To Fetch a Thief by Spencer Quinn is a non-stop rollercoaster of adventure
Chet's best story yet

To Fetch a Thief is the best Chet and Bernie mystery yet. Although it helps to have read the first two books in the series, this book can stand proudly on its own.
Die-hard Chet fans--and there are many, just visit the website--love the books for their true-to-life narration from the voice of the dog. At least, it's how those of us who personify our dogs imagine that they think. Mystery lovers enjoy the plot with its twists and turns and, of course, some odious (and, luckily, odorous) villains.

“Stay”
by Allie Larkin
c.2010, Brilliance Audio $29.99 / $37.50 Canada 9 CDs, just over 10 hours
When was the last time you did something magnificently, incredibly dumb?
For most of us, the answer is anywhere from “yesterday” to “twenty seconds ago”, and we spend a lot of time scolding ourselves for being knuckleheads. That’s because we all do things we regret sooner or later.
In the new audiobook “Stay” by Allie Larkin, Savannah “Van” Leone did not just one, but three really boneheaded things - all in the same weekend. And life will never be the same again.

The little black-and-white dog knocked into furniture and hid things in his crate. He couldn’t go up or down stairs, didn’t know how to climb onto a couch. Flushing toilets and clanging pots sent him running from the room. He wasn’t a bad dog—he simply didn’t know any better; he’d never lived in a house. His lack of social grace earned him the name Jonny Rotten. “He was a caveman,” says Cris Cohen, a Burlingame, Calif., car-dealership manager who provided Jonny with a foster home. “He had no manners.”

“Scent of the Missing”
by Susannah Charleson
c.2010, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt $26.00 / $32.50 Canada 304 pages
A valued member of your household has a big job.
He’s in charge of security, which he does well, but there’s more. He’s also part vacuum cleaner, taste-tester in the kitchen, part psychiatrist, entertainer, and exercise machine. He doubles as baby-sitter in a pinch, and if allowed on the sofa, he’s an interior decorator.
Best news: he works for cheap. All he needs are treats, a behind-the-ear skritch, and a “good boy, good job” now and then.
No doubt, it’s a dog’s life but in the new book “Scent of the Missing” by Susannah Charleson, you’ll meet a pup whose job is a life-or-death matter.
