If you're an avid Castle (the tv series) fan, then the book might be a slight disappointment. It's not a bad read, but it doesn't fully live up to the series. But if you haven't watched an episode of Castle, then you'll enjoy this book. After all, how often do you find humour in between the drama and suspense of catching a killer?
Jameson Rook is a reporter working on an article on America's finest (the police force), and is given the opportunity to shadow detective Nikki Heat. While Nikki finds him slightly annoying, he brings a fun element to an otherwise drab case solving process. Together they are investigating the death of a wealthy real estate agent, Matthew Starr, who was pushed out of his sixth floor apartment.
The story follows the way in which these detectives systematically follow the clues, in order to catch their killer. But being a detective doesn't mean that you can't be harmed, as Nikki finds out when she is attacked in her own home. Despite the fact that Rook is just a reporter, he sometimes provides insight which is otherwise overlooked by the detectives.
Can Nikki and her team succeed in closing this case?
I rate this book a 4/5. While the story is not exactly unpredictable, it is still a really easy read and it is interesting to read the book after following the series. Don't forget to read the dedication and acknowledgments if you are a Castle fan :)
