Resumen del Editor

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An exciting intrigue story of twists, turns, and the rehabilitation of a loyal canine friend, Unleashed (audio) is a treat for mystery lovers and dog lovers alike!" ( The Midwest Book Review)

Rosenfelt / Gardner just keep getting better.

Unless you missed out on the Humor Gene, you will love every entry in Rosenfelt's Andy Carpenter series -- each one more than the last. If you have not yet listened to an Andy Carpenter novel, and are thinking of purchasing "Unleashed," I would suggest that you first listen to its predecessors, starting with "Open and Shut." Although Rosenfelt does a good job filling in needed backstory with each novel in the Andy Carpenter series, you will miss out on some of the fun if you jump into the middle of the series -- and Andy Carpenter 𝙙𝒆𝙛𝙞𝙣𝒆𝙨 the word "fun." This series loosely falls into the "legal thriller" genre, since Andy Carpenter -- despite all of his hilarious shenanigans -- is, in fact, a brilliant defense attorney; and these novels do feature action heroes, scary predicaments, and bad guys galore. They also feature brilliant courtroom scenes that will both entertain and impress you.

If you love dogs, then Rosenfelt's Andy Carpenter series is required reading for you. In fact, 𝙖𝙡𝙡 of Rosenfelt's novels will fall into that category -- particularly his stand-alone novels, in case you lack the Humor Gene, because they have more serious plots, still featuring dogs. Yes, Rosenfelt loves dogs unconditionally, inordinately, and obsessively, including them prominently in all of his novels. In fact, it speaks profoundly to his writing skill that I -- not a dog lover -- love his novels, dogs and all (until he says something bad about cats, that is, which he never does).

If you are a sports-loving couch potato, then Rosenfelt's Andy Carpenter series is required reading for you; because brilliant legal genius Andy Carpenter is also a sports-loving couch potato. I hope that no future character in this series forces Andy to choose between football and dogs, because that would put Andy into an untenable situation. (I think that he would choose dogs.) Again, Rosenfelt's excellent writing and plotting skills even overcome 𝙢𝙮 complete ignorance, apathy, and distaste for all spectator sports. I couldn't tell a football from a baseball bat, wouldn't know a sports star if he rode up on a bicycle, and have never owned a television; yet still I love Rosenfelt's novels: That shows how well he writes.

Get it? You can't go wrong with "Unleashed."

Andy is back again.

I love Andy Carpenter, he is so funny. The story was good, although it is basically the same story as the previous ones and if you have gotten this far in the series, you know what I mean. I will read Andy stories anyway, he is always fun. One thing I don't like is that he does the point of view from way to many characters and then kills them off. Love the narrator, he is Andy.

one of his best

Suspense and humor in solving a murder mystery. Kept me guessing till the end and left me with a smile on my face.

Two paws up

So happy to have another book in the Andy Carpenter series and this did not disappoint. Loved having all the old characters return. LOL at times, and story was interesting. Looking forward to the next one!

We want another Rosenfelt Dog Bood

Would you consider the audio edition of Unleashed to be better than the print version?

I never read the print version but I love the reader and I love the silly stories!!!

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

He is one of the best of all of the readers. I follow him around.

Andy never disappoints

I love all the Andy Carpenter mysteries so far, so not surprisingly, I love this one, too.

Another winner for David Rosenfelt!

Grover Gardner brings all the interesting characters to life in this series. Andy Carpenter is one of my favorite protagonists of all the many cozy mysteries I've read. Treat yourself to a fun "who done it".

Great Book

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

I would recommend this book to a friend especially if they love dogs. The dogs are not the central part of the book but add to the story.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I did not expect the story to take the turn it did. Very interesting.

Which scene was your favorite?

To hard to choose just one.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Another Golden saves a life.

Know your breed

While the story and performance were great. The dog on the cover is obviously NOT a golden and as a “golden retriever lover” that that the characters claim to be someone should be sure that the breed you put on the cover matches

back to form

loved this one a good story line back to the way I like them and with a twist
