Fun House: 7 (John Ceepak Mysteries)

What if a reality TV show like The 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 wise-cracking young partner, Danny Boyle, have to baby-sit 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. “Vivid local color and sharply drawn characters — especially as dramatized in the contrast between the partners’ attitudes — help make the pages fly.” — Publishers Weekly
