Great Mystery for Dog Lovers (and others): Thereby Hangs a Tail by Spencer Quinn

 As a dog lover and a mystery book lover, I always enjoy finding when the two come together. Author Spencer Quinn does that brilliantly in his series called the "Chet and Bernie Mysteries." I just finished reading "Thereby Hangs a Tail" and it was really enjoyable and I highly recommend it!  Bernie Little is the detective who has his own agency called "The Little Detective Agency." Along with his faithful dog Chet, they solve mysteries.  Here's the GREAT aspect - the stories are told from Chet's perspective. Spencer Quinn really does make you feel like the dog is telling the story - because Chet will be thinking of the case and suddenly get distracted by a cat or squirrel. Fun stories and really great mysteries. Check them out!  - Rob

WHO IS CHET THE DOG?  Meet Chet, the wise and lovable canine narrator of the Chet & Bernie Mystery Series, who works alongside Bernie, a down-on-his-luck private investigator. Chet might have flunked out of police school (“I’d been the best leaper in K-9 class, which had led to all the trouble in a way I couldn’t remember exactly, although blood was involved”), but he’s a detective through and through.

BOOK SYNOPSIS (from the author's website):  In Thereby Hangs a Tail, Bernie and Chet are called on to investigate threats made against an unlikely target—a pretty and pampered show dog named Princess.  What seems like a lark of a case turns serious when Princess and her owner are abducted.  To make matters worse, Bernie’s on-again off-again girlfriend, reporter Susie Sanchez, disappears too.  When Chet is separated from Bernie, he’s on his own to put the pieces together, find his way home, and save the day.
