Heat Wave by Richard Castle
2.0
Wow, this is SO bad! I expected it to be less than stellar, but the level of bad is absolutely breath taking!
I don't just mean the plot. Check this out:
"'I see,' he said. And then he took the plunge. 'Matthew Starr indulged in some personal habits that compromised his personal fortune. He did damage." Noah paused then took the plunge."
This guy is so hardcore, he took the plunge TWICE in the same paragraph.
Come on! Fanfiction has Beta Readers! You're telling me Hyperion editors couldn't have spared two minutes to read this before printing it?
Richard Castle would never have written this. In fact, I'm 90% confident no Castle writer laid hands on this. The cleverness of the show is completely missing from this book.
And seriously? If this was how Castle saw Beckett? I wouldn't be watching the show. Ye gods.
I'm giving it two stars only because of the acknowledgements.
