Helpful Score: 22

I grabbed this up soon as it hit the shelf because I'm a real fan of the tv show, 'Castle'. I won't give away anything about the novels story line, but will say I was at first amused by the writing then later felt a bit let down. For a hardcover adult mystery the book comes in under 200 pages. It must be written by the tv shows script writers as the pacing, dialog, etc..is exactly what you see on tv every Monday night. And for me, that became a problem with the book. What works in a 1 hr (42 filmed mins) tv episode, falls a bit short in a book. I wanted MORE...background, dialog, details... The antics of the reporter-ride along character became somewhat annoying to me by the end of the book. If a 2nd one comes out and is larger, I might try it to see if it's improved.
