What first seems like a walk in the park to wise and lovable canine narrator Chet and his human companion Bernie—to investigate threats made against a pretty, pampered show dog—turns into a serious mystery when Princess and her owner are abducted. To make matters worse, Bernie’s on-again, off-again girlfriend, reporter Susie Sanchez, disappears too. When Chet is separated from Bernie, this clever sleuth is on his own to put the pieces together, find his way home, and save the day. Spencer Quinn’s “brilliantly original” ( Richmond Times-Dispatch ) and “masterful” ( Los Angeles Times ) series combines genuine suspense and intrigue with humor and insight for a tail-wagging good time dog lovers won’t soon forget. Review: Can’t get enough of Chet and Bernie - Chet and Bernie make a great team. The storyline is good, but getting a glimpse into Chet’s thoughts make it a special ride. Review: Dogs do like people - For all you non-counters, this is book two in a series. So far there are four books and I have read all of them. This makes it hard to say somethings about an individual book, my impression is colored by all the other books. For example I read the series in time sequence, as I come now to review the books I see no need whatsoever for following in sequence, in fact I think any of the books could have been read first, and some of the books would benefit from it. What is the problem? Repetition is prevalent and it interferes with the story line. Chet is constantly saying, "So and so did such and such and is now wearing an orange suit in some prison." The so and so's are all different, the crimes are also so that means there are all these countless stories available to be told and Chet says so, "I may tell this tale later." Now these solutions must have returned a fee, so there is money available but according to Chet Bernie is always short of cash ad they need cases to make money, a contradiction. Quinn never solves it, he lets Chet continue to introduce these other cases with a teaser for a possible book on the case. Then "Thereby Hangs a Tail" brings in Suzie, she becomes an element in the telling, giving Chet more chances to be repetitive, this may be what we expect in a dog but it ruins the book. In this story Chet does little, Bernie does all the thinking, and Quinn does this nicely, making the book interesting but also leaving glaring vacancies in the story. Still I thought it was a good ending, although contrived characters. I want to tip you off, this book has the worst sketched characters, the other three are all much better and Chet spoils some good writing by his repetitions. Still I think they are worth reading. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #91,552 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,562 in Cozy Animal Mysteries #4,807 in Suspense Thrillers #8,293 in American Literature (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,547 Reviews | ## Images ![Thereby Hangs a Tail: A Chet and Bernie Mystery (The Chet and Bernie Mystery Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JTcLpG1gL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can’t get enough of Chet and Bernie *by S***N on August 26, 2026* Chet and Bernie make a great team.

The "nation within" revealed in ways often overlooked and misunderstood by their human counterparts. Chet the Jet stands tall through another great adventure with deductive skills on "paw" ;-) with Sherlock himself.
