I picked up this book because I liked the title: Long in the Sleuth: a Tension on a Pension Mystery. :-) Set in a Jewish retirement center the adventure begins when someone dies from a poisoned knish. Several of the residents set out to figure out the who and the why. Author Carol Novis does a nice job with her debut novel (and I learned a bit about Jewish marriage law).

Here's a nice little dog book from the UK: The Goodness of Dogs: the Human's Guide to Choosing, Buying, Training, Feeding, Living with and Caring for Your Dog, by India Knight. Part owner's manual, part training guide, and some fun stories about the author's dog.
