Fun House

A John Ceepak Mystery, Book 7

De: Chris Grabenstein

Narrado por: Jeff Woodman

Fun House is the latest novel in the award-winning John Ceepak mystery series, set on the Jersey Shore.

What if a reality TV show like Jersey Shore set up production in the fictional seaside resort Sea Haven? What if hitting the gym, tanning, and doing a little laundry aren't the only things the contestants get into? By-the-book officer John Ceepak and his wisecracking young partner, Danny Boyle, have to babysit the buff and boozy kids partying it up in a Jersey Shore rental house for TV’s summertime hit Fun House, while simultaneously trying to stop the rowdy kids from breaking the law up and down the beach. But even Ceepak and Danny can’t stop one young cast member from being murdered - and others from being threatened with the same fate.

Great Ceepak, annoying reality TV

I’m with Ceepak: I have zero interest in reality TV. So, for me, there were a lot of annoying actor and producer characters. The traditional Ceepak/Danny interactions work. Too bad there’s only the dynamic crime fighting duo and not enough unique series regulars to outweigh the reality TV duds. This mystery was too predictable and this series has become rather formulaic. On sale, still a good listen.

Love this series!

This is a great series to listen to. The narrator does a great job and is a great selection for these books.

I Love Ceepak! and Danny Boyle TOO!

Would you listen to Fun House again? Why?

Yes, I would re-listen to all Ceepak novels

What other book might you compare Fun House to and why?

Rolling Thunder/Tilt a Whirl

What about Jeff Woodman’s performance did you like?

To me he is Danny Boyle

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It definately make me cry!

Any additional comments?

I really enjoy Chris Gaberstein's creations - Boyle and Ceepak and Sea Haven, my only issue is that they are tooo slow in being released by the publisher. Hope we don't have to wait 2 more years for the next Ceepak novel.

Fun addition to the series

Would you consider the audio edition of Fun House to be better than the print version?

I honestly can't compare the audio version to the written version, because I've never actually seen the print version. Because I am the nerves no longer work, I do most of my reading via audiobook. This was??? the same narrator that was used for the other books in the series, and he's good.

What other book might you compare Fun House to and why?

Jeff Woodman narrates _Till-a-Will_,_Mad Mouse_,_Hell Hole_, and the other amusement park mysteries. He has the right kind of deadpan voice for many of the characters, and he imprints the right emotion at the right time. He is generally pleasant voice just the right tone and expression.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

The book probably would have been even better all at once, but because of my schedule, I had to break into several.

FIlthy language from the beginning.

I enjoyed the other books in this series, but the language in this was too much. I am truly disappointed.
