Having clicked 'No', I will add the proviso that I WOULD recommend 'Castle: Never Judge a Book by its Cover', but ONLY to fans of the 'Castle' TV series! Anyone else should probably avoid.

For those who are not familiar with the show, it features a novelist who teams up with the cops to solve murders as an inspiration for...
I'm a fan of Castle and the dynamic between Beckett and Castle. So, when I saw the game on Steam, I've bought it.
