"Listening to Grover Gardner narrating a David Rosenfelt novel is like sliding into favorite slippers at the end of a long day: One feels the joyful gratification of a perfect fit." —AudioFile on Bark of Night

In National Bestseller David Rosenfelt’s ‘Twas the Bite Before Christmas, all through the Carpenter house, five dogs are stirring, and not even Andy can get out of working this next case at his door.

Reluctant lawyer Andy Carpenter is at the Tara Foundation’s annual Christmas party. The dog rescue organization has always been his true calling, and this is one holiday tradition he can get behind because every dog that’s come through the rescue—and their families—are invited to celebrate.

This year’s party is no exception. But before the stockings can be hung by the chimney with care, homicide detectives ruin the evening. Derek Moore, one of the foundation’s best foster volunteers, is arrested for murder.

Andy discovers Derek—whose real name is Bobby—is in the witness protection program after giving evidence against his former gang. The police believe Bobby murdered a member. But Bobby swears to Andy he didn’t do this. He’s built a new life, a new business, has two new dogs after being a double foster-failure.

There isn’t much Andy likes about this case, but he likes Bobby. If he’s innocent, Andy wants to help. Before Andy can settle down for his long winter’s nap, he has a client’s name to clear, a murderer to catch, and two new dogs to look after: a golden and a Dalmatian. Andy’s golden retriever, Tara, will have to adjust to not being the only golden at the house while Andy gets to the bottom of this one…

Ya just gotta love Andy Carpenter!

David Rosenfelt never disappoints! Engaging plot, incredibly lovable characters, and an ending that was unexpected, at least for me. I will patiently (somewhat) await his next Andy Carpenter installment.

Excellent as usual!

I wish I could get everyone to listen to the Andy Carpenter series! I love the mystery as well as the characters interactions. And I also love the narrator. You’ll know the score once you start the series…but just like the old Perry Mason mysteries..you still couldn’t wait until the next one… I can’t wait until the next one for Andy either!

Always enjoyable & the twists keep coming!!

The wit & legal angles never disappoint. The reader captures Andy Carpenter perfectly I can always count on an amusing listen.

David Rosenfelt always delivers a hit with Andy!

Grover Gardner is the best at delivery on Andy! I wouldn’t listen to anyone else narrate these stories!

After listening to this book a second time I found out it had to be his partner.

I liked the way the lawyer handled himself in court. He really believed in is client, not all lawyers do.
