Even Dogs in the Wild by Ian Rankin - John Rebus is now retired and is bored, bored, bored. So he jumps at the chance to become involved when someone shoots at his old nemesis, Big Ger Cafferty. A convoluted tale of gangsters against gangsters, or maybe not. It could be something from the past. I thought this one cheated a little in the plot. Rebus is still as ornery as ever.

No Shred of Evidence by Charles Todd - 1920, four young women are accused of trying to drown a young man from their rowboat. They claim they were trying to rescue him. Inspector Rutledge is called to the case when the original inspector drops dead on his first day. There are only the conflicting stories of the one witness and the women. Thankfully, Hamish, the soldier ghost who haunts the mind of Rutledge is not heard from very much. I always like to see how Rutledge investigates his cases. I enjoyed this very much. Maybe not a total 5 but close enough.

Deep Blue by Randy Wayne White - Doc Ford has finally bungled one of his secretive missions and the mistake is going to affect everyone living at Dinkins Bay. He's made really bad people mad at him. I still don't like all the mystical Tomlinson stuff. Much better than some of the more recent books. 23rd in the series, and I've read them all.
4 stars
