Matthew and I enjoy our time together in the evenings. We watch TV, we read our books and we talk. Well, it surprised both of us when we discovered that we could connect all three things. On Monday nights at 10pm is a show called Castle. It's about an author that gets smitten with a police detective and decides to use her as his subject for his next book. Being friends with just about every big wig in the city including the mayor, Castle manages to become a temporary police officer for the research on his book. The book he wrote is entitled Heat Wave and the geniuses at ABC decided to actually make the book a reality. Hence, Heat Wave by Richard Castle.
The book actually reads exactly like an episode of the show (go figure right) but with much greater detail. The first 3-4 chapters start off incredibly slow, like the part of the TV show where you know it's a good time to start the wash, grab a snack and take a restroom break. However, once you make it past those mundane chapters, the book really picks up and by the last 3-4 chapters I couldn't put it down.
I give this book a 3.75 out of 5 and recommend it to those that watch the TV show, know the preface of the book and will be able to appreciate the humor as if the actors were talking it out in real time.
