Murder, My Tweet: From the Tattered Casebook of Chet Gecko, Private Eye - Hardcover
Right in the middle of a run-of-the-mill case, the powers that be finger Chet's fine-feathered partner, Natalie Attired, as a no-goodnik blackmailer and boot her out of Emerson Hicky quicker than you can say, “Boot her out of Emerson Hicky.”
Chet, of course, tackles the case for free. Mess with his partner, mess with—well, somebody. (Natalie's the brains of the outfit.) But just when Chet thinks he might clear her name, Natalie disappears, leaving behind a reddish smear that looks kind of like cherry ladybug jam. . . . Is it murder, or something serious?

Review:
"Those who haven't read a "Chet Gecko" mystery don't know what they're missing."
"Beginning readers will appreciate the offbeat, likeable cast and quirky comedy and may well look forward to Gecko's second case."
"The clever dialogue is filled with the kind of sarcastic similes that would have made Mickey Spillane proud.... It may resonate with young fans who want to go beyond Marjorie Sharmat's "Nate the Great" series."
"This mystery is just right for young readers willing to suspend belief and enjoy a lighthearted ride. The author's black-and-white illustrations highlight the action." -- School Library Journal 10/1/2004 "School Library Journal 10/1/2004"
