Publisher's summary

Audie Award Winner, Mystery, 2014

Andy Carpenter's accountant, Sam Willis, receives a surprise call from Barry Price, a friend he hasn't spoken to in years. Barry needs Sam's financial acumen and Andy's legal expertise. But when Sam almost runs over an injured dog on the way to Barry's house, he can't drive off without waiting for help. By then, Barry's taken off on a private airplane headed to who-knows-where. Soon after they learn that Barry's plane has crashed, and they come to the terrifying realization that Sam was also supposed to have been killed on that plane. Barry was in far more serious trouble than either of them knew, and for Sam and Andy, the trouble is only beginning.

Rosenfelt and Gardner do it well again

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The whole series of Andy books should be heard by all. I would recommend this book to all of the Audible Universe.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Actually it took me two days to finish listening. The plot, characters, language as pronounced by the narrator were outstanding. Andy never gets old.

Any additional comments?

I can not wait for the next book.

Another new plot and fun listen

Rosenfelt does it again! I listened to almost the whole book on a long plane ride. I never tire of Andy Carpenter's sarcasm and Grover Gardner's narration.

In this episode there is a major conspiracy underway, lots of deaths in attempts to cover loose ends, and someone close to Andy is accused and held for a murder. Andy's usual entourage is here, too. Everyone joins in to see that justice is served and the bad guys are thwarted.

Awesome series

This is a fun entertaining series. The characters are wonderful, particularly the male lead, Andy. His dog is my favorite character, and the dogs that play supporting roles are all excellent. Great narrator.

Hurray for David Rosenfelt and Andy Carpenter!

Where does Unleashed rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

All of David Rosenfelt's books rank high on my list of audiobooks. I particularly like Grover Garder as narrator. His voice perfectly matched Andy Carpenter's dry wit! Unleashed was right up there with his other books!

Which character – as performed by Grover Gardner – was your favorite?

I also love Rosenfelt's includsion of dogs. I am a dog lover and, while Tara the dog is a not a major player in the book, she adds a nice touch and bring out the hero's best side: He's a dog lover!

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

While the plot is tight and suspenseful, one of my favorite things about David Rosenfelts books in his humor. I always laugh out loud!

🥰Hilda Mandelbaum🥰

WHAT a WONderful name! As a progressive (NON-evangelical) Christian, I’d never heard of rugalach - and I misspelled it while ordering some from Amazon, knowing that they will be nowhere near the quality of Hilda’s. 🤗 Luuuove Andy’s quiet Amazing Generosity, his perfect self-deprecating humor, and ALL of the adorable YMHA’s “over the hill” computer Geniuses! 👏🤾🏻‍♀️🥳

Didn't see that coming

While all the Andy Carpenter books follow a similar pattern there are always enough differences and surprises to keep it interesting. Unleashed is no exception. Add in several off the wall characters as well as Andy's snarky humor and it's still one of my favorite series. Unfortunately it was done all too soon and now I have to wait until the next installment.
