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.

"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.
"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!
"Number 4 in a great series"
Chet the Jet is on the case again. This is a great series, especially for us "dog" people.
"Must love dogs"
This is a case where the reviews get better with each book in the series. Either you liked the premise of the dog as a narrator in which case, you moved onto the next book or you did not and passed on the subsequent books. Assuming you did these in sequence, by the time you got to book four you are left only with fans. I am waiting for book five. I delight in the relationship of Bernie and Chet as does the dog who is lying by my side on the couch.
"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.
"Love Chet and Bernie"
The dog's loyalty and point of view are so refreshing. Chet's amusing view of the human world is very entertaining. Still more violence than I care for but never enough to discourage me from listening.
"Who's barking?"
Another good story as told by Chet. I love this series and look forward to hearing more. I've never read one. I only listen to Chet.
"Another Winner"
What's not to like. The house trashing, with the antique soap still makes me laugh.
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.
Frangione is Chet. "End of Story."
I still find myself laughing to myself when thinking of some of the great lines and situations this duo finds themselves in.
Just hoping these Chet and Bernie mysteries keep on coming.
"great story"
I enjoy the audio version of this book it kept my attention and interest driving to and from work.
of course the dogs point of view through the various happenings in life
the dog
when the dog was escaping from the criminals and searching for his faithful master.
"author has to be a dog"
Did not read the print version, but the reader enhances the credibility of the first person dog narrator.
All the books in the series are great. I don't think any other auther has captured the dog personna as well as Quinn.
Did not read the print version, but the reader enhances the credibility of the first person dog narrator.
Yes, laugh. And look at my dog with new eyes.
Get it!
