Deadly Heat by Richard Castle
3.0
I read these books for literally one reason.
"She could hear silver clanging and table conversation. Something like, 'Nathan would be perfect casting, if he's available.'"
This book has the best reference thus far, though.
Rook even investigated a site devoted to the mutt languages of some TV series called 'Firefly'.
Yep. That one sentence right there is literally the only reason this book got 3 stars. Well, that and because the narrator for this one is a huge improvement over the last one.
There are people out there who read these for the actual murder mystery thrill. And that boggles my mind.
I mean, the serial killer plot line alone. OMG! THAT is the killer?! NO WAY! WHO WOULD HAVE POSSIBLY KNOWN THAT?!?!?
I did.
From literally the second we were introduced to them. Because duh.
And the B plot, which was the weirdest least cohesive combination of mother's murder and terrorist threat, was so. damn. boring. It's a terrorist threat, FFS. How do you make that boring?
A repeat thought I have every time I read one of these. If Richard Castle/The Castle TV show were actually real, I would be shocked and horrified that they let this guy help out in police investigations. Because wow.
The next one is the last one, right? Then we move on to Derek Storm, where I am praying to all the fishes that there are no Whedon references? Because noooooo.
