Tilt-A-Whirl by Chris Grabenstein is the first book in the John Ceepak Mystery series. Former MP John Ceepak partners with part time summer cop Danny Boyle in the quiet tourist town of Sea Haven and heads the investigation of the shooting of a real estate tycoon on the Tilt-A-Whirl at an amusement park. An entertaining mystery with great characters. It was interesting to learn about John Ceepak and his code and the way that Danny looks up to him as a bit of a superhero. An enjoyable and fun book

Great start to a new series for me. John and Danny make a great pair. I also loved the narration of the audio book. 4 stars and will be continuing the series.

But that's shot to hell and back when resident business tycoon Reggie ...more

I enjoyed this book, and it was more complex and serious (at times) than I thought it would be. I envisioned myself reading this just for a quick mystery but have found myself really curious how the two protagonists evolve in future books. Definitely recommend it.
Well, I wasn't expecting that at the end. I like how things the author linked everything together.
