Good ending to the series and a fun ride. There could definitely be some interesting follow-up tales told but unfortunately it doesn't sound like he is planning anything right now.

Next up: TBD, I finished this faster than anticipated so haven't looked for something new yet.
Edit: Working on Brewing Storm by "Richard Castle", an introductory novella to the Derrick Storm series, although it sounds like it isn't a complete story in itself.
Spoiler:
Although I did recognize Nathan Fillion on the cover I don't watch Castle and didn't realize when starting this that these are written as tie-ins for the show and pretend to be by the character from the Castle TV show. Maybe this would be more amusing/interesting if I was interested in the show. I seriously doubt I will continue after this first installment and probably wouldn't finish this one if it wasn't so short.

First thoughts are that it could be and interesting storyline but the cliches and horrible names are a huge distraction. Some examples of the bad names/cliches: the lead FBI agent is "April Showers", the fiance of one guy is "Samantha Toppers" and is described multiple times as "top-heavy", Derrick Storm is trying to get April into bed before even meeting her, etc.
