Dogged Pursuit

An Andy Carpenter Mystery

De: David Rosenfelt

Narrado por: Grover Gardner

In Dogged Pursuit, David Rosenfelt takes listeners back to the start of this beloved series as Andy Carpenter begins his career as a defense attorney in Paterson, New Jersey.

Andy Carpenter has spent the three years since graduating law school working as a prosecutor in Paterson. But having seen how the system never looks out for the little guy, he leaves to start his own practice as a defense attorney. His office might be a little bit of a dump, but he's excited to make a change.

Andy goes to the shelter to adopt a dog, where he meets his beloved golden retriever, Tara, for the first time and feels an immediate connection. The shelter is crowded and Tara's been sharing space with a dog named Sunny; Andy hates to break them up and so asks to take Sunny, too, but since there's a pending criminal case involving the owner, he'll need to get written permission for temporary possession.

Andy discovers that Sunny's owner, Frank Tierney, has been arrested for the murder of his ex-boss. But he takes an immediate liking to Frank and his clear dedication to his dog, and ends up with his first case along with the two dogs.

This prequel to the long-running and perennially popular Andy Carpenter mysteries is a gift for fans and a terrific entry-point for newcomers.

“In his vivid portrayal of the wisecracking Andy, Gardner creates a sense of a cheerful reunion with the lawyer for longtime listeners and a warm greeting for newcomers.” —AudioFile on Muzzled

Surprize timeline ... very interesting

like everything dislike nothing ... I am an avid fan and this book lives up to the standard.

A Look Back

This was a fun story because it was a prequel and we get to learn how some things got started. I loved learning more about the origin of friendships, career and quirks that make Andy special. There is lots of fast moving excitement, mystery and action. It’s hard to put it down and do what I “should” be doing.

wonderful prequel. the story and the narrator are exceptional as always. so enjoyable.

Loved every word. so much fun and answered so many questions about how Andy started as a defense attorney. Grover Gardner is Andy carpenter. there can be no other. David Rosenfelt is as humorous and inventive as always.

Hurrah for Grover Gardner!

This book is great fun; I liked learning about how Andy and Tara met, and how Andy and Laurie met. I have audio books of nearly the entire Andy Carpenter series. I love the characters and the stories; they are delightful, and I very much enjoy reading them. But I especially enjoy the audio books as read by Grover Gardner. His voice and intonation express Andy Carpenter's sharp mind and sense of humor perfectly. I don't think I've reviewed Grover Gardner's narration before, but his reading of these books brings them to life so that the audio books are even better than the printed books are.

love the mystery...and the fact that it goes black to beginnings.

love the whole series and especially the character of Andy and the dog Tara. the reader is excellent!

It went back to his first marriage and told how he became a criminal defense attorney.

David Rosenfelt did not disappoint. As with all his books, it was engaging and hard to put down. If I have to complain, I would like them to be longer.
Also, I could listen to Grover Gardner any time. He makes the stories come to life!

Always a twist!

Love the Andy Carpenter series!!! One of my favorites!! And I recommend to friends frequently! Always a twist and some laugh out loud areas!!

I absolutely love going back to the beginning learning more about Tara and Andi and Lori‘s relationship! This book was a breath of fresh air, and I enjoyed every minute of it!
