About this product

Product Information

The first book of the New York Times bestselling Chet and Bernie mystery series, an "enchanting one-of-a-kind novel" (Stephen King) that is "nothing short of masterful" ( Los Angeles Times ). Chet, the wise and lovable canine narrator of Dog on It , and Bernie, a down-on-his-luck private investigator, are quick to take a new case involving a frantic mother searching for her teenage daughter. This well-behaved and gifted student may or may not have been kidnapped, but she has definitely gotten mixed up with some very unsavory characters. With Chet's highly trained nose leading the way, their hunt for clues takes them into the desert to biker bars and other exotic locales--until the bad guys try to turn the tables and the resourceful duo lands in the paws of peril. Spencer Quinn's irresistible mystery kicks off a delightful new series that will have readers panting for more.

I ordered this lot of 4 bridge books because I wanted one of the books. Price of the lot of 4 was cheaper than the price of the book I wanted from other sellers. As a bonus, I liked 2 of the other 3 books. Items were as described, well packed and arrived quickly. I would buy from this seller again.

    Very Fun Series

    I love this series! If you want to sit back and enjoy a light-hearted story be sure to purchase this book and get hooked! I had lost this first book of the series after loaning it out and wanted to replace it. The book arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

    Not For Me

    Great for a 5th grader maybe otherwise pretty lame. And BTW author, if your engine blew in a Porsche you aren't going to get oil all over your windshield since the engine is in the back.......even a 5th grader would know that.

  • Loved this book so much I ordered all the Chet and Bernie mysteries from eBay! Chet the dog narrates the story and had me laughing at every page.

    A great book for dog lovers. I haven’t looked at mine the same way since Chet and Bernie, private investigators, found their way into my library.

  • Outstanding and Dogon funny by any measure.....

    I usually never give an opinion on any books I have read nor recommend them to others. This book and his follow up book on Chet are two of the best ,funny and animal wise reads ever! Chet takes us through what it truly must be like to be the companion of a dysfunctional human and get the inside picture of a dogs life, a life full of smells, feeling and subtleties we as human miss most of in our lives. If you want a chuckle for today and every day you read Chet and his adventures This is a great choice only if you enjoy and respect the animal companions we all should experience. A great read, lite and full of sensitivity and humor and just plain fun to read.
