The Iggy Papers

Nixon looked across the Championship Autobody yard to where Mindy Jo, Nixon’s sister, was pointing out something on a mashed-up SUV she’d just brought in on the wrecker to Bernie. Mindy Jo was big and strong, with big strong arms covered with the tattooed faces of all the boyfriends she’d ever had. Once she’d pulled the sleeve of her T-shirt way way up and said, “There’s room up here for you, Bernie.” Bernie laughed. His normal laugh is the best sound in the world, but he also has a very small laugh of what you might call the nervous kind, which was the one he laughed then.

Stephen King on Of Mutts and Men

“I have been a Chet and Bernie fan from the start, and this is the best one yet—suspenseful, laugh-out-loud funny in places, and surprisingly tender. This is without a doubt the most original mystery series currently available. Chet is a wonderful narrator—top dog, you could say—but he never descends to cuteness, and Bernie is as tough a PI as Spade or Marlowe, a man as quick with his .38 as he is with a Slim Jim for his sidekick. I’m already jonesing for the next one.”
