"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!"
— Kristen (5 out of 5 stars)

— 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.”

— Rebecca, 1/23/2014 -
" I love the Chet and Bernie books. But I have to say this one was my least favorite. Still a good solid read. I highly recommend the whole series, which is mostly 4 and 5 star worthy. "

" review closer to publication date "
— Ming, 1/7/2014 -
" 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. "
— Kathy, 1/4/2014 -
" What fun! Chet and Bernie of the Little Detective Agency are back. We should all be so lucky as to have a partner like Chet the Jet, full of praise and unconditional love... "
— Pamela, 1/2/2014 -
" Enjoyed hearing the story from the dog's point of view. "
— Vickie, 12/25/2013 -
" Another fun romp with Chet the Jet and Bernie through the seedy underbelly of...lost the train of thought there. Oh we'll. "
— Wayne, 12/7/2013 -
" 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!) "
— Terrie, 12/4/2013 -
" This is book 5 in the series and it hasn't lost any of its spirit or appeal. I really like the Chet and Bernie mysteries. Still waiting for Bernie to find the noisy puppy that looks suspiciously like Chet! "
— Penny, 11/25/2013 -
" I love this series, but I have to say that Chet is getting a little too wordy. Good story and characters. "
— Carmen, 11/18/2013 -
" 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. "
— Joan, 10/4/2013 -
" 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. "
— Sharon, 9/20/2013 -
" 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. "
— Mary, 8/27/2013 -
" This series continues to get better and better. I really enjoyed this, and read through it pretty quickly because I wanted to know what was going to happen. "
— Jane, 8/13/2013 -
" These books are fun, and Quinn keeps getting better. Hope he keeps writing them. "
— John, 7/22/2013 -
" Chet and Bernie are at it again! I always look forward to their newest escapades and I felt this signed advanced readers copy was a score! Spencer Quinn has penned another great mystery story. Family loyalty, both human and canine, at its finest! Thanks Quinn! Are you working on number 6? "
— Cindy, 5/9/2013 -
" 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. "
— Linda, 4/25/2013 -
" I just love this series... "
— Carol, 3/6/2013 -
" Love Chet -- looking at our world from the viewpoint of the canine companion is a wonderful journey. This was worth reading and then some. "
— Claire, 1/7/2013 -
" I could not get into the idea of a dog as a narrator. "
— Curtis, 11/18/2012 -
" It was great being on a case with Chet again. "
— Lyn, 9/22/2012 -
" A Fistful of Collars continues the Chet and Bernie series. It's fun, funny, and touching. I love Chet's perceptions of the human world and his dog's-eye view of life. "
