À propos de cet audio

There isn't much fun in the sun when a billionaire real-estate tycoon is found murdered on the Tilt-a-Whirl at a seedy seaside amusement park in the otherwise quiet summer tourist town of Sea Haven.

John Ceepak, a former MP just back from Iraq, has just joined the Sea Haven police department. The job offer came from an old Army buddy who hoped to give Ceepak at least a summer's worth of rest and relaxation to help him forget the horrors of war. Instead, Ceepak will head up the murder investigation. He is partnered with Danny Boyle, a 24-year-old part-time summer cop who doesn't carry a gun and only works with the police by day so he has enough pocket money left over to play with his beach buddies at night.

In the first novel in a new series written in the spirit of Carl Hiaasen's work, the Tilt-a-Whirl murder pushes Ceepak's deep sense of honor and integrity to the limits, as unexpected twists and turns keep the truth spinning wildly in every direction.

I hated the writing. First person where the first person is a goofy dude-bro. It just rubbed me the wrong way. Cardboard characters, unrealistic actions from the cops, a little too much bro-y sleaze for my liking, and a plot that's... ok. Not too involved, not particularly pacey, but an interesting enough solution.
I got this as an audiobook at least a year ago, listened to a few minutes and gave up, and then forgot about. I should have returned it, really, but I didn't and now the return period has elapsed, so I thought I'd better listen to it, get my money's worth, you know?
l bought it because I liked the amusement park theme of the title. I forgot that you should never judge a book by its cover. I won't be checking out book 2.
