Officer Luz is lucky she still has a job after tasering a male colleague where it counts the most. Sure, he had it coming - which is why the police chief is giving Megan a second chance. The catch? Her new partner can't carry a gun, can't drive a cruiser, and can't recite the Miranda Rights. Because her new partner is a big furry police dog. So that's what the chief meant when he called Megan's partner a real bitch...With Brigit out on the beat, Megan is writing up enough tickets to wallpaper the whole station.

Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He's just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he's arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn't kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn't stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Catch a tiger by its toe. It's seared into Atlee Pine's memory: the kidnapper's chilling rhyme as he chose between six-year-old Atlee and her twin sister, Mercy. Mercy was taken. Atlee was spared. She never saw Mercy again. Three decades after that terrifying night, Atlee Pine works for the FBI. She's the lone agent assigned to the Shattered Rock, Arizona resident agency, which is responsible for protecting the Grand Canyon. So when one of the Grand Canyon's mules is found stabbed to death at the bottom of the canyon - and its rider missing - Pine is called in to investigate.

When best-selling mystery writer David Rosenfelt and his family moved from Southern California to Maine, he thought he had prepared for everything. They had mapped the route, brought three GPSs for backup, as well as refrigerators full of food, and stoves and microwaves on which to cook them. But traveling with 25 dogs turned out to be a bigger ordeal than he anticipated, despite RVs, the extra kibble, volunteers (including a few readers), and camping equipment.

Publisher's Summary
This Christmas mystery, featuring criminal defense lawyer Andy Carpenter and his faithful golden retriever, Tara, showcases Rosenfelt’s trademark humor and larger-than-life characters.
Reluctant lawyer Andy Carpenter doesn’t usually stop to help others, but seeing a dog next to a homeless man inspires him to give the pair some money to help. It’s just Andy’s luck that things don’t end there. Soon after Andy’s encounter with them, man and dog are attacked in the middle of the night on the street. The dog defends its new owner, and the erstwhile attacker is bitten but escapes. But the dog is quarantined, and the man, Don Carrigan, is heartbroken.
Andy’s wife, Laurie, can’t resist helping the duo after learning Andy has met them before...it’s the Christmas season, after all. In a matter of days, Don and his dog, Zoey, are living above Andy’s garage and become two new additions to the family. It’s not until Andy accidentally gives away his guest’s name during an interview that things go awry; turns out Don is wanted for a murder that happened two years ago. Don not only claims he’s innocent, but that he had no idea he was wanted for a crime he has no knowledge of in the first place. It’s up to Andy to exonerate his new friend, if he doesn’t get pulled into the quagmire first.
David Rosenfelt’s signature wit, charm, and cleverness are back again in this most exciting installment yet.

Fun But predictable
Andy Carpenter...Rich, lazy and cowardly lawyer who dashes in to save the day. I like him a lot, but the books are very predictable... but the characters are great. I am a dog lover, but Rosenfelt goes too far with it. If you love dogs, Andy Carpenter is your friend. If you don't like them, then you're a bum. Ridiculous!
But, they are entertaining and light-hearted stories and I will continue to read them

I am a true fan of this series - I own them all and have listened to all of them more than once, especially when reality becomes a little too real and I need an escape.

Andy Rides Again!
I’m a huge fan of Andy Carpenter, and if David Rosenfelt keeps writing his story I will be reading them. I enjoyed this book immensely and look forward to more in the future. I will be the first to admit the mystery is not the most intriguing story line but there is something about David Rosenfelt’s books that give you a feel good feeling. I love all the characters and feel like I got to see the gang again while listening. Grover Gardner is an excellent narrator, and to me he is Andy Carpenter.

Best yet
I love, love, love the series and this is the best book yet. If you’re looking for something smart and funny this is it. For those of you that know the series, this book moves all the main characters forward. The legal and detective stories are intriguing. The only negative is that sometimes the narrator doesn’t distinguish well between the characters.

Every one of the Andy Carpenter books narrated by Grover Gardner are brilliant. I always come away feeling happy. Everyone is like a known family to me. I just want to say too that with so much negativity right now around us, Deck the Hounds gave me 8 hours of of pure joy. I really can’t wait for the next chapter. Thank you
