This week's book is Deadly Heat by Richard Castle.
Okay, if you aren't familiar with the TV show Castle, Richard Castle is the main character. He's a writer who is supposedly writing books inspired by the cases he works shadowing a police detective around. Someone somewhere brilliantly decided to start publishing those books, and this is the fifth one that's come out.
Here's the first sentence.
And, moving ahead to page 56:
I'm a fan of the show, so I find these books fun. The mysteries are decent enough I think anyone could enjoy them, but fans will get the most out of them, I think.

NYPD Homicide detective Nikki Head double-parked her gray Crown Victoria behind the coroner van and strode toward the pizza joint where a body waited.
And, moving ahead to page 56:
"Oxford is kind of why I'm here," she said. "I need to ask you about your old classmate."

Haven't seen the show but both show and books have piqued my interest.

Most of the fans I know get a kick out of the books, too.
DeleteI didn't realize that the show was based on books. I've only seen a few episodes, but they were interesting. The book sounds good too.

And that's just the beginning, trust me.
DeleteI've seen the show... Castle is a Canadian after all... but have yet to read a book. It's on my list though.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
The show is lots of fun, isn't it?
DeleteMy mom loves the Castle books. I've seen an episode or two of the show.
