Will these books win literature awards? Probably not. Are they entertaining? Absolutely! This is not my favorite of the series so far, but I love that they are narrated by the dog, Chet. Does Chet miss things that the reader needs to solve the crime? Of course he does. He‘s a dog and falls asleep while Bernie is thinking out loud, but that‘s part of the charm. I ❤️ Chet and he was what I needed to get through a couple of bad days.
