Heart of Barkness
Spencer Quinn
Private
Investigator Bernie Little is the owner of Little Detective Agency
where he investigates cases with his partner, his dog Chet. In Heart
of Barkness, Bernie and Chet set
out to help Lotty Pilgrim, a musician who has fallen on hard times.
When her manager/boyfriend Clint is killed, Lotty is arrested for the
crime. Bernie is convinced that she didn't do it, but when she
decides to confess to the crime, Bernie knows that he and Chet will
have to delve deep into her past to find out who killed Clint and
why.
This was my first time reading a Chet and Bernie mystery. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I didn't realize at first that the story would be told from Chet's point of view. Initially, I wasn't sure this was going to be a book for me, but the more I read, the more entertaining it was. By the end, I rather enjoyed and appreciated Chet's unique point of view. Seeing things from the dog's perspective was not only entertaining it highlighted areas that would have otherwise been missed, making this a very engaging story. Frankly, it was unlike anything I've read lately. I would, therefore, be open to reading another Chet and Bernie adventure.
Thanks to Forge Books for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
