show, he obviously did his research. This book only focusses on one case, but it was interesting from start to finish, complete with plot twists, and I enjoyed watching it all come together as you came closer to the end

"Ik vond vluchtgevaar een aangename afwisseling om het jaar mee af te sluiten. Het boek is absoluut niet zwaarwichtig of moeilijk en heeft me enkele aangename uren leesplezier bezorgd!"

The one problem I had with this is that Caine is speaking to a computer and giving it instructions on what to do and he says things like "Zoom four times". On the next line he says "Double tap" and the lab assistant responds in an odd way. You don't find out until later that "Double tap" wasn't an instruction for the computer, it was the way the guy was killed. They could have made this much more clear.
