Yes, I know its just a way to make more money on the TV show, but my curiousity was piqued and I could not resist buying my own copy of Castle's book. (I confess, I bought the LOST tie-in novel a few years back as well.)
The surprising this was, it really wasn't bad. At a few points the language and description were a little overkill; it felt like the author (whoever he really is) was trying a little too hard to be dramatic. Overall, though, the story really wasn't bad. It wasn't an edge-of-your-seat-page-turner, but it was a fun, easy read.
The most amusing thing was, all the characters in this book, not just Nikki Heat, were based off characters on the show. There's the duo of detectives who like to goof around and pick on Nikki, the coroner who is also good friends with Nikki, the journalist following her around while researching a piece on the NYPD and the journalist even has an overly dramatic, former actress for a mother. So as I was reading I pretty much just envisioned the cast of the show in my head.
I wouldn't say this novel would be good for really hardcore detective novel fans, but if you're a really big fan of the show then you might enjoy it.
