Once again the book is better than the TV show and I love the TV show!! In this book Heat finds out who killed her mother and more about why though not the whole story . . .yet. It is so much more interesting and easy to follow than the tv version of why her mother was killed. You have to read all the books that lead up to this one (3). The third and fourth make up for the not so great first and second.

It is also fun to picture Kate and Castle as they appear on TV as Nikki and Rook. The characters' personalities are definitely the same!
