Thereby Hangs a Tail

A Chet and Bernie Mystery

By: Spencer Quinn

Narrated by: 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!

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.
