To Fetch a Thief

The circus is in town, and the elephant is missing. Private investigators Chet and Bernie are on the case. The story is told by Chet, a dog with police training. It sounds silly and trite, but it's original and laugh-out-loud funny. Jim Frangione reads the voice of Chet with an earnest, straightforward style and perfect comedic timing. He captures the essence of "dog thought," the excitement of working a case, and Chet's loyal affection for his intriguing owner, Bernie. Frangione's pace intensifies as the case of the missing elephant becomes a gritty murder mystery. The heartwarming ending will have fans of the series and newcomers alike eager for the next installment. M.M.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
