Publisher's summary

"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)

The next audiobook in David Rosenfelt’s witty, heartfelt mystery series featuring lawyer Andy Carpenter and his faithful golden retriever, Tara.

When defense lawyer Andy Carpenter’s veterinarian asks to speak to him privately at the checkup of his golden retriever, Tara, the last thing Andy expects is Truman. Tiny, healthy French bulldog Truman was dropped off days ago with instructions to be euthanized by a man everyone thought was his owner. But now the owner is nowhere to be found.

Andy is furious. Who would want to euthanize a perfectly healthy dog with no explanation? He is willing to whisk Truman away to the Tara Foundation, the dog-rescue organization which is Andy’s true passion. They will find a home for Truman. But that’s not all the vet tells Andy. Thanks to Truman’s chip, it’s discovered that the man wasn’t Truman’s owner at all.... Truman's real owner was murdered.

It’s now up to Andy - with help from his loyal sidekick Tara, Truman, and the rest of the gang - to solve this case. In the latest in the popular Andy Carpenter mystery series, David Rosenfelt’s charmingly clever wit and love of dogs are back and better than ever.

Cannot put it down

great book like all his books are. You are going to love this book just like all of his other books. You don't need to read them in order but I do suggest it so you understand certain situations. Have fun reading of listening on audible or reading and listening like I do. Hope you like it as much as I do. I cannot get enough of his books. Now into the next one, oh shoot the next one comes out in late 2019.

Boom! Another great book!

I discovered the Andy Carpenter series after I read Heart of a Killer. I like the book so much I wanted to find out what else this author had written. From the the first book I read in the series I was hooked. I tore thru each book after that and just when I thought things couldn't get any better I found Grover Gardner and the voice for Andy and company. I own each audio book and when a fellow audio book lover is looking for a good book I always recommend this series.

Grover brings to life these characters created by David Rosenfelt. I have enjoyed listening to each book and following the growth of each person and their relationships. What I especially like about the books is that David can tell a story without profanity and the reluctant hero is really not that brave at all. He has people for that. I already have the next book on my wish list and I know I will be putting any and all work aside so I can listen uninterrupted to the next Andy Carpenter adventure.

These books are a must have.

l laughed out loud

"Lori had Marcus watch out for me. I know this for two reasons. One, whenever I am in a dangerous situation Lori always has Marcus watch out for me. And two, Lori just told me 'I'm gonna have Marcus look out for you.'"
This is my first book by this author and this narrator. I will definitely seek out more from both men.

Another great Andy Carpenter story!

This book like all the Andy Carpenter stories was humorous and light but with a good legal and investigative story line.

Grover Gardner is simply the best!

Worth the wait.

If you love dogs. If you love people. If you love to smile—and often laugh out loud—read or listen to every single David Rosenfelt book. Grover Gardner’s narration captures Andy’s voice and lovable rascal ness. When is nex one out? Thanks

Another Great listen!

If you haven’t read or listened to the Andy Carpenter Series it’s your loss. Timely, interesting, intelligent with a touch of humor on top. Grover Gardner’s narration is spot on. I hate to have them end. Thank you David Rosenfelt, you’ve done it again.
