This was a glorified episode of Castle, and I loved reading it just as much as I love watching the show. Obviously the names are different, but the characters are pretty much interchangeable between the show and the book: Nikki Heat=Kate Beckett, Jamison Rook=Richard Castle (Castle and Rook are also interchangeable and mean the same piece in chess!) Even Esposito and Ryan are the same in the novel as well as in the show. The one big difference is that Heat and Rook act on their feelings, rather then Castle and Beckett skirting around them. It was a pretty good who-dun-it, and had me guessing who did it, and I was wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, until the mystery was solved! It was great. I love when the crime is committed so well that it is nearly impossible to figure out, but still a totally plausible solution. I also liked putting the pieces together with Heat and Rook.
These characters were very likable and fun to work the mystery out with, and I am looking forward to reading the next book, in what will hopefully be a series (I am a sucker for series!!), Naked Heat. All in all I give this book an A for being fun, creative, and very entertaining. It was also a pretty quick read. I read it in about 3 or 4 days in my down time at work and before bed! If you like the show, then I think you will love this book!!
