Order of Richard Castle Books
Richard Castle is a fictional character who is portrayed by Nathan Fillion on the ABC television series Castle. Despite being a fictional character, Castle is an author of real-life mystery novels as well as several short stories. In his spare time, Castle plays poker with James Patterson, Michael Connelly and Dennis Lehane.
While we don’t have dates of publication for Castle’s fictional novels (and yes, that is fictional, meaning they do not actually exist), we can tell you that the Rick Castle character became a real-world author in 2009 with the release of Heat Wave, starring Nikki Heat – based on fictional NYPD detective Kate Beckett. Below is a list of Rick Castle’s books in order of when they were originally released:

Just like many of you I was so surprised to find out the books he talked about in the show were real!!! I can read them in 2-3 days usually. The last one I read, had me guessing at the killer, until she made the arrest in the last chapter! I had thought it but dismissed it. Anyway, so glad I found them!
Didn’t Rick have the Derrick Storm out before he started working with Becket?
i want all of his books especially the first one “Heat Wave” I’m telling you, ice bullet.
Whomever is writing the actual books is doing a good job of paralleling the series! (I was shocked when I first saw a “Caste” book in the bookstore!!)
Love the series!
Nice try at the grammatically correct sentence, but I’m afraid you did not pass the test.
You don’t have to be rude! He was just making a point. The way he saw it. And either his phone autocorrected (like mine was just trying to do) or he was typing fast and misspelled a word. This is a castle thread not a grammar quiz!
I love castle (tv show not the character)
Since I’ve retired, I’ve read most of the Heat series, and no matter who the true Author may be, they are all good reading. I actually laughed at some parts, and had to keep reading to find out what happens next! Great Job!
that books can be buy?
BUT, we all know that the person behind the Richard Castle books ISNOT Richard Castle or Nathan Fillion, but one of the produces of the TV series.
That we do… but the books say “Richard Castle” and I’m not even sure that the true identity of the writer has been revealed (correct me if I’m wrong). Most likely, it’s a house name for a group of writers.
The clue is in that poker game they had awhile back….I am thinking it is a collaboration of them all James Patterson, Stephen King and I don’t know who!!
No, there was another person at the table – a woman – I believe it’s her because they said the author had a cameo. They barely showed her face and she kind of had a smile from her profile. It was perfect if it was her!
Correction – I started off with “no” but that’s inaccurate, however I do strongly believe it was the other woman I mentioned in my other reply comment.
True….but it didn’t stop me asking Nathan to sign as Richard…. it was just so meta
Lucky you!! I would love him to do the same with mine!
