Cat on a Hot Tin Woof

Chet is brave, loyal, sharp-eared, and has a great sense of smell. On the other hand, he’s impulsive, possesses a short attention span, and has been known to bite. Chet’s a dog, after all, and is the narrator of the latest delightful Chet and Bernie Mystery series. (If you’re new to the series, you’ll be thrilled to discover more than a dozen others that await you.) This time around, to Chet’s dismay, they’re off in search of a missing cat who is key to a young woman’s social media fame. Add in a huge pig and some financial chicanery to complicate the plot. And then there’s Bernie’s mechanic, Nixon, who wants to sell Hollywood on a movie deal involving the reluctant pair, and you have all the makings of a perfectly delightful read. Chet is a keen observer of human behavior, even when he doesn’t fully understand their motivations (boy, are their noses limited!), and his wry, humorous comments often made this reviewer chuckle out loud. With more suspense than a cozy mystery and far more humor than darker fare, Chet and Bernie are sure to please their many fans once again.
