ANOTHER FIVE TICKET/FIVE STAR RIDE!

I'm sad the series is over! Can't wait until next Spring for the next Ceepak. This could be the best one yet. The growth in Danny's character, the slight softening of Ceepak, it's all good! Danny is learning how to be a man, Ceepak is learning how to be a friend. And Jeff Woodman is amazing as both of them, not to mention grizzled Gus and everybody else in the cast!

Surprised

Didn't know what to expect, but after this listen, I went out and found his other three books in the series and have read them all. AND, I'm waiting for the next one to arrive. I really enjoyed the tone of the book, the characters, the plot and the setting. I had absolutely no expectations going in, and was thoroughly delighted. HEY CHRIS! GET BUSY ON THE NEXT ONE (or several)!!!!!

Another "fun" murder mystery for Ceepak and Boyle.

The variation in this episode is that Ceepak and Boyle are on the trail of a serial murderer. The undisguised clues are spread over the beach and in local shops. The locals don't want anything to disturb the tourists, but Ceepak's code makes him proceed with the investigation.

Again, Jeff Woodman does an excellent narration.

Somehow Grabenstein and Woodman make the gruesome topic of murder into a fun listen.

Great Listen

This is a fun refreshing book. The Characters are interesting. Looks like the series ended in 2018 to bad it is one of my favorites. Jeff Woodman does a fantastic job making the characters come to life. Check the series out it's great.
