These works (Stripping, Heat Wave and others) are excellent addition to the series! Many say it sucks not find it as in the series, Alexis is missing, Martha is not present, the relationship Beckett / Castle is different, bolder etc. It should not be forgotten that in the series, Castle is inspired by what he sees in the NYPD to write his books. Do not expect to see the series in its smallest details, until the same emotion that we can find in the series. If you expect to settle this then you watch the show and do not buy those books. These books are just there to show us what to Castle drawn from his experience with the team. And my time, I must admit, it was a great book. Okay there may be some mistakes in French, some spelling mistakes, but the gene does in no reading, understanding and enjoyment of this reading. the investigation progresses at the same pace as the series, it is very well include "our team"; Guys, the captain, Kate, Ricky etc. I highly recommend buying this book for fans of the series but also for others who would not know the series;)
