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 and Miss Kitty

Jim Frangione narrates this story perfectly from Chet's perspective. 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. This has humor, suspense, mystery and wonderful characters.

So Much Fun!

I'm a big Chet and Bernie fan. If you haven't had a chance to read this series -- I hope you do! The narrator really brings the stories to life and make it fun to listen. The stories consistently pull me in. Love all the characters who often reappear in Chet and Bernie's adventures. After I've been listening to some heavy dramas or intense thrillers, Chet and Bernie is always a perfect break to just relax and enjoy myself.

The perfect match among story, characters and reader.

Love, love, love the series. No dip in the quality after so many episodes. And if course I love Chet the Jet.

Does Not Disappoint!

I love all things Chet and Bernie, and this book is no exception. These characters are very well developed and becoming attached to them is easy. I look forward to the next one!

Worth the wait!

More Weatherly on the next one, please. Otherwise, no complaints. Chet keeps getting wiser with age.
