Dog on it

Dog on it is by Spencer Quinn and I've had the arc in my box for about a week and having read it if you can pardon the pun its doggone good.

Meet Chet - he has a good eye for colour a keen sense of smell and his favourite foods are hotdogs and leather handbags. Chet partners Bernie Little a down on his luck PI. Bernie takes on a case of a missing 15 year old as a change from divorce work. She could just be a teenage runaway but Bernie doesn't think so, he has a nose for these things. Through Chet's Sam Spade narration the case unfolds and it's a tangled one involving kidnap, dodgy land financiers, abandoned mines and the bright lights of Vegas. Quinn is working on his second Chet and Bernie mystery right now so lets hope we hear more of this canine detective.
