I;m not sure what your tates are, but I just finished Death Spiral: Jai Dee by James Boedeker. He writes a faced paced story and doesn't waste words describing things that dont add to a story. His first book in the series Death Spiral was excellent as well.
Here's something quite new (literally) - just out in 2010: Trash by Andy Mulligan. It is designated as teen fiction, but I and several other adults who agree with me believe that it is just very, very good, period. It is set in the Philippines and has to do with the mystery of some stolen money which the corrupt police are looking for. It has a very unusual premise.
Dangerous Liasons (1782 novel Les Liasons Dangeureuses)
My suggestion is to watch the movie first. By viewing the 1988 film, the characters in the book will be familiar to you and the plot will be easier to follow as it does get a bit complicated with its intrigue. The film is very good and stands on its own, but the book is excellent and one of my favorites.
Does your library have access to an online database called NoveList? You can use it to enter names of authors or books you've liked and the database will find other titles that are similar. Eg; type in the name Nevada Barr and it will bring up a list of authors including Marcia Muller, CJ Box, Sue Grafton and Karen Kijewski. That may be of some help.
I haven't read any dog books lately. I tend to be a bit cautious with those as I get upset if the dog dies. But a couple of novels I've enjoyed lately are The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey, and The Light Between Oceans by M. Stedman.
