William Rabkin's "A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read", #30

This was a Psych tie-in novel. And an excellent one. Told mostly from Gus' point of view, it was funny, even hilarious in places. Sometimes, I laughed out loud, it was that good. The mystery was intriguing, one of the best that I've read in a long time. Both Gus and Shawn were true to their TV selves - Gus was frantic most of the time, Shawn on the other hand was laid back to the point of acting like an airhead from time to time, but never missing a thing. The only thing that I didn't like much was the revelation of the murderer itself, that felt overdone - too much craziness is just too much sometimes.

That sounds like preeeeetty much exactly what I look for in a tie-in. Alternate POV, sound characterisation and a sense of humour. \o/

I'll be buying this one!

I liked it a lot. I mean, it's no fanfic so there's no real fanservice, but it does feel like a good TV ep! :)
