Title: Frozen Heat
Author: Richard Castle
Review: I love
the TV show Castle and wish that it was on more then it is…that said I have to
say that reading the books is like watching an episode…just a bit slower
moving. This one starts with a bang and
you get to know more about Nikki’s mothers murder, just like Becketts mothers
murder from the show. Yes the books are
slightly different with names and some facts, but for the most part you can see
how Castle gets his materials from his ride alongs and uses those to write his
novels.
I realize that this is a TV novel tie in and not written by the actor…you
would be surprised how many people don’t get that….hummmmm. But, if you enjoy the show you will enjoy the
novels. There is more sex in the books
then in the TV show and no daughter for Rook.
One of the murders is quite icky and I could just imagine what her
apartment must have looked like after the shot…yuck!
Pick up this book and the others if you haven’t yet….slower than the show…but
still a fun ride.

Synopsis: Hot on the heels of Richard Castle's #1 New
York Times bestseller Heat Rises comes the fourth novel in the Nikki Heat
series, Frozen Heat. Nikki Heat and Jameson Rook are together again, facing an
unsolved murder mystery that has haunted Nikki for ten years.
NYPD Homicide Detective Nikki Heat arrives at her latest crime scene to
find an unidentified woman stabbed to death and stuffed inside a suitcase left
on a Manhattan street. Nikki is in for a big shock when this new homicide
connects to the unsolved murder of her own mother. Paired once again with her
romantic and investigative partner, top journalist Jameson Rook, Heat works to
solve the mystery of the body in the suitcase while she is forced to confront
unexplored areas of her mother's background.
Facing relentless danger as someone targets her for the next kill,
Nikki's search will unearth painful family truths, expose a startling hidden
life, and cause Nikki to reexamine her own past. Heat's passionate quest takes
her and Rook from the back alleys of Manhattan to the avenues of Paris, trying
to catch a ruthless killer. The question is, now that her mother's cold case
has unexpectedly thawed, will Nikki Heat finally be able to solve the dark
mystery that has been her demon for ten years?
