Plot

Richard  Castle  is a bestselling mystery author who was investigated by the New York City police department when the victim of a murder matched the description of a victim in one of his novels. At the time Castle was suffering writer’s block having just killed off the main character, Derrick Storm,  in his successful series of novels. During the investigation Castle is inspired by his run-in with the beautiful Detective Kate Beckett  and through his connections with the Mayor he gets permission to hang out as a consultant at the precinct to do research for his book.




Beckett is initially horrified by the idea of Castle tagging along referring to him as “a 9 year old on a sugar rush totally incapable of taking anything seriously” but as time progresses she learns to appreciate his unique approach to solving crimes. Rounding out the team at the precinct are Detectives Ryan  and Esposito  and Captain Montgomery.Mostly the conversations between castle and beckett are humorous.
