Description: Chet and
Bernie investigate a missing person in Louisiana. Book is narrated
by Chet the dog.
Plot: Chet and Bernie
travel to New Orleans to find Frenchie's brother, a reclusive
inventor who has gone missing, along with his houseboat and dog.
Along the way they discover a family feud reminiscent of the
Hatfields and McCoys, and find a shady oil company.
Characterization: Chet
is a really funny narrator, going off on tangents and getting
distracted by the things that would be important to a dog. Bernie is
a good detective altho not good with money management. All of the
secondary characters were well-developed.
Setting: Louisiana. The
descriptions were good, I was able to picture every scene.
Other: This is the sixth
book in the series. Chet tends to notice all of the same types of
things, but it is sufficiently humorous and varied that it didn't get
boring. Bernie really needs to learn money management.
Overall: A fun story.
Grade: B+
