I love Chet! This is another mystery with humor and unexpected twists like the first in the series. Very entertaining. There were a couple of loose ends at the end, but I expect those will be addressed in the next book. Overall, a fun and fairly quick read.

Taken from the inside cover of the book jacket."Bernie and Chet are called on to investigate threats made against an unlikely target-a pretty, pampered show dog named Princess. What seems like a joke turns into a serious case when Princess and her owner are abducted." On top of all that, Bernie's love interest Susie, whom we meet in the first book, goes missing.
I am enjoying this series and there is a lot going on, making it a fast paced book. A couple of the scenes were upsetting and did leave you hanging for a few chapters but in the end all was put together. I must admit I thought I had it figured out on who did the deed but boy with all the twist and turns I was very wrong. Chet is being the slow but gets there detective and Bernie is being the usual good loyal dog. Can't wait to read the next book.

Not as good as the first book but still a fast, fun read. Quinn definitely has a formula that he follows but it doesn't make the books any less addictive. Hoping the next one isn't so obvious and that Chet doesn't have to go through a bad experience every time.

I absolutely love the narration by Chet, the canine partner in this PI team. The author nails the excitement and actions of a dog in so many ways. Highly recommended for all dog lovers.

I really enjoyed this 2nd in a series. This Chet & Bernie story was even more fun than the first one. Easy reading, entertaining, funny... just a real cute story when it's through the eyes of a dog. A nice light summer read. Can't wait to see what Chet can get into next time around!

After reading "Dog On It," I was looking forward to reading another book by this author. Although I didn't like this one as much, I still found it to be entertaining. The story is told/narrated by Bernie's beloved dog Chet who is full of personality. I loved his humor and the special bond he shares with Bernie. I would certainly read other books written by Spencer Quinn.
