Last November (2025), I got a pre-publication download (from Netgalley.com) of Cat on a Hot Tin Woof: A Chet & Bernie Mystery by Spencer Quinn, which has just been published on paper (April 2026). I enjoyed this latest (#16 in the series) as much as I liked the first couple of books. I'd kind of lost track of the series after Scents and Sensibility (#8), which I didn't think was as good as earlier ones, and hadn't read any since that one. However, this one still works even without knowing all the details of Detective Bernie Little's life in the intervening books. Chet, the canine member of the Little Detective Agency, doesn't always remember that kind of thing either. But the two of them are still solving cases as well as ever; this one starts with a missing cat and, like most mystery novels, gets a lot more complicated. The story being told from Chet's viewpoint makes this series stand out when a lot of mystery series blend together, and that's what made me come back to it.
