The Twelve Dogs of Christmas

An Andy Carpenter Mystery

De: David Rosenfelt

Narrado por: Grover Gardner

Defense lawyer Andy Carpenter usually tries to avoid taking on new cases at all costs. But this time, he's happy - eager, even - to take the case that's just come his way. Andy's long-time friend Martha "Pups" Boyer takes in stray puppies that the local dog rescue center can't handle, raises them until they're old enough to adopt, and then finds good homes for them. Not everyone admires the work Pups does as much as Andy does, however.

With Christmas just around the corner, one of Pups's neighbors has just reported Pups to the city for having more than the legal number of pets in her home under the local zoning laws. Andy happily takes Pups's case, and he feels confident in a positive outcome. Who could punish someone for rescuing puppies, after all, especially at Christmastime? But things get a lot more complicated when Randy Hennessey, the neighbor who registered the complaint against Pups, turns up dead. Pups had loudly and publicly threatened Hennessey after he filed his complaint, and Pups was also the one to find his body. All the evidence seems to point to Pups as the killer, and suddenly Andy has a murder case on his hands. He doesn't believe Pups could be guilty, but as he starts digging deeper into the truth behind Hennessey's murder, Andy may find himself facing a killer more dangerous than he ever imagined.

With his trademark wit, larger-than-life characters, and clever plotting, David Rosenfelt delivers another gripping mystery.

Love the Andy Carpenter series, love the narrater!

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

Yes! I'm envious of those who have just found David Rosenfelt's Andy Carpenter series and have several books to enjoy. As for the rest of us, we have to impatiently wait for the next book.Best thing is, the author is a great writer AND a great person in real life that's devoted to rescuing dogs that most wouldn't adopt. Even his Facebook posts make me laugh. I'm a huge fan!

What did you like best about this story?

Love the self-depricating, quick witted Andy Carpenter and his fun characters (I do miss the "song talk" with Sam!).

What about Grover Gardner’s performance did you like?

Perfection. My favorite narrater. Excellent. You forget it's one person reading for all the characters.

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

I always laugh while listening to this series, and the touching moments are spot on.

Any additional comments?

I appreciate a good mystery with a dose of humor and the absence of unneeded gore or anything overly sad. I love good characters that don't all blend together, and a narrater that can bring it to life. This is all of that!

Great wordplay!

This is the first of David Rosenfelt's books I've listened to. What a great introduction to a fun character and I interesting mystery. Listen and enjoy.

Another awesome novel by David Rosenfelt

Fast read, fun and all about lovely animals. Have loved everyone of his books🌌 Cannot wait for the next one.

Some really good humorous lines!

Enjoyed it. Some laughs, a tear, and a interesting look into the legal world. Narration was good.

A Great Ending

I enjoyed the great ending. The best one yet! If you like the series you will know what I mean.

great listen.

You'll be smiling at the end. I guessed right, but that's my business. Enjoy your listen.

Andy doesn't disappoint

A good addition to the Andy Carpenter series, fans will not be disappointed. And Grover Gardner narrating, he is THE VOICE of Andy Carpenter.

kinda the same.....needs more Marcus!

his books always the same.....needs more Marcus character, more depth. but I do love snarky Andy!

Great Plot. Love the Narration

A few twists and turns close to the end. Like the narrator, you might figure out who is guilty, but can't prove it till the last few pages.

Rosenfelt hits another homer

Combines delightful characters, a good plot, lots of our favorite hero and his sidekicks of all species. Satisfies all mystery needs
