Bernie Little are handed a hard case in the Big Easy.
When Chet and Bernie happen upon a prison work crew that includes Frenchie Boutette, an old criminal pal they sent up the river, getting a new case is the last thing they expect. But Frenchie, who comes from an old Louisiana family full of black sheep, needs help finding his one law-abiding relative, his brother Ralph, a reclusive inventor who has gone missing with his houseboat. Though he’s tempted to take another job (with a big payday) in Alaska, Bernie decides to set course for the bayous of Louisiana, a trip that will introduce Chet to a world of sights, smells, and tastes that are like nothing he’s ever encountered.
Out in bayou country, Chet and Bernie meet the no-good Boutette family and their ancient enemies, the maybe-even-worse Robideaus, and at first it seems as if Ralph’s disappearance is connected to a dispute over a load of stolen shrimp. But when Chet uncovers a buried clue, the investigation heads in a dangerous new direction involving the oil business and an impending environmental catastrophe. The more Chet and Bernie discover about Ralph, the more treacherous the job becomes, and soon they’re fighting not only Big Oil, but also shadowy black ops figures, a violent biker gang from back home, and Iko—a legendary bayou gator with a seemingly insatiable appetite. Meanwhile, deep under the Gulf, the pressure just keeps building.
With top-notch suspense, humor, and genuine insight into the ways our canine companions think and behave—all set against a rollicking new Louisiana backdrop—The Sound and the Furry will make you howl in delight.

The Sound and the Furry. What a great title. And what an underwhelming book. I've read all the Chet and Bernie stories and have very much enjoyed the series, but what was once fresh and new has become tired and formulaic.
Bernie is broke. No matter what happens, he's always broke, and despite being 'the smartest human in the room', he can't balance a check book. It was funny at first, but now, I'm kinda scratching my head saying, 'Wake up, Bernie, and cash the check before he go to Louisiana!" And in the end, Bernie is once again offered enormous sums of money from 'bad' people that he refuses. I don't blame him for refusing, but the scenario is tired.
Suzie is jealous and has trust issues. When will she ever wake up and realize that Bernie loves her and is faithful to her? How many times must we watch her travel to see Bernie, arrive and find him in an awkward situation and immediately assume he is cheating on her? And then drive away without waiting for an explanation while Bernie babbles on inarticulately? Relationships can't work without trust, but no matter what happens, Suzie always assumes the worst. She's like the anti-Chet.
Bernie has friends in strange places. They credit him with being a fabulous person who saved lots of lives. Then the case Bernie's working on gets complicated and suddenly the friend isn't much of a friend anymore. Rick Torres usually plays this role as well (forever fed-up with, then angry with, then ultimately ok with Bernie, until the next novel). In The Sound and the Furry, however, there's no resolution with the 'friend'. He just disappears.
And then there's the ending, an ending so hastily written even Chet seemed confused. What was up with Mack? What was going on in Alaska? Was it connected or not?
