Publisher's summary

Andy Carpenter isn't sure what to think when he gets a mysterious phone call from a good friend, policeman Pete Stanton, asking him to drop everything, drive to an unfamiliar address, and bring his girlfriend, Laurie Collins. He certainly isn't expecting to show up at a crime scene. But that's exactly where he arrives - at the house where Pete has just discovered the body of ex-convict Danny Balfour. Upstairs are Danny's now orphaned four-year-old son and basset hound. And that, Andy discovers, is why he and Laurie were called to the scene - Pete wants them to take care of the boy and the dog so they won't get thrown into the "system". This is already asking a lot, but soon Pete needs another big favor from Andy. Pete himself has come under suspicion for Danny's murder, and he needs defense attorney Andy to represent him - and to find out what really happened in Danny's house that day!

Another Satisfying Andy Adventure

I always enjoy the series: Andy has plenty of everything -money, loving relationships, support- a great fantasy to enter in to and now his family is enhanced. The narration is great too; the voice and pacing expresses Andy to a 'T'.

Tense , touching, hilarious...!!

At one point our Lily livered legal beagle exclaims.." I was afraid of the Cookie Monster until I was 17 🤣🤣 Geez these are great stories. masterful writing, narration, Corkscrew plot twist, no extraneous filler, Loose Ends neatly tied up and even a happy ending to boot. one could not ask for more bright entertainment. I'm glad I still have a dozen more to go in the series 👍👍👍

Another great Andy Carpenter story

Would you listen to Hounded again? Why?

Probably, just to hear Grover Gardner's performance

Who was your favorite character and why?

Marcus. An Andy Carpenter story is just not the same without the man of few words

What does Grover Gardner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I recommended the Andy Carpenter series to a friend. He bought one of the books and couldn't really get into it. Why? It occurred to me that it was since I had listened to all the series and not read them. Gardner portrays the essence of Rosenfelt's characters

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Mostly smile

Any additional comments?

More of Andy please. These books are not deep, just great fun to listen to especially on a long drive.

Andy Carpenter at it again.

If you love the Andy Carpenter stories this one will not disappoint. All the usual suspects are accounted for Tara, Pete and Marcus as well as a new one. Grover Gardner is the perfect voice for Andy and his performance is outstanding as always. It's not Rosenfelt's best, but still more than enjoyable and well worth s listen.

Pace and Characters

Most American mystery writers, I hate. They try to write emotional scenes and fail. Just get to the story which this book does. Add in a bit of humor and a good pace and interesting characters, well there it is.

Love this series!

Plenty of plot twists and suspense but Andy's sarcastic wit and the family of characters is what sets this series apart.
