Monkey Flip

A Sebastian Winthrop, Chimp Detective, Mystery

By: Michael Dell

Narrated by: Michael Dell

Never send a monkey to do a chimp’s job.

When Addie and Bennett Pajakowski learn that their father, the fearsome Bonecrusher Brannigan, is accused of murdering one of his fellow professional wrestlers, they seek the help of Sebastian Winthrop, the world’s greatest detective. So, imagine their surprise when they discover that the reclusive Sebastian is a talking chimp.

Monkey Flip chronicles Sebastian’s investigation into the death of Mitch Mayhem, the heavyweight champion of a local independent wrestling federation. Along the way, Sebastian teaches Addie and Bennett what it takes to be good detectives while they show him that life should be lived and not mourned. The book takes a comedic, satirical look at the fanatical world of professional wrestling and touches on such themes as grief, acceptance, and the importance of family.

Some are already calling Sebastian one of the best detectives in fiction. Others call him the best. Just don’t call him a monkey.

Hilarious listen!

I laughed several times out loud and smiled throughout the entire story. Both adults and kids will enjoy this story.

2 Opposable Thumbs Up!

I have been plagued with terrible acne for years but this audiobook cured it overnight! A chimptastic adventure very well narrated by the smooth velvety tones of a fake radio professional, you will enjoy the hell out of this book, especially if you like Columbo (and who doesn't like Columbo?). This Michael Dell is a tremendous author on his way to outshining that guy who did something with computers.....

Monkey Flip: A jumping good tale

Monkey Flip hits the floor running and rarely lets off the pedal. Filled with quips, sassy retorts, and a distinguished monkey….er chimpanzee in a smoking jacket, this story will have you trying to solve the murder of a champion wrestler with 2 children and their hired detective who happens to be a chimp. I laughed, chuckled, shook my head, and even felt a tug of the heartstrings near the end. I recommend giving this a listen/read as it is quite good. With the audible version my only complaint is the author reads it pretty fast at times, but even with my hearing loss, I was able to keep up without having to rewind. Other than that, it’s a very easy listen and great for on the way to work as the book is not crazy long.
