Dog On It: A Chet and Bernie Mystery ~ Spencer Quinn

***CarolK

I'm not exactly a dog lover but that didn't keep me from enjoying Dog On It!: A Chet and Bernie Mystery by Spencer Quinn. I had read several favorable reviews that called this debut novel light hearted, creative, hilarious, and promised something different. It seemed like the perfect laid back read for the holidays. Dog On It! delivered. Not just a mystery, but an insightful look into a special relationship as Chet, our canine narrator and his human assistant, Bernie, sink their teeth into solving the case of a missing teen.

Chet is a skilled four legged storyteller as any human could be. He's curious, loyal, funny and ferocious when needed and loves to eat, and not just the usual dog food. Chet frequently woofs about his people, his kind, and his tribe. By the end of the book I wanted to join his tribe too.

The second Chet and Bernie mystery, Thereby Hangs a Tail: A Chet and Bernie Mystery, has just been released and is available at our library. Treat yourself to either. They're delightful!
