Mad Mouse
By Chris Grabenstein
Sea Haven, New Jersey, is a resort town and everyone gathers at the beach and on the board walk during National Toasted Marshmallow Day. Summer cop, Danny Boyle is hanging out with his friends on the beach late at night in August when someone with a paintball gun shoots at them. One of the girls is injured and taken to the hospital. What seems like a childish prank soon turns nasty. Danny’s partner, John Ceepak, straight arrow and former military police, soon realizes that the perpetrator is trying to do more than injure Danny and his friends.
If you like this book, the first book in the series, Tilt- A-Whirl is available through interlibrary loan.

Mystery Book Review
The Water Room
By Christopher Fowler
Detectives John May and Arthur Bryant, partners for over 50 years lead the Peculiar Crimes Unit in London.
In their seventies, both gentlemen are past retirement but together they solve difficult cases that have grown cold. Bryant is a technical nightmare, losing cell phones and destroying computers, but he makes intuitive leaps that solve cases. Messy, rude and a loner he is the exact opposite of May: dapper, charming, and technically savvy. The story begins with the Peculiar Crimes Unit office reopening after their headquarters was bombed in a previous case presented in “Full Dark House.”
