Listen "The Open Mic: Writers in Their Own Words with guest Spencer Quinn (Peter Abrahams)"
Episode Synopsis
Today's guest is one of the most successful writers working today, the extremely talented and versatile Peter Abrahams. He is joining us today to talk about, "Bark to the Future," the 13th and newest release in his fantastic and wildly popular Chet & Bernie mystery series, which he writes under his alter ego, Spencer Quinn. For those not yet acquainted with the series, our heroes are Bernie Little, an ex-cop turned PI, and his partner – and the story’s narrator – the one and only Chet the Jet, his faithful 100-pound K-9 school dropout. None other than Stephen King calls Chet & Bernie “without a doubt the most original mystery series currently available,” while the Boston Globe has dubbed Chet “the most lovable narrator in all of crime fiction.” And I want to be clear for anyone not familiar with the series, Chet is NOT a talking dog. But these stories are told through his eyes and with his very unique perspective.Straight up, I love this series and I’ll tell you it is one of the very few that I have long made a point of prompting others to read. These books are fun, they are interesting, they are loaded with humanity and humor and, most of all, heart.
