I make it a point not to watch reality TV, but with the number of mystery series that I read using that as a plot device, I now know I was justified in my decision. Of course, it helps when a master like Chris Grabenstein is writing the book; I know he'll make me laugh about it-- and he certainly did (although I think I was cringing while I was laughing).

Layla, a character from the previous book, makes an appearance here as a production assistant on the set, and we have one worried Danny Boyle. You see... Ceepak is seriously thinking about a career change.

This is another swift-moving entry in this excellent series. Grabenstein planted plenty of red herrings for us readers; however, I still found the identity of the killer to be easy to deduce. But let's face it-- I don't read Ceepak and Boyle for ground-breaking mysteries. Grabenstein has created two splendid characters who have grabbed hold of my heart, and he knows how to make me laugh. That's more than good enough for me, and I think it will be for you, too.

What happens when a Jersey Shore type reality TV show, skeevy TV producers, & a motorcycle gang converge in Sea Haven? Murder, mystery, & steroids. Ceepak & Boyle are up to the eyeballs trying to solve a murder while unfortunately being filmed & added to reality TV. Deceit, backstabbing, & possible mob hits keep the two on their toes along with still trying to solve the ongoing drug investigation that had been stretching through the series. Plenty of humor, investigative process, & red herrings. Clever writing!
