HEAT WAVE by Richard Castle - Book Review

This is an excerpt of a book review from our site DaemonsBooks.com of the Richard Castle book "Heat Wave" from the ABC TV show Castle.
I'm a huge fan of the TV show Castle so I couldn't resist picking up Heat Wave, the book that lead character Richard Castle is supposed to be writing on the show. The premise of both the book and the show is that a popular author is shadowing a New York homicide detective and he helps her solve cases. It may sound like Murder She Wrote but it's actually a lot more fun because of the banter and romantic tension between the main characters. Heat Wave is what I would call a fun, guilty-pleasure book because it's a lot like reading an extended episode of Castle.
