Castle
and his ghost writer go all out with Driving Heat.
The storyline moves in many directions and suspects abound.
Nikki Heat is now Captain Heat. What's so odd about Nikki's
current case is the victim. It's a psychiatrist, Lon King.
She was ordered to see him after a past case. Even worse,
her files are missing from King's office. The story leads
us in multiple directions and the amount of suspects will
be a test to your attention span. As Captain of her squad,
Nikki deals with office pressure and finds the NYPD files
and computers are no longer safe. The newly engaged Nikki
also deals with fiancé Jameson Rook playing investigative
reporter, yet again. I'm still not warming up to Rook.
Series
followers will find Driving Heat a bit more exciting
than the last in series. Like I said, there is a lot going
on, and Nikki has a lot to lose if Rook interferes once too
many times. The Nikki Heat series is a happy medium in the
mystery genre. It's not a cozy like the TV show Castle and
it's a far cry from NYPD Blues, so if you're looking for a
detective novel with a complex plot, limited violence, language,
and love scenes, this might be the series for you.
Stage
Actor and Audie Award winner, Robert Petkoff once again gives
listeners an entertaining narration. In listening to Petkoff
narrate both Raging Heat and Driving Heat,
I can't help but picture him as Rook.
