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.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
A seemingly straightforward plot took a couple of very surprising twists. It moved along but had a good amount of added character interest background, too.
What about Jeff Woodman’s performance did you like?
It never sounded artificial. Sometimes a narrator sounds as if he is reading rather than actively involved, but John does a great job of making you feel part of the proceedings.
