Chet and Bernie are on a rather crazy assignment. They need to track down an elephant and his trainer who have left a rather seedy circus. For some reason, not too many people seem concerned about the disappearance except one of the trainer's friends who insists that something is very wrong. Even after the trainer is found dead, the other circus performer insists that Chet and Bernie rescue Peanut, the elephant, from whoever has taken her. The search takes them to Mexico and they get involved in a very ugly situation. Bernie has also learned that his ex-wife's new fiance may be cheating on her and he has no idea what to do with that information.
The Chet and Bernie series by Spencer Quinn are always fun and enjoyable. Quinn does a great job of telling the story from Chet's point of view. Even though Chet is incredibly smart, Quinn keeps him realistic and a very sympathetic narrator.
Rating - B+
