review 1: I thought this book was a pretty good addition to the psych novels. None of them are what I would call amazing, but if your a fan of the show, it is nice to read these especially since the show is no more. This being the last book in the series does make me kinda sad though, as it's the last new case of Shawn & Gus' I'll ever experience. I think that's why I waited so long to start this one, because even though it's not the show, the characters resemble the TV characters pretty well, and I miss them.Anyway, the story. I liked how each main character had at least a chapter written in their prespective. It was an easy read, and not a bad mystery. I'd suggested it to fans of the show who still want more Psych, but not to readers who've never watched it. Like the rest of the ... morebooks, I think you need to already know and love the characters to appreciate these 5 novels.
review 2: I've reviewed the previous Psych books and I can't say that this one was any better than the previous ones. My biggest complaint continues to be that the characterizations just don't match the TV show much at all. Gus is too timid and nervous and Shawn is not very bright in the books, which is not at all how the characters appear on the show.Like the previous books, the author does use the medium to his advantage and creates a bigger story than what is possible on a cable TV budget and much of this book takes place in San Francisco rather than the usual Santa Barbara (which, in real life looks nothing like Vancouver, where the show is filmed). There are actually three different and seemingly totally separate mysteries in this book, but I thought it was too cute by half when all three turned out to be related to each other. less
