Rolling Thunder

A John Ceepak Mystery

By: Chris Grabenstein

Narrated by: Jeff Woodman

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.

Critic reviews

"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

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.

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!
