Summary
There isn't much fun in the sun when a billionaire real-estate tycoon is found murdered on the Tilt-a-Whirl at a seedy seaside amusement park in the otherwise quiet summer tourist town of Sea Haven.
John Ceepak, a former MP just back from Iraq, has just joined the Sea Haven police department. The job offer came from an old Army buddy who hoped to give Ceepak at least a summer's worth of rest and relaxation to help him forget the horrors of war. Instead, Ceepak will head up the murder investigation. He is partnered with Danny Boyle, a 24-year-old part-time summer cop who doesn't carry a gun and only works with the police by day so he has enough pocket money left over to play with his beach buddies at night.
In the first novel in a new series written in the spirit of Carl Hiaasen's work, the Tilt-a-Whirl murder pushes Ceepak's deep sense of honor and integrity to the limits, as unexpected twists and turns keep the truth spinning wildly in every direction.

brilliant book
I wasn't sure what I as getting I to she I first started listening to this story, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was a well written book. The narrator really brought the book to life.
with the book itself there were so many twists and turns and red herrings that I didn't see who did it until just before the reveal, with the outcome coming as a complete shock to me.

Loved it!
Loved it! I'm totally smitten by John Ceepak, what an awesome character. Together with his partner in crime, Danny Boyle, they're a great double act. I thought the story was clever, and I was getting confused when they seemed to have it all wrapped up about 3 hours into the audio book, when it's an 8 hour story. Well, I wasn't expecting that to happen! No spoilers here, if you want to know you'll have to read/listen to the book yourself. It's worth it and I highly recommend the investment!

Amazing and free
I must admit I didn’t hold out much hope for this audiobook because I got it for free, but it was amazing- gripped me from start to finish, and full of unexpected twists. Very highly recommended.

Enjoyable listen.
A good story, full of twists and turns but full marks goes to narrator. I look forward to listening, also read by Jeff Woodman, to the next John Ceepak episode.

Like an episode of Scooby Doo!
Weak. Obvious from the start what was going to happen. Not sure who this is aimed at but more like teen fiction.
