Publisher Description

Spencer Quinn's New York Times best-selling Chet and Bernie mysteries are a welcome treat for fans. In this fifth installment, Hollywood star Chad Perry is causing quite a stir in the Valley. But when Chad is linked to an old crime, the P.I. duo must sniff out the truth, even if it means tangling with Chad's cat Brando.

"This is just the most delightful series. Granted, I am biased because it is told from a dog's perspective and the dog is at least partial Border Collie, but trust me, in addition to the fun mystery aspect of the books, we could all learn from Chet's insights. Thanks, Marci, for the recommendation!"

Quotes

  • “If you have ever been certain your dog understands what you’re saying, read this book. If you wish you could understand, read this book. If you don’t have dogs, read this book anyway.”

    — New York Journal of Books
  • “Once again, Quinn…effectively uses a dog narrator while avoiding the sentimentality that marks many animal-centered cozies.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Between Chet’s insightful and humorous takes on human events, the fast-paced plot, and the wealth of fascinating secondary characters, this is a fine entry in a not-to-be-missed series.” 

    — Booklist
  • “You would think that by the fifth series title, Quinn might have run out of ideas and quips—he hasn’t…Humorous and entertaining.”

    — Library Journal

    " I love this series and more than once, I laughed out loud. Mostly, just smiled as Chet and Bernie tackle another mystery. So much is left to the imagination in the story telling -bringing out the details of the mystery while 'seeing' the experiences through a dog's mind. "

    " Darn! The last one in the series (so far). This is a great series, with a fun narrator (Chet, the dog -- he has a blog, too). I get excited every time I see Slim Jims now (Chet's favorite food!) "

    " Gotta love that Chet!! Really cute series. And Jeanne, after the ending to this one, I'm thinking German Shepherd. No Golden Retriever would ever be able to fight like that. "

    " I have loved all the Chet and Bernie series. This book is my least favorite. Too much confusion and too many characters. I found after awhile I didn't care about anyone but Chet. "

    " I love Bernie and Chet. Chet reminds me of another dog I know who is fixated on his owner. According to Chet, "Bernie is always the smartest one in the room". The plots always keep me guessing because the only clues I get are from Chet, who tells the story -- obviously from a dog's point of view. "

    " I have truly enjoyed all the Bernie & Chet books, but this one fell a little short on plot. Too much chatter of the dog losing his train of thought. Hope the next one gets a better plot to keep us interested. "
