Woof by Spencer Quinn - the first in the author's Bowser and Birdie series for children. Told from the dog's point of view. Bowser has just been adopted from the animal shelter for Birdie's birthday present. He's already decided Birdie is the most wonderful human he's met so when she's determined to solve the mystery of a stolen heirloom he's ready to do anything she asks. I'm a big fan of the Chet and Bernie series and thought this was enjoyable for adults as well.

Say Nothing by Brad Parks - federal judge Scott Sampson seems to have it all, a prestigious job, beautiful wife, cute 6 yo twins. But his life begins to fall apart when his twins are kidnapped in an attempt to influence his ruling in a case. When he does as the kidnappers demand, only his son is returned and he learns his nightmare is just beginning. Because the first case isn't the one the kidnappers are really interested in. This book moved swiftly and at various points I suspected everyone in the book. Just a little too much legalese. And one disturbing video sent by the kidnappers.
