À propos de cet audio

Marriage. It's a double-edged sword, or at least it is for Nikki Heat. Her husband, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jameson Rook, infuriates her in a way no one else in her entire life has ever done. He also takes her to heights of pleasure she has never experienced. But most of all, she loves the man with all her heart, and she'd do anything to protect him. Which is just what she had done not so long ago. It had almost cost them everything.

Now, Rook is given the honor to be a visiting professor at his alma mater, and he can't pass up the opportunity to mentor burgeoning writers at his former award-winning college newspaper. Shortly after his arrival on campus, a female reporter for the paper is found dead - naked - in Rook's bed.

Dealing with betrayal from any man is not Nikki's style. She and Jameson have had plenty of conflicts during their complicated relationship, but none like this. Is her husband keeping secrets of his own, or can she really trust him?

In order to find out, Nikki gives Jameson the benefit of the doubt and digs into Jameson's theory of a secret society within a secret society. What she finds puts her investigative skills, and her marriage, to the test.

The biggest issue I have with this book is the decision to pad out a decent enough light mystery by making Rook and Nikki extra horny and continually interrupting the story with scads of sex play. There was always an undercurrent of this in the TV show, and it certainly played a part in the earlier novels in the series, but in this one it’s gotten out of hand, as well as the continual repetition of the description of Rook as “ruggedly, handsome“. This was a joke in the opening season of Castle, but pretty much disappeared as the show matured. Rook is framed for the murder of a beautiful journalism student, who is a fan of his, and is following up a story that he had started to write when he was a student at the campus, where he has just been tapped to be a visiting professor. Since she is found naked, and in his bed and his campus house, he is naturally a prime suspect. Heat has to leave Manhattan and travel to Cambria in order to work to clear him. It’s a complicated little mystery, but the unnecessary touches do spoil it. This is not written by the ghost writer, who did the majority of the books in the series and you can really tell the difference in quality and style.

The last of the series pales

I heard rumours, but aftering listening for just a short while, it's very clear the authour has changed, and this new authour is not at the same level as the previous.

The book just isn't very good. The pacing, overall story, plot devices, underlying mystery, conclusion.. I'm disappointed. Even the characters, and how they interact, has changed. Their history has changed, for a cheap addition of drama..

Overall, I'm not sure if it's worth continuing to read these novels, especially after how phenomenal an ending Heat Storm was.

By the way, as usual, the performance by Robert Petkoff was great. It's a shame he just wasn't given good material to work with.

Not very good
