Bark to the Future by Spencer Quinn
Another comfort food book.
The book is narrated by Chet the dog. His owner is Bernie. And it takes some getting used to because Chet is a dog with memory issues and he kind of remembers things. I can take him in small doses and I do like to catch up on the ongoing adventures in the Little Detective Agency.
Bernie bumps into a former high school teammate, Rocket, panhandling by the freeway. Bernie wants to find out what happened to him and why Rocket is in this state. Unfortunately, Rocket disappears and it is up to Chet and Bernie to find him. There is a lot of delving in Bernie's past at Chisholm High School as he meets old teammates from his high school baseball days.
It's a fun romp. The writing is tighter and so is the mystery. Some times the author, Quinn, loves to just Chet ramble. I can see the problem for some with this series is that Chet references other cases they have worked on in the course of solving this case. If you don't the cases, it might get a bit confusing.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
