Characters Reading: Kevin Ryan and Javier Esposito (Castle)

In the Castle episode Wrapped Up in Death (season 2 episode 19), Detectives Kate Beckett, Javier Esposito and Kevin Ryan and writer Richard Castle were investigating an interesting case. It centered around the mysterious death of a museum curator, a mummy's curse and a missing Mayan mummy. While looking for more information, Detectives Ryan and Esposito were gathering more research and information by reading the book Mysteries of the Maya: A New Look at an Ancient World by F. H. Mora. I'm pretty sure this is a prop book because I couldn't find anything when I did a search.

Anyway, this was such a fun and wacky episode, in a way it felt like a little homage to Indiana Jones because of all the archeological aspects. Something I really liked about this episode was Castle thinking he was cursed after he looked into the mummy's sarcophagus (without permission). Throughout the episode some strange things were happening to him such as the chair breaking when he sat on it and the cappuccino machine malfunctioning when he tried to use it. However, those were due to Beckett, Esposito and Ryan playing pranks on him. However, things such as getting a paper cut, being chased by a dog and temporarily being stuck in an elevator were not. Could it have been the curse, who knows?
