Part of the appeal besides Nathan Fillion is the sharp and intelligent writing, which doesn't "dumb down" to its audience. That style has carried over to the books based on and around this series. Sure, these are not highly complex, technically magnificent tomes of suitable gravitas. The four Castle novels are good reads pardon th No false pretenses here - I'm a major fan of this television series.
The four Castle novels are good reads pardon the pun with enough depth to last more than an afternoon, and an ability to translate into visual imagery for us fans. They are well-paced, entertaining and FUN. Do we really need more from a relaxing few hours with a book?
I don't think so. This one, the fourth, is every bit as sharp as the first. And yes, we clearly see Kate Beckett and Rick Castle in every line of dialogue. I enjoy "episode spotting" - seeing brief references to some of the plot lines which featured during the previous season. The interrelationship is detailed and extraordinarily well-done.
If you didn't know that statue of a fist was in one episode you'd simply think it was just another bit in the story. I enjoyed this particular novel, dealing as it does with the fictional matter of Heat's mother's murder.
Fictional accounting of a fictional character's tragedy. There's something Mobius-like in that concept! Anyway, before my ears start to bleed trying to grasp the tortured symmetry, I will simply say that this is another MUST for fans of Rick Castle.
Of which I am most definitely one. I also caught the charming reference to another series in the two detectives named Malcolm and Reynolds. Captain Tightpants lives!!!! But that's another series.
If you like Castle, read this book. If you've never seen Castle the series, you'll still enjoy this book, but you'll like it even more if you broaden your knowledge base and watch the latest season on Monday nights.
And beyond anything, admire the promotional brilliance of whoever came up with the idea of having a fictional writer from a tv show write a REAL book!
Extraordinarily smart. Wish to hell I'd thought of it. Apr 08, Rachel rated it really liked it. Sometimes I find myself embarrassed reading the Richard Castle books because most would not call it "great" literature but it's definitely entertaining literature and anything that can take your mind out of your life and into a fictional one is pretty great as well. I admit I started to read the Castle books because of my love for the ABC television program but that isn't necessarily my continued draw.

The characters, while easily mirroring of the television counterparts Castle and Beckett, are surprisingly well developed and continuity from book to book is remarkable.
The ghostwriter of this book is supremely talented at keeping the plot moving without neglecting character details and an exciting story.
This edition of the Nikki Heat saga finds her delving further into the murder of her mother nineteen years ago and its relation to a current murder. With the help of the usual cast of characters from the previous three books Nikki not only solves the current murder but finds out so much more than maybe she ever wanted to know about her mother's past. I would definitely recommend this book to any fan of Castle and really for anyone that likes a quick, entertaining, suspense-filled read that doesn't skimp of quality in favor of common "crime novel" ploys.

Which is too bad, because that was such a fun book! I'm sorely disappointed that the language and sex allusions were even worse in this book than the previous ones, especially since the show is a lot cleaner than most of prime time.
Great mystery; terrific lead-ins to inevitable next bookS. Rook gets to show in ways that Castle never does. View all 19 comments. Another quite solid crime novel. I admit, it was a slow read at some parts.

But this series is the exception, I gotten to love the characters over the course of the TV run and the novels really draw out the same feelings for me. Oct 15, J.

My favorite of the four novels. Yes, I groaned loudly when it was discovered this plot would revolve around Nikki Heat's mother's death, just like with the TV series which drug things out WAY too long. The book has a great flow as the My favorite of the four novels. The book has a great flow as the mystery is slowly unveiled and pace to the investigation.
The novel has enough depth to keep you guessing. Solid stand-alone novel with a fun cast of character relationships. You see Nikki begin to open up and face her demons.
She undergoes a lot of personal trials in this book, and you see a change in her personality as the plot flows along. So while some reviewers would be quick to judge this is just a rip-off of the TV series episodes, there is character growth as well as an engaging mystery within the pages!
But lets face it, why are you NOT watching "Castle? Hovered between giving this one 2 stars or 3 stars. I wanted to like it, but there were just too many things about this book that didn't sit right with me. First of all, even though I'm not regular viewer of Castle, I'm aware this series is ghost written and attributed to the fictional protagonist of that show. Therefore I understand how in some ways these books have to read like a TV show to appeal to the fans of said show. Frozen Heat, however, takes that to a whole other level.
It felt like ev Hovered between giving this one 2 stars or 3 stars. It felt like every single crime show trope, cliche and tension-building gimmick was unleashed for this novel, everything from one-in-a-million coincidences to prime-informant-dies-just-before-he-can-offer-up-his-case-breaking-lead. I think part of the problem is that whoever wrote this was in way over their head. I mentioned in my review of the last book that the reason why I enjoyed it so much was because for the first time I felt that Nikki Heat was involved in something much bigger than herself.
But as is often the case, moderation is key. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect these kinds of books to be realistic to a T since I consider them fun, fluff reads after all but I do find I enjoy them much better when they're more plausible. Using book three as an example, it's one thing to present a mystery around corruption in the police force; the details are manageable and the resulting story is at least halfway convincing.
Do not use sharp or heavy tools to attempt this. The problem likely lies with components or a failing sensor, and in either case it will need to be repaired by an expert! Fantastic Job Alex J did a fantastic job installing and explaining our new heater. I would highly recommend them Mike and Heath came out on a very cold Saturday and provided professional and friendly service. Resolved the problem so we could stay warm.
I would highly recommend them. Professional Service Thank you, Korey T. These timers can be anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours as set by the manufacturer. Attached to the defrost system is a defrost sensor.
This sensor tells the defrost system that the coil is frosted over. Some manufactures program the defrost system to start the timer only after the sensor has recognized the frost. Others will start the timer after the last defrost cycle and will ignore the sensor until the unit has ran for the selected time, at which point if the sensor has recognized the frost, and defrost will initiate. Most defrost controls will limit the defrost cycle to a max of 10 minutes.
This is typically more than enough time to remove the frost. The worst case scenario for a heat pump however, is when there is snow falling. First, the conditions are already perfect for moisture to freeze on contact on the outdoor coil. Second, as the outdoor fan motor pulls air across the outdoor coil, those beautiful white snowflakes that are floating towards the ground get drawn into the coil. In this case, the system may finish a defrost cycle and within just a few minutes have pulled enough snow in the coil to require another defrost cycle.
If there is any form of frozen precipitation falling snow, freezing rain, sleet , change the mode on your thermostat to E-heat. Also, If the weather forecast is calling for a hard freeze warning and you see frost on your unit for more than 1 hour, then use E-heat. Once the weather conditions have improved, if you still have concerns about the frost on your unit, give a call to a service provider to insure your unit is working properly.
