I’ve read and loved all the books in the series, and I picked this one up late at night when I knew I had only a few minutes to start it. Within the first few pages, Chet’s attitude toward life had become infectious and I went to bed with a smile and lightness of spirit. The only thing that kept me from reading the book in one sitting was the desire to live in Chet’s world a bit longer.The Louisiana setting provides great opportunity for Chet to encounter previously unknown challenges such as fishing nets that seem animated and intent upon pulling him toward the bottom of the ocean, the ocean itself extending from the bayou, and an alligator living in that bayou. As always, Chet the Jet comes through adversity with flying colors, or at least that’s how he remembers it. Chet remains a very positive guy, with just a dash of introspection. His understanding of himself goes only so deep, however, and more often than not is pleasantly humorous. As Chet and Bernie are flying down the highway, Chet is feeling decidedly undisturbed by events in the plot that have Bernie wondering about wishful thinking. “A puzzler. Was there a kind of thinking that wasn’t wishful? I found myself…wishing the answer would come to me, and began to feel vaguely disturbed after all.”In addition to a possible kidnapping, the plot involves a shrimp heist, a family feud, drug dealers, and an oil drilling company’s perfidy. How they all fit together is part of the fun of the book, so I won’t spoil it. With the book being told from Chet’s perspective, the sensory descriptions place the reader right into the location. The smells and sounds, and to a lesser extent the sights, of the landscape bring it to life. Chet’s character is the most thoroughly developed even if it is quite straightforward, and through the device of having Chet experience confusion at other characters’ interactions with Bernie, Bernie’s character is more nuanced than it would be if seen only through the lens of Chet’s adoration. The plot is complex and twisty, but Chet and Bernie persevere through it all, overcoming odds and perps, to solve the case.This is a great series with each book building on the previous one. However, Quinn makes it possible for the new reader to jump right in with any book. THE SOUND AND THE FURRY would be a great place to start if you haven’t met Chet’s and Bernie’s acquaintance yet. I imagine that once having met them, you’ll want to join them on all their other adventures. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly underwhelming *by V***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 1, 2013* The Sound and the Furry. What a great title. And what an underwhelming book. I've read all the Chet and Bernie stories and have very much enjoyed the series, but what was once fresh and new has become tired and formulaic.Bernie is broke. No matter what happens, he's always broke, and despite being 'the smartest human in the room', he can't balance a check book. It was funny at first, but now, I'm kinda scratching my head saying, 'Wake up, Bernie, and cash the check before he go to Louisiana!" And in the end, Bernie is once again offered enormous sums of money from 'bad' people that he refuses. I don't blame him for refusing, but the scenario is tired.Suzie is jealous and has trust issues. When will she ever wake up and realize that Bernie loves her and is faithful to her? How many times must we watch her travel to see Bernie, arrive and find him in an awkward situation and immediately assume he is cheating on her? And then drive away without waiting for an explanation while Bernie babbles on inarticulately? Relationships can't work without trust, but no matter what happens, Suzie always assumes the worst. She's like the anti-Chet.Bernie has friends in strange places. They credit him with being a fabulous person who saved lots of lives. Then the case Bernie's working on gets complicated and suddenly the friend isn't much of a friend anymore. Rick Torres usually plays this role as well (forever fed-up with, then angry with, then ultimately ok with Bernie, until the next novel). In The Sound and the Furry, however, there's no resolution with the 'friend'. He just disappears.And then there's the ending, an ending so hastily written even Chet seemed confused. What was up with Mack? What was going on in Alaska? Was it connected or not? Why did Bernie take the job--he says at one point it is because he thinks Ralph would be a nice guy to meet, but they spend ZERO time together for all that--no talk of jazz or dogs. So therefore?And then there's the little things, such as the still-unresolved continuity error of Chet having memories of the Leda Days, when the canonical novella 'A Cat was Involved' clearly indicates that Chet and Bernie met well after the divorce. If they remarried and THEN had Charlie? In all this time, how could Chet have no brought that up? Oh well.On the plus side, Chet is, as always (and here it's a good thing), an engaging and hilarious narrator. With the coolest collar ever. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1700093-the-sound-and-the-furry-a-chet-and-bernie-mystery](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1700093-the-sound-and-the-furry-a-chet-and-bernie-mystery) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-05*
