When a woman’s body is found at the bottom of a hotel air shaft in Times Square, it looks like a routine suicide. Enter Detectives. Lennie Briscoe and Ed Green.

reviewed & rated 8/10

I just finished reading this book. I have to say that I was surprised at how well it was written. Most books that spin off shows or movies aren’t really that great. They don’t capture that certain something that the show/movie has. But as you read, you could actually imagine yourself in the court room watching everything. It was so well detailed, and it explained everything they were talking about. I guess you would have to be a real fan of the show(s) or be a reader to know what I’m talking about. But in reading this, I found that they took too long to get to the point of the case. Not enough evidence was found, they didn’t have a motive, they gave the run around to much. But it all came together toward the end. It was a very educational trial. It explained a lot how the whole publishing business works. (read it to know what I am talkin about). The characters were very well captured. They were exactly the way they are in the show. Personalities and all. I wonder tho, whether the author looked into what the plans were for their individual personalities. Because you learn a lot of new stuff about Jack and Serena. I don’t know. But it was a great read. And I finished it in a week. Have NEVER done that before. It usually takes me forever. That’s how good it was.
