The Honest Truth by Dan Gemeinhart - Mark is a boy who has a dog, a best friend, and loving parents. He also has cancer. He decides the last thing he wants to do is climb Mt. Rainier so he runs away from home with his dog, a camera, and a notebook. I found the whole book sad and worried about the dog the whole time. Written for older children about a heavy subject. I did like the writing, just wasn't in the right mood.

Cold Call by Dean Wesley Smith - from a series about retired detectives who try to solve cold cases. This has the gang on the trail of a serial killer who is incredibly wealthy and thus able to thwart the law. Fortunately, the main character has a daughter with an incredibly wealthy boyfriend who makes his resources available to them! Very repetitive and like lots of ebooks, could have used some good editing. "Lot was stunned from the air that he could see the ruggedness of the wilderness they were flying over." Just one of many sentences that had me going ? I only finished this because I was waiting for an appt. to be over.

Between the Living and the Dead by Bill Crider - the 22nd Sheriff Dan Rhodes book has the sheriff investigating the death of a drug dealer in a haunted house. Everyone jumps on the paranormal bandwagon, especially when a second body is found. Of course there are the usual county happenings, a runaway bull in the Walmart parking lot, feral pigs, and people not using their turn signals. Fits the cozy genre nicely.
