Nikki Heat and Jameson Rook are back. At odds after a break-up brought on by Rook's magazine article about Heat made her gossip fodder for the media, they find themselves involved in the homicide of a vicious gossip columnist whose body is stolen on the way to the morgue. One murder quickly becomes two and then three while Heat and Rook struggle with their personal issues while trying to piece things together and stop a killer before he kills again.
Naked Heat is the second book in the series based on the characters in the ABC TV show, "Castle", which I adore. The first book was Heat Wave, which I enjoyed as an easy, intriguing, fun read.
Naked Heat, however, failed a bit in the beginning, but I don't think I can give you anything specific. It seemed . . . disjointed or scattered maybe. But, I stuck with it and I can say that whoever is actually writing the stories managed to pull it together and get an enjoyable story out of it.
Recommendation: Castle is the best show on TV right now and if you're not watching it, you should be. The books are light, middle-of-the-road mysteries, which would probably be best read on the beach.

My parents pretty much nagged me until I started watching Castle. I'm glad they did - you're right, it's a great show! =)
