Cat on a Hot Tin Woof

Chet and Bernie Mysteries, Book 16

By: Spencer Quinn

Narrated by: Jim Frangione

Join Chet the dog, "the most lovable narrator in all of fiction" (Boston Globe), and his human partner Bernie as they scramble to solve a case exposing the dark side of internet fame.

Chet the dog is less than enthusiastic about the Little Detective Agency's next case. Chet and his human partner, PI Bernie Little, have been hired to find a missing person—only the missing person is a cat. Miss Kitty, an internet sensation, has disappeared, and Chet and Bernie have been hired to find her before her many followers realize something is wrong.

Miss Kitty belongs to Bitty, a sweet teenage girl who lives with her mom. Bitty and her mother are struggling financially, but the arrival of Miss Kitty and the chance discovery of her social media appeal has changed everything. Bitty now has sponsors, a high-powered agent, and all the tools needed to thrive online, and real money is flowing in. At least, it was. With Miss Kitty gone, the family's income is on the line.

The case presents a slew of challenges for Chet and Bernie. For one thing, a potential witness is a pig named Senor Piggy who may be in possession of an important piece of evidence. For another, it seems like a possible perp has been killed twice—and there's evidence implicating Bernie in the crime.

Love Chet & Bernie’s new adventure!

Great, fresh new story. Always love the humor of Chet’s perspective. I have every one of these audio books and this one is a new favorite. If you’re a dog lover and enjoy a mystery as well, give this one a try!

Great!

Another great book by Spencer Quinn. Listen to it in one day. There are so many laugh out loud moments. Be careful listening while out in public. You will burst out laughing!

Chet and Bernie (and the “Beast”) ride again!

So happy to have another adventure narrated by the good, good boy, Chet, to enjoy.
Kudos to author Spencer Quinn, and narrator Jim Frangione, for the laugh out loud story.
This series is my go-to whenever I want to listen to books that always leave me smiling.

As always, Chet and Bernie slam it out of the park!

The world is capricious, even suddenly dangerous. So I buy my favorite books analog, and gently store them away, but almost immediately accessible if needed.
The "Chet and Bernie" series is absolutely worth saving; I have done so.

Please do try to find the books you you've always cared about, Do buy these used--paper or hardcover.

Bet on Chet!

Chet and Bernie books are so enjoyable! Quinn deftly interweaves humor and suspense all from Chet the dog’s point of view. The love and loyalty Chet and Bernie share is beautiful and inspiring. Always appreciate guest animal appearances in the books. Entertaining to follow Chet’s reactions to his new critter friends/foes/frenemies. Jim Frangione perfectly captures Chet’s sass and enthusiasm.
