Length: 10 hrs and 18 mins

Publisher's summary

The fourth entry in the irresistible New York Times best-selling mystery series featuring canine narrator Chet and his human companion Bernie, "the coolest human/pooch duo this side of Wallace and Gromit" (Kirkus Reviews).

Combining suspense and intrigue with a wonderfully humorous take on the link between man and beast, Spencer Quinn's exceptional mystery series has captured widespread praise since its New York Times best-selling debut, Dog on It. The Dog Who Knew Too Much marks the duo's triumphant return in a tale that's full of surprises.

Bernie is invited to give the keynote speech at the Great Western Private Eye Convention, but it's Chet that the bigshot P.I. in charge has secret plans for. Meanwhile Chet and Bernie are hired to find a kid who has gone missing from a wilderness camp in the high country. The boy's mother thinks the boy's father - her ex - has snatched the boy, but Chet makes a find that sends the case in a new and dangerous direction. As if that weren't enough, matters get complicated at home when a stray puppy that looks suspiciously like Chet shows up. Affairs of the heart collide with a job that's never been tougher, requiring our two intrepid sleuths to depend on each other as never before. The Dog Who Knew Too Much is classic Spencer Quinn, offering page-turning entertainment that's not just for dog-lovers.

Another Winner

What did you love best about The Dog Who Knew Too Much?

What's not to like. The house trashing, with the antique soap still makes me laugh.

What other book might you compare The Dog Who Knew Too Much to and why?

I've listened to Quinn's first three, and while they're similar (and why shouldn't they be when they're told by Chet) each stands alone.

What about Jim Frangione’s performance did you like?

Frangione is Chet. "End of Story."

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I still find myself laughing to myself when thinking of some of the great lines and situations this duo finds themselves in.

Any additional comments?

Just hoping these Chet and Bernie mysteries keep on coming.

Great Listen

I am such a fan of the Chet and Bernie stories and now this one is no exception. I listen while I am working on my craft business.. they are cheerful and keep my attention, easy to listen to and entertaining. What more could I ask?!

Chet the Jet is the Best

I love this series. Spencer Quinn must have an insight on how dogs think because as far as I’m concerned he nailed it. Chet is so funny and I love listening to him. So the question now, do we have a mini Chet running around.
Jim Frangione is an excellent narrator.

WARNING: Will make you want to hug your dog.

Dog Chet tells this story with so much humor and wide-eyed wonder, you can't help but love every minute of it. As he doesn't quite understand everything going on around him and can't communicate his own findings, the human hero and the reader have the perfect amount of information asymmetry to keep things suspenseful. And did I mention how ridiculously charming Chet is?

The narrator is absolutely outstanding. Chet's confidence, his naivete, his ego and his all over adorable dogness sparke throughout the book, I couldn't tell you if I smiled more at the writing or the narration. They are a perfect combination.

My first of the series, absolutely works as a standalone.

Fun, great from Chet the dog's POV
