Publisher's summary

Chet the dog, "the most lovable narrator in all of crime fiction" (Boston Globe), and his human partner Bernie Little find themselves high in the mountains this holiday season to help Dame Ariadne Carlisle, a renowned author of bestselling Christmas mysteries, find Rudy, her lead reindeer and good luck charm, who has gone missing.

At Kringle Ranch, Dame Ariadne's expansive mountain spread, Chet discovers that he is not fond of reindeer. But the case turns out to be about much more than reindeer after Dame Ariadne's personal assistant takes a long fall into Devil's Purse, a deep mountain gorge. When our duo discovers that someone very close to Dame Ariadne was murdered in that same spot decades earlier, they start looking into that long ago unsolved crime.

But as they reach into the past, the past is also reaching out for them. Can they unlock the secrets of Dame Ariadne's life before they too end up at the bottom of the gorge? Is Rudy somehow the key?

Never Disappointing!

I love Chet & Bernie mysteries! I've listened to all of them and this latest adventure does not disappoint - the perfect mix of great characters, fun stories, humor (I'll be chuckling about Barney Small and Champ for a while) and, of course, Chet!

One so good I’ll listen again!

Love the series and #14 is my favorite to date. Endearing narrator. Well developed characters with good back stories. Chet and Bernie are terrific. What a great break it is to listen to💕

Feel good series

I’ve listened to all the Chet and Bernie books and eagerly await the next one. They are laugh out loud good. I know I will be in for a solid mystery told as only Chet can do.

I need more superlatives!

I kind of stopped writing reviews for the Chet and Bernie series because I had used up all my “really greats” and “wonderfuls” and “I love thems.” But I was so happy when this one arrived I think I have to say something. I just can’t get enough of Chet and Bernie, and have listened to some of them more than once. Please please please keep them coming, and please keep having Mr. Frangione narrate them! He gets the voices so perfectly, especially Chet’s!

One of Chet and Bernie’s Happiest!!

I have read AND listened to every book in the series multiple times, so I’m biased. Huge fan. I’m completely in love with Bernie, and Chet’s view of the world positively soothes my soul. And keeps me howling. No one is better than Jim Frangione—he makes this series come to life. What a great combination—Quinn and Frangione. THANK YOU!!

Chet & Bernie successfully solve the mystery of Rudy’s whereabouts & find the perps responsible for a murder.

This is a typical action filled Chet & Bernie adventure & I enjoyed every minute of it!

Like Chet, Like The Book

If you are a Chet Fan, you will enjoy this book. Not Spencer's best, but an enjoyable fun read. As always Jim Frangione is terrific and as usual will be looking forward to the next C & B book

Perfect

These are my favorite books, making me wish my life away waiting for the next book. They never disappoint! I hate that it ended :( I do like the plots that Chet is not lost or stolen much better than when he is in danger without Bernie.
