Raging Heat by Richard Castle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I eagerly anticipated the next book in the Nikki Heat series. I was not the only one for my library had a long waiting list.

Raging Heat is another clever publishing tie-in to the TV series with the opening murder done more imaginatively than might be able to do with the budget from a tv episode. The time setting for the book as Hurricane Sandy approaches keeps the book current and Sandy provides additional threats.

I recommend it to fans of both the book series and the television series.

Deadly Heat by Richard Castle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I look forward to the newest Nikki Heat novel, Deadly Heat because I find the novels as entertaining as the TV series. If you are not a fan of the series, this book may take a bit of gettin' used to for it assumes you know the characters from both the book series and the storyline of the TV season on which this novel is based.

I keep reading because I enjoy the lightness and humor of the dialogue and the narration. This is entertaining, and I enjoy it.

I recommend it for fans of both the book series and the TV series.

Frozen Heat by Richard Castle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed the other Nikki Heat books by Richard Castle and I eagerly anticipated reading Frozen Heat.
It's entertaining and fun. Would I enjoy this mystery if I were not already a fan of the tv series? Yes, the mystery is well-structured and it has good pacing. Fictional character growth is limited by the changes in the tv characters.
I recommend starting with the first book of the series, Heat Wave, and reading all four.

Heat Rises by Richard Castle

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I eagerly anticipated the release of the third novel by the fictional Richard Castle, and I was not disappointed. It kept me guessing, and kept throwing in the odd sock so that I had to guess again. I gave it five stars because I think this mystery could go beyond entertaining fans of the series; it can be enjoyed by any reader of the genre.
