A Brewing Storm - Book Review
When I finished reading Frozen Heat - the latest on the Nikki Heat series - I was surprised to see the Derrick Storm short stories on the list of suggestions. Since I have enjoyed all books in the Heat series, I imagine that the Derrick Storm would be fun too and bought it on the spot.
A Brewing Storm: A Derrick Storm Short - by Richard Castle tells a story with Derrick Storm - the ex-CIA operator, private detective that is mentioned as the major character in Castle's books, and the he had killed as the TV series started.
The story was good, involving a kidnapping (with elements from several episodes of the Castle TV series) with much more behind it than meets the eye.
What is frustrating is the obvious laziness of the ghost writers (or the editor/publishers). Instead of pretending to be a real series instead of a book cut into 3 parts, the book just ends abruptly. I feel it would have been much friendly to put at least a token ending while leaving the important threads to the next book.
However, the book is still fun and very, very short, which given its price is acceptable.
