review 1: Okay, so I grabbed this novel cause I'm on a Castle kick, and Cannel and Connelly starred in first season of Castle (Connelly still stars in it, and Cannel is, sadly, now dead)...along with Cannel and Connelly, Lehane and Patterson are mentioned (and star in) the Castle books and show.Therefore, I determined these four write the Castle books, along with Castle creator and writer, Andrew Marlowe.This book gives some more clues - the cop in Prostitutes' Ball drives a Crown Vic, and so does Nikki Heat (this could be standard for police in America however, but felt like a clue).Also, Hitch felt a bit Castleish - the follow on constantly writing about police work. I kept waiting for Hitch to pull out the Moleskine. Hitch was Castle, Scully is Nikki Heat. That's about all the cl... moreues or similarities I could muster. Cannel's book is more police procedural than the Castle books. The feel is different even though they are essentally both police/crime novels.I liked this, but I kept comparing it with the Castle novels. I'm in love with the Castle novels, I just liked this. The old abandoned mansion I loved, but it was all a bit quick and straightforward. Nikki Heat books are more twisty. I can sink into them more.
review 2: #10 in the Shane Scully series. Shane is a tough LAPD cop married to a beautiful Assistant Chief on the same force.Shane Scully responds to a call at the scene of a murder twenty-five years prior. Revelers have fled, leaving three dead bodies. With partner, Sumner 'Hitch' Hitchens, Scully begins to investigate, and there's video of a husband firing on all three. There's a single bullet that doesn't match the rest. From it emerges a story of love, murder, and financial fraud. less
