I get one movie option and you pick, pick, pick at it

15. Heat Wave by Richard Castle

Yes, this book was written by a fictional character (the male lead on ABC's "Castle"). Yes, it's short and super cheesy. I had fun reading it, mainly because I wasn't expecting "The Hound of Baskervilles." The book is very much like the series with the fun banter between characters and a not very complicated case. This book is in the realm of James Patterson (who, incidentally, has had at least one cameo on the show) in that it's not a stay-up-all-night-to-finish-it super thriller, but a fast, fun read when you're stressed out and don't want to process heavy material. It's not meant to be fine literature, and if you keep that in mind as you start it, you might like it. Or not. ::shrugs:: Whatever.
