Publisher's summary

Richard Castle, New York Times mega-bestselling mystery writer and star of ABC's hit primetime show Castle, is back. In the seventh novel of his popular Nikki Heat series, the NYPD's top homicide detective has been promoted to captain just in time to face a thrilling case with a very personal twist. Captain Heat's fiancé, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Jameson Rook, is deep in an investigation. Professionally for Heat, Rook's meddling in the case compromises her new job. Privately, it becomes an early test of their engagement when Rook becomes a distraction at best, and an obstacle at worst, as their parallel lives not only cross but collide.

Excellent!

In typical Richard Castle style the story is twisting in on itself until the reveal. Just like a certain TV show I like it was a pleasure to make my way through it. Can't wait for the next one.

Not Bad

I grabbed this book because I love the TV series Castle. It’s not a bad book, but it just never grabbed me. 😊I think the narrator did a decent job.

The HEAT will drive you to want more.

Every moment, every chapter, every word raises the temperature to a higher and higher degree. Making me wonder how each story can be even better and leaving me wanting the next installment but it is true. They are and do!
Thanks Richard...who and where ever you are😏

Best so far

This was the best Nikki Heat so far. Once you suspended your disbelief, this book proves to be worth the purchase. It's a hilarious, nonstop often heartwarming ride through political and cooperate intrigue
