Dead Of Winter
Kaminsky comes in cold to the CSI franchise and it is somewhat noticable.
Although it is a moderately enjoyable read, the characterisation is sometimes a little off, including the backstory to one of the pivotable leads, Stella Bonasera. Whereas fans of the show will know that she grew up in an orphanage with no family to speak of, Dead Of Winter suddenly creates 'aunts and cousins' who visit her occasionally...
As for Aiden Burn, her role is alot like that in the show. She's partnered with Mac on the case of man found shot to death in an elevator. She does well in the case, but, again, her dialogue and characterisation is slightly different.
Overall, Dead Of Winter is a good read, although I cant help hoping any future novels are better.
