Storm Front / Richard Castle / 314 pages

This book was commissioned by ABC studios to advertise for the Castle TV series.  Fans of the show will recognize the tongue-in-cheek humor displayed throughout the book: "The gondolier could only be described as ruggedly handsome."  This book features Derrick Storm - a private investigator who works for the CIA.  Nikki Heat (from the series most talked about in Castle) makes a brief appearance near the end.  This is a fun, quick read, though a bit gruesome in parts.  The humor is a little too adult for children at times.
