" I like mysteries and I like dog stories, but rarely together. Most animal detective stores are cloying, so I was reluctant to give this one a try. However, Quinn somehow managed to make the story quite humorous by never letting us forget that the dog is...a dog. The fact that that Chet, the dog, narrates the story makes it especially clever in that regard. I might even read another book in the series...this is number one. "

" Just finished this book and it had me laughing out loud. All the little dog nuances we've heard (canines can't count, don't have a good grasp of passing time, etc.) are played out in Chet the dog with humor and warmth. Don't resist this book because you can't imagine a mystery told from a canine's point of view. It's as psychologically intense as any good mystery. Course, it helps if you like dogs, but I think cat people will even be entranced by Chet (though he's no cat lover). I highly recommend you read this delightful book! "

" Great read, told from the perspective of Chet, the dog. It's funny and I often found myself forgetting that it wasn't written by a dog. In fact, I finished this book and picked up the next in the series. My only complaint was the mystery aspect wasn't great. It was easily solved, but worth the read. "

" I wish I could give this 4.5. It's just a fun book, a mystery told from the point of view of a private detective's dog. He stumbles on the answer to the mystery earlier than the detective does, but there's this little communication problem. . . . A very enjoyable, fast read. "
