Introduction
I’m Lisa van Urk and this report is about the book Heat wave from Richard Castle. In the beginning it was hard to read an English book but after a while you get used to it. Also this is my first book in the genre of detectives. Some words were really hard to understand, but if you keep reading you understand the whole story by yourself. I’m proud that I finished it and I know now who the culprit is.
About the writer.
You will think that Richard Castle is the writer of the book, it’s even standing in bold letters on the cover. But is it the truth? No Richard Castle is not the writer of this book. It’s a complex commerce money making. Richard Castle is the character in the TV serie Castle. This TV serie is doing well worldwide. So it’s a good strategic move to let the fans think. Richard Castle wrote the books.Even on the cover of the page is standing. Watch castle on abc. Even the show’s creator said: "Richard Castle wrote the books. The roguishly handsome best-selling author of the Derek Storm mystery series. He's charming. He's a good writer. And I don't know why you're trying to take credit away from him. The guy worked hard on it."Fans do not believe it and neither do I. But who is then the real author?
Should I make a investigation of it? Even on google the answer is not founded yet. Fans believe it’s the work of Stephen Cannell. But there are more names. I can’t tell about the author because no one knows who the real author is . Funny right? A book about to solve strange cases but they can’t even figuere out who wrote it.
Resume of the book

Detective Raley made a funny joke of it “It’s raining men” he said. The apartment is filled with artwork worth millions of dollars.The man had a young son, a Scandanavian nanny and a Botoxed wife. That spended her money faster then Beyonce.Matthew starr has his high rise real estate office.

He wants to make a magazine report on NYC’s detectives. In the beginning I was thinking his wife murdered Matthew because she wanted the money that she will get on the arworks. I Was close they found out that Kimberley star had another life before this,she was a prostitue and had another name. That made the team think she was it. Kimberley star had alot of affairs in 7 years but Mathhew and Kimberley were still together. You can read further in the book that Matthew even had affairs. Noah felt sorry for the child and made in secret a bank account where he put some money from Matthew star on,for the study of their son.The affairs that made it more impossible to find the killer.Afther a while they found DNA of an Russian man named Pochenko. But there was no effidence he murdered Matthew star. That evening Pochenko broke in the appartment of Nikki. She was taking a bath and heard someone’s footsteps. But before she knew it Pochenko was trying to kill her while she was naked. It was a weird scene I skip further.
