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.

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!

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.
