Publisher's summary

Andy Carpenter and his golden retriever, Tara, are finding that all is not calm or bright in Silent Bite, the latest Christmas mystery in this heartwarming series from best-selling author David Rosenfelt.

Lawyer Andy Carpenter can finally take a breath; he's back on dry land after a family Caribbean cruise forced on him by his wife, Laurie, to get into the Christmas spirit. Of course the family's first stop is to the Tara Foundation, the dog rescue organization that has always been Andy's true passion.

But when Andy arrives, his partner, Willie Miller, needs his help. Willie's old cellmate, Glenn Anson, has been arrested for murder. Andy doesn't necessarily believe in Glenn, but Willie does. And Andy believes in Willie, which is why Andy decides to take the case.

Once again David Rosenfelt puts listeners in the Christmas spirit in a tale that is equal parts mystery and holiday cheer.

One of my Favorite Does

I love this series. It helps I am a huge dog lover myself. The combination of the witty/sarcastic writing and the spot on delivery of the narrator it is an easy and good listen.

Andy Carpenter never disappoints!

A great fun read with an unexpected ending. I love the sarcasm and humor that the Author provides us with. I’m a Rosenfelt fan.

Good story

Another good and fun story. I thought I had the murderer pegged… and then he got dead too. I love the humor, and the way the narrator portrays Andy —sarcasm and all— and others. If you like whodunit lite/cozy style mysteries then you’ll like this story. It’s not always my cuppa tea, but I enjoy Rosenfelt’s characters. I would grade this a solid B+

Loved having the gang together again

For me, the K team series just doesn’t compare. I couldn’t wait for silent bite to be available and I enjoyed every moment of familiar characters, legal descriptions, plot twistsAnd some of the best one-liners and snarky humor out there.

A home run

As Eddie might say, David Rosenfelt "hit it out of the park" with this book.

Fun Listen

This is a good story. The Christmas tie in is a bit weak but doesn’t hurt the plot. Grover Gardner does a great job with voices, especially Marcus! I wish these books included more Marcus. Andy Carpenter’s sarcastic description of Marcus is awesome. Marcus is a complex character with obvious back story! Tell me more through Carpenter’s eyes like in the book where the two travel to Vegas.
