Nikki Heat and Jameson Rook are together again in Richard Castle’s thrilling follow-up to his New York Times bestseller, Heat Wave.
When New York’s most vicious gossip columnist, Cassidy Towne, is found dead, Heat uncovers a gallery of high profile suspects, all with compelling motives for killing the most feared muckraker in Manhattan.
Heat’s murder investigation is complicated by her surprise reunion with superstar magazine journalist Jameson Rook. In the wake of their recent breakup, Nikki would rather not deal with their raw emotional baggage. But the handsome, wise-cracking Pulitzer Prize-winning writer’s personal involvement in the case forces her to team up with Rook anyway. The residue of their unresolved romantic conflict and crackling sexual tension fills the air as Heat and Rook embark on a search for a killer among celebrities and mobsters, singers and hookers, pro athletes and shamed politicians.
This new, explosive case brings on the heat in the glittery world of secrets, cover-ups, and scandals.

A NON-STOP ACTION FOLLOW-UP TO "HEAT WAVE",
Par
Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : Naked Heat (Relié)
If you set aside an hour on Monday evenings to watch ABC's popular show 'Castle,' you'll want to spend a few hours curled up with Richard Castle's second novel, NAKED HEAT, starring tough, beautiful, smart NYPD Detective Nikki Heat. The first Castle novel, Heat Wave, spent 16 weeks on the NY Times bestseller list - this non-stop action follow-up seems headed in the same direction.Once again Nikki is pursued by handsome Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Jameson Rook. Glib, ardent, and persistent Rook is a perfect foil for Nikki and her detectives. While she is being pursued, she is more in pursuer mode as New York is rocked by the murder of the city's top gossip columnist Cassidy Towne. The rocking almost becomes an earthquake at headquarters when Towne's body is stolen from the coroner's van carrying it to OMCE. As it happens Rook had been working on an article about Towne and may have some helpful information, so once again Nikki lets him ride along with her as she follows numerous leads that seem to lead nowhere. Of course, along the way we're treated to teasing repartee between this pair, such as Rook: 'You know, Detective Heat, you mock me, and it hurts.' Heat: 'Skills.' With just enough levity along the way NAKED HEAT introduces readers to an intriguing cast of characters from a famous rock star to a major league baseball player to a perverted giant called the Texan who enjoys torturing his victims with dental picks before killing them. While there is a large cast, Castle fits the pieces together nicely and builds to a surprising conclusion. As described Towne was a mean 'mud-slinging gossip columnist' who had 'lots of enemies. It was in the job description.' But which one of those who hated her would actually kill her, and why? For this reader the dialogue could easily turn from clever to cliche, such as 'the usual suspects' or 'Are you trying to seduce me, Mrs. Robinson?' With a large cast of characters, new ones introduced throughout, it's a bit of a bumpy reading ride. But, if you're a fan of ABC's 'Castle,' you'll enjoy the trip. - Gail Cooke Aidez d'autres clients à trouver les commentaires les plus utiles

Pour les fanas,

Quand on attend que revienne la série Castle et que l'été est là, rien de tel qu'un petit polar qui nous fait penser à cette bien bonne série. Agréablement divertissant mais pas un chef d'oeuvre. C'est pas le but donc tout va bien!

Un bon complément à la série!On y retrouve un paquet de références aux épisodes, une bonne lecture pour ceux qui aiment Castle et Beckett... C'est vraiment un produit original, à ma connaissance le seul roman écrit par un personnage de fiction! Aidez d'autres clients à trouver les commentaires les plus utiles
