A Raging Storm (Derrick Storm #2) by Richard Castle: Book Review

Part two of the three-book trilogy, which is really just one book broken up into three tiny parts so they can make more money off it. Part two (I can't even keep the titles straight in my head) doesn't even give you an introduction. It just starts where part one left off, so you really do need to read these in order. 

Here is the official story synopsis, cut and pasted from Goodreads:
"Days after being brought out of retirement to investigate a kidnapping, Derrick Storm has a dead US senator on his hands, an assassin to track down, and nearly six billion dollars' worth of gold bars--hidden by the Communist Party somewhere in the former USSR--to uncover. Teaming up again with FBI agent April Showers, Storm must talk to Ivan Petrov, a secretive millionaire who has ties to the assassination, coordinates for the gold, and a mole leaking information to the Russian government from within his inner circle. And while the CIA mission is getting heated, it's nothing compared to the growing sexual tension between Storm and Showers."
This short story seemed to be a bit better written (than book #1); the plot was tighter and there was more action, though it still has a few typos and grammatical errors. It seemed more predictable than part one, but also more enjoyable, which, to me, is the point of these little books. A question or two is answered, but you still don't know the entire story. On to part three (thank goodness for the library)....
