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.
