Paw And Order …

… a digital deal for a few more days – $1.99! Here’s what a recent reviewer on Amazon wrote about it:

Beginnings

On Sundays we do beginnings – taking a look at the start of a Peter Abrahams novel, including those written under the Spencer Quinn moniker™. How about Paw and Order, since Amazon has chosen it as a Kindle Daily Deal for the entire month of May? $1.99! A whole book for what’s maybe a teacup of gas at the pump.

(Chet’s Friend of the Month will be revealed tomorrow so there’w still time to enter at the FB page.)

 

We blasted out of bayou country, Bernie behind the wheel, me in the shotgun seat. Our ride’s a real old Porsche, the oldest we’ve had in our whole career. The last one got blown up; the one before that went off a cliff. And who can remember the one before that? Not me, amigo, except for how loud train whistles turn out to be from up real close. The point is old Porsches are how we roll at the Little Detective Agency, just one of the things that makes us so successful, leaving out the finances part, where we’ve run into some hiccups I won’t go into now. And don’t get me started on hiccups, which is the annoying thing about them, namely that you can’t stop. What else do you need to know? Bernie’s last name is Little, which is how come we’re the Little Detective Agency. I’m Chet, pure and simple.

(No) Beginnings

Normally on Sunday we do beginnings, taking a look at the start of a Peter Abrahams novel, including those written under the Spencer Quinn moniker. But instead (hat tip Ben Judah) how about this? Perhaps it will remind readers of the Chet and Bernie novel Paw and Order.

Beginnings (More)

On Sundays we’ve been doing beginnings – all the Peter Abrahams books in chronological order, including those written under the Spencer Quinn pen name. Here from 2014 – #32, PAW AND ORDER, seventh in the Chet and Bernie series (and second one on their road trip). C&B find themselves in that very dangerous place, Washington D.C.
