There is a beautiful (expensive), tranquil (elite) resort in Temple Regis. The owner is hoping to attract the wealthy, and it's been working. Until Buntorama, a 'holiday camp' (cheap) was built next door. That owner is purposely putting the nosiest rides as close to the dividing fence as possible. It features a rowdy bar ... and that's where the body is found. Female, poor clothes, but fancy jewelry. There's a connection here someplace and Judy Dimont is hot on the trail. A Quarter Past Dead, by TP Fielden is another great read in his Miss Dimont Mystery series.

I have read several books by Spencer Quinn so when I saw Arf: a Bowser and Birdie Novel on the book cart I just had to give it a try! It's for younger readers and was quite the fun read! Told from the perspective of Bowser who often sees (or even more often, smells) things that could be of use to solving the mystery of a break in (at more than one house) there's only so much he can do to get his point across. This is the second in the series, I see on the back cover where the book titled Woof is first.
