“There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people: psychopaths and mystery writers. I’m the kind that pays better.” – Richard Castle, Castle
Back in March of 2011 I wrote a series of posts about the TV show Castle, which was then part way through its third season, as well as the two books that had been published at that point. I even included some videos of the cast together at Comic Con 2010 to show how much fun they have with each other. It is now time for an update.
In the time that has passed since I did my posts the show has completed four seasons, with the fifth having just aired its first episode. There have also been two more Richard Castle
The ideal way to experience all sets of media is to watch Castle Season 1, then read the book Heat Wave, then watch Castle Season 2, then read the book Naked Heat, then watch Castle Season 3, etc. Rather than make you search for my original posts, I am re-doing them now in order to better present a flow or sequence to follow. I will separate each season into its own post, as well as tweak the text to improve it a little. The first two books already were separate entries, so I will not re-post those. I will have links to them, in the correct sequence, below.

On to the reviews…
Great write-ups Chip, I also love the show!The characters, the two main actors and their chemistry, the magic cop duo and the fact that it's a crime drama, all make me want to see even more- one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm glad to see some of the fans of the show among the people who read my posts.
