Kate’s 2¢: “The dog who knew too much: a Chet and Bernie mystery” by Spencer Quinn

“The dog who knew too much: a Chet and Bernie mystery” by Spencer Quinn

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

Well now, who isn’t going to fall in love with Chet? He’s big, affable, intelligent, and sees the world from a different perspective. Oh, Bernie’s okay, too, but Chet is the attraction.

   Chet displays his droll sense of humor with his musings and mis-interpretations of colloquialisms, such as a wild goose chase, wishing time would stop – leaving us with the crusts of one egg salad sandwich, How could she even try to smell anything with her tiny nose?, and pot head  to name a few.

   This was the first Chet and Bernie book I’d read and enjoyed it. I’ll look for other adventures of the Little Detective Agency.
