About this ebook

The first book of the New York Times bestselling Chet and Bernie mystery series, an “enchanting one-of-a-kind novel” (Stephen King) that is “nothing short of masterful” (Los Angeles Times).

Chet, the wise and lovable canine narrator of Dog on It, and Bernie, a down-on-his-luck private investigator, are quick to take a new case involving a frantic mother searching for her teenage daughter. This well-behaved and gifted student may or may not have been kidnapped, but she has definitely gotten mixed up with some very unsavory characters. With Chet’s highly trained nose leading the way, their hunt for clues takes them into the desert to biker bars and other exotic locales—until the bad guys try to turn the tables and the resourceful duo lands in the paws of peril. Spencer Quinn’s irresistible mystery kicks off a delightful new series that will have readers panting for more.

Cute detective book narrated by the detective's dog (or, as the dog thinks of himself, the detective's partner). Chet is a very good dog and always does his best to help out Bernie, his owner/partner, but sometimes Chet gets distracted by snacks on the floor or the barking of a she-dog or whatever. Chet also has a lot of trouble remembering things, details like where the kidnapping victim is tend to fade from Chet's memory pretty quickly. Although Chet the narrator is doglike, his understanding of the missing persons case and the world in general is far advanced of a real dog. I think there's room for somebody to write a hilarious book narrated by a dog, where the dog understands very little of what is going on but the reader can figure things out from what the dog observes. This is not that book, but it's a fun book all the same.

I wasn't expecting this book to be this good. Very compelling and yet laugh out loud fun.
