I am a big fan of the Chet and Bernie mystery series written by Spencer Quinn. When the first book, "Dog On It" was released a few years ago, I was hoping that this series would go on and on for many years. "Scents and Sensibility" is the eighth book in the Chet and Bernie series, and it is one of the best..
For those who are not familiar with the series, Chet is a large dog of over 100 pounds who was trained by the police. However, because a cat was involved, Chet didn't make it through training, and he was adopted by a private investigator named Bernie Little.
In Chet's eyes, Bernie can do no wrong. Together, Chet and Bernie solve crimes with Chet helping out by grabbing the perp's pant legs when needed.
In "Scents and Sensibility" the new case involves the son of Bernie's next door neighbors the Parsons. Billy Parsons is just out of prison after a stretch of 15 years for a kidnapping. During the the course of the book, Chet and Bernie will encounter, kidnappers, murderers and drug dealers. Along the way, readers will also be introduced to Chet's son.
"Scents and Sensibility is filled with action and adventure. Chet, who is the narrator of the series, is at his best. A reader can't help but laugh out loud at some of the things Chet comes up with. This book is particularly well-written, and the ending is certainly interesting.
I highly recommend this book. Even if this is the first book you have read in the series, it won't take long to figure things out. As with all of the books, the relationship between Chet and Bernie is what is important.
