Resumen del Editor

Theres more fireworks down the Jersey shore in Chris Grabenstein's sixth fast-paced John Ceepak mystery, Rolling Thunder.

A prominent citizen suffers a heart attack on opening day of a brand new boardwalk roller coaster in the seedy seaside resort town Sea Haven, New Jersey. Initially ruled a tragic accident, it isnt long before there are suspicious hints of foul play, especially after another dead body is discovered: a stunning young beach beauty.

Fortunately for mystery lovers, the straight-arrow cop John Ceepak and his wise-cracking young partner Danny Boyle are on the case, a detective/sidekick duo critics have compared to Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin.

Crack another case with John Ceepak.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Full of unpredictable twists and turns. There's plenty of fizz in the chemistry between the two protagonists to keep the novel and the reader spinning." ( Boston Globe)

loving this series

this series is not in my top five I follow. the narrator is extremely good and th e stories are well written. ready to start the 7th book now

I can't get enough of John and Danny! What a hoot!

As usual, my sixth book in the series does not fail to entertain. Author Chris Grabenstein and narrator Jeff Woodman are a perfect match (I cannot stress this enough). Filled with humor (the scene with in which Woodman plays out a scene with Danny and his drunk girlfriend is hysterical). I laughed so hard and listened to it quite a few times. Another whodunnit, this is a thrill ride worth waiting for. I've already bought Book seven. If this dynamic duo continues to write and narrate, I will continue to listen. What a hoot! So very highly recommended.

wonderful as usual

great sequel to the Ceepack stories. I love listening to all of them so far

Fun Series

Would you consider the audio edition of Rolling Thunder to be better than the print version?

I love the charactors and the plots. Very simple, easy to follow and I like the moral John with his side kick Danny. I also like the setting in a beach town that has tourist seasons and otherwise a quiet small town atmosphere.

Would you recommend Rolling Thunder to your friends? Why or why not?

Definately. If you like murder mystery but do not like all the gore of some of the crime stories out there. These stories would be appropriate for even a younger audiance (teens) who like mysteries.

What about Jeff Woodman’s performance did you like?

This narrator is AWSOME! So many voices, he is easy to follow when he changes charactors - a lot of diversity without any fake sounding (cartoon-like) voices.

Great story and narration as usual!

Great book as usual. Woodman's narration makes the audio perfect. I really enjoyed the characters and the pacing and Ceepak never gets old. Might want to listen to these books in order as some characters are from previous books. It is NOT necessary to enjoy it but it makes it a little more fun.

Another Ceepak mystery? Roger That!

Another great Ceepak novel full of twists and turns to take your brain on it’s own Rolling Thunder ride. Quirky characters? Check! Funderful shop names which make you feel as if you’re down at the shore? Check. Big old plot twist? Check! Even though I knew it was coming and even saw it, I couldn’t see where it was taking me. This series is so much fun it’s a mental vacation every time I pick up one of these books.

The narration is so good that I can’t imagine enjoying them any other way, it really is one of the books that I think is way better in audio than reading.

Can't wait for the next one

Having become a fan of Danny and Cepak, I couldn't wait for this new one to be released. I wasn't disappointed! I find myself laughing out loud while listening. The narrator is exceptional and helps increase the enjoyment of this book. Sheer fun. Can't wait for the next one.

Another engaging story from Sea Haven

Each book in the series does stand alone so don't worry too much if you're reading them out of order. That being said, however, you won't fully appreciate the story if you don't know the background of Ceepak and his father, of Danny and Sea Haven, of Ceepak and Danny's earlier "adventures" because the book is nearly equally about exploring these characters and their motivations and solving a crime/mystery.

It is a decent mystery too... lots of suspense and frustration with the roadblocks Danny and Ceepak have to overcome (interfering officials and rich citizens). And there is a little vein of humor throughout the whole story - particularly when Danny communicates with a suspect, or talks about people in Sea Haven.

I did think that the wrap up where they "chased" the bad guy went on a little bit too long and was a bit extreme for the usual tone of these books, but, all in all, it is a very good addition to the Danny & Ceepak world. The narration is excellent.

Good Listen

Pretty good book. I enjoyed the humor of the main character. Some of the characters seem to have the Irish accent but it worked.

Thunderous Applause for ROLLING THUNDER!

A prominent woman dies on Sea Haven's new wooden roller coaster, but was there a crime? Danny and Ceepak are on the trail when an entirely new crisis shocks the town, threatening the investigators, their friends, and the rapidly-approaching tourist season. "Rolling Thunder," the sixth John Ceepak Mystery from Chris Grabenstein, won't disappoint loyal fans or new readers. As always, Jeff Woodman's narration pulls the characters off the written page and into your headphones. There's plenty of mystery, suspense, and the usual humor, with an ending that will keep you turning pages until it concludes. And...is there someone new in Danny's life? Stay tuned!
