Publisher's summary

In this Christmas mystery, lawyer Andy Carpenter and his golden retriever, Tara, are on the beat after a body turns up in the snow and a journalist is the prime suspect.

Christmas has come early to the town of Paterson, New Jersey, in the form of a snowstorm that dumps two feet of snow on the ground. Lawyer Andy Carpenter likes snow – white Christmas and all that – but it can cause problems for the walks he takes his dogs on every day.

When Andy’s golden retriever, Tara, goes to play in the snow and instead discovers a body, Andy ends up on the phone with the local newspaper editor. The murder victim is Mayor Alex Oliva, who had an infamous relationship with the newspaper. Last year a young reporter published an expose, and Oliva had him fired for libel. Now, the young reporter – and prime suspect – is in need of a lawyer.

Andy agrees to take the case, though it’s not looking good this holiday season. The evidence is piling up faster than the snow in Best in Snow, the next Christmas mystery in the best-selling Andy Carpenter series from David Rosenfelt.

Each Story Keeps Getting Better and Better

One of my favorite series because the stories well written, Grover Gardner does and wonder job narrating the story and another plus the main character loves does and helps the people who really need his help. I love each step of the story how Andy starts helping a journalist for killing the mayor and his wife but Andy is good at uncovering the truth with criminals involved and has humor at times.

perfect voice to bring a book alive.

I love how Grover Gardener reads and I'm so sad that there will be no more books read my him. Unless they had one more hiding away before he died earlier this year. Grover's voice is the Andy Carpenter series.

Always a dog lover.

Never a bad book from this series, this one wasn’t quite as funny as some of the others, still had it charm though. Story is similar to others of the series, but I love the gang and always look forward to what craziness is going to happen. Edna and Vince have big changes in their lives in this book, equally different but a bit shocking on their own. Narrator rocks as usual as Andy Carpenter.

Never disappoints

David, Grover and Andy NEVER let me down. His books are short enough to finish on a weekend. They’re fun, funny, always represent the underdog, have lovable and quirky characters, and of course the many dog characters and shelter pups! Do yourself a favor and invest in the entire series. WELL WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!! Can’t wait for the next one. The K-team is pretty good too, with the same characters. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did/do!!!
