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 good entry in the Chet and Bernie series

Chet and Bernie go to the circus. As usual, they end up finding a dead body. Always fun hearing Chet (Just Chet, the dog) tell a story.

For Dog Lovers

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

yes, because the performance enhances the author's intent, especially the inflection of Chet the dog. Chet exudes the bare faced simplicity and loyalty in belief in his pal/partner/master/, Bernie.

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

NA

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the small descriptions of things like Chet waking to the squirrel outside his window together with Bernie's misinterpretation of what made Chet bark.

YEA! another Chet adventure

Made laugh many times and feel that anxious sense for Chet and Berney at different points. Really kept me engaged.

Any additional comments?

This is a great read and I can't wait for the next one. Hope the author is able to keep up the newness and freshness of the story line.

Fabulous book

I laughed and cried all the way through this book. The characters are vivid and the story line is ludicrous while it still works. Spencer Quinn is a master.

Entertaining Perspective

I like Chet so much that I now believe my own dog has an internal monologue. He does get a little repetitive at times, but he is a lovable narrator and these are fun books to listen to.

Love this series

Without giving anything away - Chet wandering the mine.

Chet- I think he truly captures the spirit of a dog through his narration.

Any additional comments?

Spencer Quinn does a fantastic job of creating an intriguing murder mystery through the eyes of dog. The narrator also does a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life. If you haven't read this series yet and you love animals - start.

The Dog Who Knew Too Much

Another great book!!! Excellent across the board ,I've read the rest of them from the beginning and they just keep getting better !! Narrator is absolutely fantastic !!!! Thanks again for the great ride,, I'm going to read all of Spencer Quinn's books and anything Jim Frangione narrates !!!!!!! JRB

Too funny

I loved hearing Chet's view of the flawed yet somehow perfect Bernie. Chet's dialogue is truly entertaining and to me the repeat phrases give a sense of credence to our main character which is in fact a dog.

So fun

I love the Chet and Bernie series, so it is an easy 5 stars from me. I just read a miserable book, and I had to listen to a Chet and Bernie book to recover. It was perfect. The running jokes through the books are priceless. Sure the books are silly, but I prefer silly to miserable any day. I am a Chet fan for life.

Mystery from the canine point of vew

Light, funny and well written. The tale (no pun intended) is written from the dog's point of view. Different from most books written by the pet however, this dog actually behaves like a dog, not like a furry human. Jim Frangione is perfect as Chet. I'm looking forward to the next one.
