PI Bernie Little and Chet are hired to find a kidnapped elephant and her trainer. It’s complicated, and they have to cover a lot of territory. Later Bernie and Chet are separated, and Chet has to find Peanut, the elephant, and Bernie, who’s in trouble… I love Chet and Peanut and “Pobre.” (Chet doesn’t understand Spanish.) So many great scenes with Chet and Peanut and “Pobre” and Bernie and the nasty baddies and some great lines. (Bernie has some good ones.) I’d love to share them, but mustn’t spoil them for you. Interesting background also. Highly recommended.
I’ve read more Chet and Bernie mysteries, but this is the best.
