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.

So glad that David Rosenfelt is going strong. He keeps me laughing and enjoying the characters. I just wish that there had been more mystery to keep me guessing.

Another wonderful fun perfectly plotted book

I love this entire series and this newest addition does not disappoint. Grover Gardner does his usual wonderful job bringing all the characters to life, and the latest dog in this book, Truman, is saved from an awful fate, setting off a new mystery. I can't review these books individually as the whole series is a continuous story of all the great characters. The plots are always exciting and intricately thought out. I listen to these books over and over, my go to "happy place" with ear buds. I love the author, the narrator and even New Jersey! Thank you for this excellent series!

Too many people

There were so many characters in this book it was difficult to know what was going on. The plot wasn’t revealed until the last five minutes. But I love this series so I stuck with it!
