I think I'll start with A Fistful of Collars by Spencer Quinn. YES!! Chet and Bernie are back with a vengeance, working to right all the wrongs in their Arizona world and beyond. In this latest adventure, Bernie agrees to keep watch over a troubled actor as he stars in an old western movie being made in the Valley. In fact, he is working for the mayor who believes the film industry is the answer to all of the area's money woes, and keeping Thad Perry safe is crucial to his plan. But Bernie soon discovers there is much more to this movie than is written in the script, and it is hard to keep someone out of trouble who has a death wish. Chet and Bernie have their hands and paws full digging into Thad's past to discover the reasons for his behavior. Is it all an act? Will Chad make his next call? Can Chet obey the command, "Quiet on the set!"? All will be revealed in the final scene.
I simply adore Chet and Bernie. They are the perfect crime-fighting team, and Chet is the ideal narrator. This is quite an extraordinary skill, because, if you didn't already know, Chet is a dog. The only problem with these books is waiting for the next one to come out. Sit and stay at your computer, Mr. Quinn! We're all waiting!!
