Just like Miami, this story has a little of everything, scuba, dolphins,
pools,paintball,sharkguns,movie fanatics,a "sea monster",fetish clubs,
a peeping Tom and the Miami Crime Lab has to deal with them all and then
some. I finished this book in 2 days, it would have been faster, but I
was also reading another. Enjoy the Miami heat and be surprised at the
ending.

This review is from: Riptide (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) (Mass Market Paperback)

After reading this book, I find that the author has tried to explain the relationships in the original series. He did a good job explaining what different equipment was and how it worked while making it a nice addition to the story line. The author did a very nice job and kept me guessing through the whole story about who-dun-it.

This review is from: Riptide (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the first CSI: MIAMI title I've read by author Donn Cortez, and I truly enjoyed it. In my opinion, Mr. Cortez does a much better job than author Max Allan Collins at characterization and getting inside the minds of both the CSI players and the people involved in the particular case.

The plot line of RIPTIDE is strange but believable, with a perpetrator who is obsessed with a merman from an old film. The only thing that kept this book from being a 5-star read was the ending, which, although plausable, was too quickly wrapped up in only a few sentences.
