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.

Spencer Quinn hits a home run

this is one of Quinn's best Chet and Bernie stories. Taking the case to be a chaperone for a woman and ending up looking for her lost son at Big Bear. Wines Chet and Bernie in real hot water. Susie comes to the rescue. Chet finds a little look a like at home. I can't wait for their next adventure.

Love the Series!

Bernie and Chet never fail to entertain while solving the crime and getting the perp!

Gold mines and corrupt police

chet and Bernie deal with bad Judge and bent local police,. story is a bit scattered but ok.

Why the "f" word?

I really enjoy these Chet and Bernie stories. Chet has a great sense of humor. My question is, why does the "f" word have to be used so often? I can't play these stories out loud. I'm around children and that word plus many others are not used in this house.

enjoyable as usual

Would you consider the audio edition of The Dog Who Knew Too Much to be better than the print version?

I wouldnt know. I have only done the audio version. I know I enjoy the voices of the dog in the audio

Have you listened to any of Jim Frangione’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes I have and it was as good as they all have been

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

I’m addicted!

to chet & bernie! hours of suspenseful mystery which makes me laugh every five minutes. I love dogs so this is right up my alley. my husband can’t understand how a dog would know about money lol he doesn’t get it…yet.

Chet

We love the Chet and Bernie books! They are easy listening and always great stories.

Well worth the wait!

Another brilliant book written by Spencer Quinn. After imagining the meeting between Chet and Iggy, the scene in which they did meet, was certainly far better than anything I had ever thought up! Would love to read more about these two meeting! Jim Frangione is the best voice for Chet and I always enjoy his reading of the books. I highly reccomend this book to anyone and can hardly wait for the next book!

I was WON OVER!

I was very skeptical about this book. The idea of the Dog being the narrator seemed soooo contrived. Even though I love the dog mysteries written by other authors--but the humans are the narrators.
Well, after about 20 minutes of listening, I was totally won over. The author is brilliant at making this very believable. I found myself totally enjoying this book, and I'm looking forward to new adventures of Chet and Bernie!

It’s Chet the Jet—Always a Pleasure!!

If you have not discovered the Chet and Bernie Mystery series, you may want to give one of them a try. The novels would be considered light mysteries, and they are written from the perspective of Chet, the dog half of the Little Detective Agency (Bernie being the human half!).

I always find these books to be cute and different, and good for several hours of entertainment. The narrator has been the same for all of the books so far, and he IS Chet in our minds—and absolutely perfect for this series.

If you’re not sure about committing to a series, another good point for this one is I feel the books can be enjoyed by themselves or even out of order. I did experience a sound quality issue in the last book, but am happy to report that this one is fine.

It was a pleasure spending time with Chet and Bernie again—I look forward to more adventures in the future!!
