I got this book because there are German Shepherds involved and that's a favorite breed of mine! It's probably more of a teen or tween book than I expected from the blurb, but it was an excellent (if short) read! Sniffed Out is the first of the Search and Rescue Cozy Mysteries by Patti Benning. Evelyn has two dogs: one is a seasoned search dog for "live" finds, the other is in training as a cadaver dog. As green as he is at this, he's learned his lessons well and discovers a dead body! This won't take you long, and it's worth it.

Here is the third Veronica Vale Investigates book by Kitty Kildare: Death at the Craven Arms. Veronica is at the family owned pub to keep an eye on the most recent 'event' ... a paranormal investigator and author holding a ghost hunt! She does not believe in ghosts, but many do and the author is very popular. There are a few who are not happy, though, and not because they don't believe in ghosts, but because they don't want their ancestor exploited in any way. The plot thickens, as the saying goes, when the investigator is found dead at the foot of the stairs to the cellar. Will the ghosts help with the investigation?
