A Chet and Bernie Mystery

De: Spencer Quinn

Narrado por: Jim Frangione

Spencer Quinn follows the critical success of his "New York Times best-selling Dog on It with this second mystery starring hapless private investigator Bernie and his four-legged partner Chet, a K-9 school dropout.

While Bernie continues his struggle to pay the bills, Chet - with his sharp nose and even sharper teeth - keeps bringing down the perps. Told from Chet's perspective and featuring the humorous ramblings of a dog, Thereby Hangs a Tail is another winner.

I laughed out loud throughout this book

Because I'm not a dog, I can't say for sure that the author and reader of this delightful story have perfectly nailed what goes on in a dog's mind. But it sure sounds like it. The reader, Jim Frangione, is fantastic. Everything about Frangione's delivery portrays Chet, the engaging animal who tells the story, just as I imagine Chet would sound to another dog.

This book is the second in the series. I suggest starting with the first in the series, but it's not impertive to do so. The second book is even funnier than the first. I hope this series continues for many dog years to come.

Just as good as I expected

Chet is a very special member of the nation within a nation. Bernie is not so bad either. They are a special team, you know!

Masterfully written

Who doesn't love a good mystery! It's even better when it's told by a k9!

Fun listen!

Getting things from the dog's point of view is, again, refreshing and fun. You do get to know and enjoy the characters. I'll keep listening to this series!

CHET and Bernie at their finest!!!

If you could sum up Thereby Hangs a Tail in three words, what would they be?

Love the series

What did you like best about this story?

I like how this series is from Chet's prospective and it's just interesting.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Well he really wasn't quirky enough for the character Chet. He did do a good job but it was not what I envisioned in my head.

Love Chet!

I love how the story is told by Chet. He's not a genius, nor a super hero. He thinks the way a dog does. Telling the story with no human or 3rd party narration is difficult. Well done.

LOVED IT!!

The second book picked right up from the first, with Chet personal twist on things. I have immensely enjoyed these books and the narrator is in my top 4 list! Wonderful listen, well worth buying!

Love this series!

This series never disappoints! The point of view, the details, the character development, story development, everything!

Fun story

I enjoy these books because its fun to hear the "dogs perspective" and it makes looking for the bad guy a little different. If you don't like dogs you probably won't like this book.

Love. Chet. The book is great

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Any dog person or animal person would love this series. So yes

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes.

What about Jim Frangione’s performance did you like?

He made you think the dog is actually talking. Thinking like a dog.

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

When they were in the desert.

Any additional comments?

I like the way he takes words we use and puts them in there real meaning. Loved the books
