Crescent Dawn/Skating Around The Law

For a rollicking good adventure, check out Crescent Dawn, the latest in the Dirk Pitt series by Clive Cussler. Dirk, who had been running NUMA in the last few books, is back in the thick of things, along with his grown children, Dirk Jr. and Summer. There are explosions in mosques, explosions on boats, kidnappings, lost treasures, sibling psychopaths. It's all great fun. A perfect beach book, even if it is the middle of December.

For a mystery with a different spin, check out Skating Around The Law by Joelle Charbonneau. The heroine, Rebecca Robbins, has been forced to move back to the small Illinois town she couldn't wait to leave years earlier. Her mother has died and left her the town's roller rink. Her plans to sell the rink and get back to her real life in Chicago run amuck when the town handyman is found dead at the rink. Since the local police force seems incapable of solving the crime, Rebecca decides to handle it herself, which leads to a series of adventures, misadventures, and a major flirtation with the town's studly veterinarian. A cute story in a unique setting with an engaging heroine.
