"Great read and even better to listen to"
I thoroughly enjoy all the Andy Carpenter series. they are fast paced, full of twists and turns and frequently have unexpected outcomes. Have listened to them all. Grover Gardener captures the personality of Andy exceptionally.
"A Light Read"
This was an OK story, nothing thrilling but easy to listen to and able to keep my interest. I was expecting the dog to play more of a role than he did, but there was enough going on in the plot to keep me on my toes.
"Another favorite series of mine!"
First of all, I want to make it clear that I meant four and a half stars when I gave four. It's just you can't give four and a half here.
This is another one of my favorite mystery series. One of my silly rules about the selection of books is I avoid those where lawyers or cops feature as The main character. This is because I don't want anything serious or too hard-core.
Though this series is about a dog-loving lawyer, he's not your average lawyer. All serious and aggressive. And the fact that the cases always involve dogs helps soften the whole plot.
If you are a cozy mystery reader but a little bit tired of too silly stories and still not want to switch over to hard-core thrillers, I would recommend Rosenfelt.
"Nice easy to listen to series."
All of the Andy Carpenter Series has twists, turns, the occasional joke. The recurrant characters become part of the experience making it enjoyable to figure what part they will play. The banter and humour between friends makes this a pleasurable listen.
I had tried audiobooks before and didn't enjoy them. A friend made some recommendations and fortunatly I picked the first book of the Andy Carpenter series and was pleased at Grover Gardners narration. Once I finish this series i will try more by this narrator.
"Another winner from New Jersey"
I think I'm hooked on the Andy Carpenter books. I hope they never change Narrators either. The combination is perfect. This is not all that "Doggy" a book. No fluffy puppy stuff. This is a serious mystery, or crime drama. Well, It's hard to use the word serious because there is so much tongue-in-cheek humour to relieve the stress. The self- deprecating humour throughout the story makes it all very human, and brings you in to the story. There is a conversational tone that involves you in what is going on and puts you inside Andy's head.
The Narrator handles it all perfectly. There is enough of the accent/rhythm to give life to the dialog, but you also understand every word.
"My favorite series EVER!"
Would absolutely recommend!
Andy is always my favorite.
I've only listened to this series. He IS Andy Carpenter.
"Prepare to Laugh"
When you are looking to have a laugh by a sarcastic John Grisham type then go to David Rosenfelt. His Andy Carpenter books are some of my favorites. This is one of the best. Great reading by Grover Gardner.
Any dialog by Andy Carpenter can create a belly laugh.
"Very entertaining!"
