I picked this one up, being a big fan of the Castle series as well as Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic, as well as to drown out the silence on my son's first day of preschool. I really couldn't put it down!
The first 3 books in the series were quite good, and improves on rereads, which is difficult for a murder mystery novel. After all, if you already knew whodunit, what's the sense of reading again?
The sense is the characters are rich and the action is brilliant. I absolutely love Castle mainly for Detective Beckett, who is a wonderful, meaty character, and the novels increasingly capture it. Sure, there's dumb jokes and more than my fair share of cliches, but it kind of blends into the environment, and that they probably would be saying all those cliches if this were real life.
One of the beefs I have with this novel though (and consequently the removing of a star) is that Nikki Heat does something really stupid which hurts Rook and turns out badly for her. (Trying not to give spoilers). She takes offense at something stupid and just does something stupid in return. It seemed like a setup for some sort of crazy turmoil in their relationship or her sense of well being, and after its all said and done, it barely makes an impact in her life or their relationship. If a guy pulled a similar stunt on me then acted the way she did afterwards (before they 'made up'), I probably would walk away, no matter how much I cared. Seriously, it wasn't like super-huge-bad, but some major red flags would be up and I would have serious trust issues afterwards. And then it didn't matter, and they just moved on? Really hard to choke down that one. It was not cool!
The twists are really clever (while still being believable!) and the action is really fun and exciting.
Frozen Heat Thaws... into a Puddle!
I had a really hard time finishing this book. I had to make myself sit down and read the last thirty pages, just so that I could move on to another book. I am a big fan of the TV series, "Castle," and I've read the three previous books in the Nikki Heat series. The one before this, "Heat Rises," was definitely a favorite, so I was looking forward to "Frozen Heat."
The pace of the story was confusing. Sometimes it seemed like a mini-version of the TV series, "24." At other times, there wasn't enough going on to keep my attention. Part of this may have been the number of characters who weren't well-developed. It's difficult to connect with a story when you can't connect with any of the characters. Other than Heat and Rook, we learn little of the backstories of the supporting characters. The series focuses mainly on Nikki Heat, who comes across as emotionally undeveloped and with a serious superiority complex. She's not entirely unlikable, but the unwavering loyalty and admiration she seems to command from both her squad and Rook is often questionable. (And irritating to the reader).
In the first two books, I had a problem with how condescending and downright mean Nikki was to Rook, and just why Rook was so willing to take the abuse. (This is a problem for me with the actual TV series, as well). One of the reasons I enjoyed the third book so much more was that it seemed like Nikki had finally loosened up a bit and wasn't so critical of and quick to blame Jameson Rook for every little thing that happened, whether his fault or not.
In "Frozen Heat," I once again found myself wandering why Nikki felt like it was okay to give Rook such a hard time.
