Chet and Bernie Mystery

review 1: I have read a book narrated by a horse (Robert E. Lee's Traveler), a cat (Sneaky Pie Brown), and now a dog (Chet). The horse is a much better storyteller. Of course, he did have an unfair advantage, being present at the biggest battles of the Civil War.I got suckered into this book by its dust jacket which has a shot of Monument Valley, one of my very favorite locations. The story does take place in a valley, but it is not Monument. It is only a generic valley called the Valley. And it was only after I started reading that I realized that a dog was going to be the narrator.It really is true that you can't judge a book by its cover. But sometimes I forget.
review 2: Chet and Bernie are called to investigate threats against Princess, a contender in the national ... moredog show circuit. Things happen quickly with the kidnapping of Adelina Borghese the owner and her dog. Chet and Bernie begin to look for the woman when they find out that Susie Sanchez, Bernie's off and on girlfriend, is also missing. She had been working on a story about the dognapping. The trail leads them to a ghost town and a corrupt sheriff, This is a clever format. Chet tells a good story and seems to be the smarter of the two. Bernie gets going and with Chet's help, soon clears things up. I like this series though this book was not as good as the first one. less
