Scents and Sensibility: A Chet and Bernie Mystery

By Spencer Quinn

Book Overview

This "creative and whimsical" (New York Journal of Books) entry in the Chet and Bernie Mystery follows Chet and his human PI companion, Bernie Little, as they investigate a mysterious case of illegal cactus smuggling.When Private Investigator Bernie Little and his canine companion Chet return home, they encounter some alarming developments. First off, Bernie's wall safe--normally hidden behind the waterfall picture in the office--is gone. And next door, old Mr. Parsons is under investigation for being in possession of a saguaro cactus illegally transplanted from the desert. Bernie and Chet go deep into the desert to investigate. Is it possible that such a sweet old man has a terrible secret in his past? Chet and Bernie discover bad things going on in the wilderness, far worse that cactus smuggling, and all connected to a strange but innocent-seeming desert festival called Cactus Man. They unearth leads that take them back to a long-ago kidnapping that may not have been a kidnapping and threaten a ruthless and charismatic criminal with a cult following, a criminal who sees at once what Chet and Bernie mean to each other and knows how to exploit it. "Charmingly offbeat" (Publishers Weekly), Scents and Sensibility is a drool-worthy mystery that will have readers everywhere begging for more.

Amazing

All of these books in the Chet & Bernie series are AMAZING amazing books! Bernie, a private detective and Chet, his K-9 dog, solve crimes and their adventures are narrated by the dog, Chet! It is SO fun to see what Spencer Quinn thinks dogs think about! Chet will CRACK you up from cover to cover and keep you enthralled with the storyline and plot. After I read the first book in the series "Dog On It," I read the whole series in succession. You'll laugh and smile through this entire book. I like to read books in order but it is not a necessity; I started the series with the 2nd book and went back and read the 1st. So if you pick up this or any book in this series & read them out of order you won't be lost. Happy reading!
