The Dog Who Knew Too Much

In the Chet and Bernie Mystery, The Dog Who Knew Too Much, Spencer Quinn once again delights readers with the lovable canine sleuth Chet and his private investigator owner Bernie. This is the fourth installment of mystery novels involving this duo. Spencer Quinn writes in a way that is easy to read and hard to stop. Chet, the dog, is the narrator of this tale. It is quite refreshing and fun to read from a dog's perspective. Dog lovers will surely like this even if they are not the biggest mystery fans. In The Dog Who Knew Too Much Chet and Bernie are hired for a rather simple weekend gig, but what ensues is kidnapping, murder, and mayhem in the back country wilderness. Although not what they had planned for, nothing proves too much for the clever Bernie and the courageous Chet. What I think I enjoyed most about this book, other than the suspense and intrigue, was the portrayal of a caring, codependent relationship between a dog and his human. Chet and Bernie prove while there are some things dogs simply cannot understand about people and countless things humans are incapable of detecting that a dog can we are still able to form lasting, meaningful bonds with each other and occasionally fight crime in the process. Read this book. You will not be disappointed. Other Chet and Bernie Mysteries by Spencer Quinn include: To Fetch A Thief, Thereby Hangs A Tail, and Dog On It.
