A Mysterious Review of …
Free Fall by Chris Grabenstein. A John Ceepak Mystery.
Review summary: This a very engaging mystery, light in tone but with a number of serious underlying issues. The mystery storyline itself is not all that demanding, with the subplot involving the Ceepak familial issues picking up the slack. Overall, this is an entertaining entry in the series, made more so by telling the story without any graphic violence or the use of coarse language. (Click here for text of full review.)

A John Ceepak Mystery
Pegasus Books (May 2013)
Publisher synopsis: I didn't do it! is something cops hear all the time. But when the plea comes from a close friend who's fallen on hard times, it's tougher to ignore, especially for young Officer Danny Boyle.
It's the start of another action-packed summer for the wise cracking Boyle and straight-arrow cop (now Chief of Detectives) John Ceepak down the Jersey Shore as they do their best to help Danny's friend, a young nurse who claims she has been falsely accused of aggravated assault by a prestigious Sea Haven doctor. Ceepak's unshakable code of honor is tested when he trusts that the nurse is telling the truth. It's stretched to the limit when one of the nurse's home health care patients turns up dead.
Now Ceepak and Danny must answer the hard and horrible question: "Did we just help a friend get away with murder?"
