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.

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.

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.

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.

Would absolutely recommend!

Andy is always my favorite.

I've only listened to this series. He IS Andy Carpenter.

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.

Just a very well written and entertain book. Love the characters and the story lines always keep me hooked!!

Fun witty entertainment

Yes. Keeps getting better

Love his turn of phrase

Enjoyed both books - looking forward to his next one.

Very near the top for sheer entertainment

One Second After

Milo, the dog

Milo, so I could scratch his ears and see him smile!

I'll be purchasing more of these Andy Carpenter books!

If you haven't before enjoyed the pleasure of listening to a David Rosenfelt book (especially one of the Andy Carpenter series) read by Grover Gardner, do so now. The basic themes of a lawyer supporting someone wrongly accused, heroic acts by one of Man's Best Friends, and a cast of supporting characters that will keep you laughing and loving will entertain you for hours.

These books are no literary genius, they are quick to get through, and well worth it all.
