About this ebook
The fourth installment in the irresistible New York Times bestselling mystery series featuring canine narrator Chet and his human companion Bernie—“the coolest human/pooch duo this side of Wallace and Gromit” (Kirkus Reviews).
Humor and intrigue combine for a “thoroughly entertaining comic mystery” (Booklist) as Spencer Quinn’s engaging and unlikely team of crime solvers takes on the case of a boy gone missing from a wilderness camp.
The kid’s mother thinks her ex-husband snatched their son, but Chet’s always reliable nose leads Bernie in a new and dangerous direction. Meanwhile, matters at home get complicated when a stray puppy that looks suspiciously like Chet shows up. Affairs of the heart collide with a job that’s never been tougher, requiring our intrepid sleuths to trust each other even when circumstances—and a rival P.I.—conspire to keep them far apart.

It's east to believe this tale is truly being told by a charming, macho dog. The plot is more than usually convoluted, with a lot of perps soon to be breaking rocks in the hot sun. It's a must-read for all Chet and Bernie fans and a good hook for catching more. As usual, it's funny, full of suspense, and well written.

The writing is great, and Chet and Bernie are great characters. So why do I give it only 3 out of 5 stars? Here's some numbers that will explain why: Number of Chet and Bernie books I've read: 4 Number of books where Bernie is put in prison by corrupt law enforcement officers: 3 Number of books where somebody tries to steal/kidnap Chet because they want him to be their dog: 3 Number of books where Chet and Bernie are hired by a mother, and must find her child: 2 (3 if you count a dog as a child) Number of books where we find out that the child was kidnapped because the woman's husband is involved with criminals: 2 (3 if you count a dog as a child) Seriously, Spencer Quinn seem to be writing the same book over and over. The writing is great, but please! Find somebody to help come up with more creative plots!
