What a fun, cozy, Mystery. Bernie is a private investigator hired by a Mother trying to find her teenage daughter. Bernie's sidekick is a dog named Chet, who is the narrator. It took me a few chapters to get used to the Dog being the narrator but I hung in there and it became a flawless flow of entertainment. The Author's little details of a dog's look at things going on around them is what made it so inviting. Here is an example of what I am talking about. "Keefer licked his lips. The human tongue doesn't appear that often, and when it does, I always notice. This time, in combination with the goatee, it didn't sit right with me, no idea why." Bravo, Spencer Quinn for the quirky look at a dog's view moments. No over the top violence but it does have a couple of intense scenes with some humor to keep it in check.
