What They're Saying

Critics Review

Praise for the Chet and Bernie series:

“I have been a Chet and Bernie fan from the start. Chet is a wonderful narrator–top dog, you could say–but he never descends to cuteness, and Bernie is as tough a PI as Spade or Marlowe, a man as quick with his .38 as he is with a Slim Jim for his sidekick. I’m already jonesing for the next one.” –Stephen King

“A tidy mystery, a good dollop of action, and a rumination on life after high school–who could ask for more? Chet, with his innate doggie wisdom, is sure to inspire loyal fans and seduce new readers.” –Publishers Weekly on Bark to the Future

“Chet’s narration provides humor and insight, and Bernie’s search into his own past provides meditations on growing up and growing apart.” –Library Journal on Bark to the Future

“Would that we all were as infallible in our dogs’ eyes as Bernie is in Chet’s.” –Susan Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of The Dog I Loved
