Dog on It: A Chet and Bernie Mystery (Chet and Bernie Mysteries)

By Spencer Quinn

Fabulous, funny new detective novel featuring Bernie, a slightly down-at-heel PI and his offsider, Chet, a dog (and the captivating narrator of the story).I could smell him - or rather the booze on his breath - before he even opened the door, but my sense of smell is pretty good, probably better than yours.So begins this fabulous, funny new detective novel featuring Bernie, a slightly down-at-heel PI; and his offsider, Chet, a dog - and the captivating narrator of the story.Chet may have flunked out of police school (I'd been the best leaper in K-9 class, which has led to all the trouble in a way I couldn't remember exactly, although blood was involved), but he's just as much a detective as Bernie - superior, sometimes, in his insight into human foibles.In Dog On It, their first adventure, Chet and Bernie investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl who may or may not have been kidnapped, but who's definitely gotten herself mixed up with some very unsavoury characters.

Lol:) What a great story! Seriously, who doesn't love a story about a crime fighting PI and his four legged partner? As a long time dog mama, I'm a huge sucker for doggie stories. Will definitely be continuing with the series to read more about Bernie and Chet's shenanigans.

An interesting read. Nice change of pace as the story unfolds from the canine point of view. I did have a difficult time reading some portions, and I can imagine some people would find those parts off-putting.

Very well written from the dog's perspective. A Dog's Life is still my perfect dog's view book, but this is a fun, quick read from the POV of a terrific dog! I can definitely hear my dog thinking "I barked. Firefly barked. Ruby barked. I barked. ..." and the whole sniffing thing.

Cute book but didn’t grab my interest right out of the gate and then ending was predictable.
