For the K Team, playing "good dog," "bad cop" is all fun and games...until there's a body on the scene, in the next K Team Novel by bestselling author David Rosenfelt.

The K Team enjoys investigating cold cases for the Paterson Police Department. Corey Douglas, his K-9 partner Simon Garfunkel, Laurie Collins, and Marcus Clark even get to choose which cases they’d like to pursue. When Corey sees the latest list of possibilities, there’s no question which one to look into next.

Corey’s former mentor, Jimmy Dietrich, had his whole identity wrapped up in being a cop. When Jimmy retired three years ago, his marriage quickly deteriorated and he tried–and failed—to get back on the force. Jimmy was left to try to adjust to life as a civilian.

Not long after, two bodies were pulled from the Passaic River. A local woman, Susan Avery, and Jimmy Dietrich. With no true evidence available, the deaths went unsolved and the case declared cold. This didn’t stop the whispers: an affair gone wrong... a murder-suicide committed by Jimmy.

Corey never believed it. With this case, the K Team has the opportunity to find the real murderer, and clear Jimmy’s name. Bestselling author David Rosenfelt returns in Good Dog, Bad Cop, where there’s little to go on, but that won’t stop Paterson, New Jersey’s favorite private investigators from sniffing out the truth.

Critic reviews

“Appealing. . . The complicated, fair play mystery presents just the right amount of difficulty for the keen-eyed reader to solve.”–Publishers Weekly

All the good dogs

This book gives you more time in the Tara/Simon universe. What could be better?
This book also develops side characters, like Pete Stanton. Another credit well spent

Intriguing

Follow the cases closely, don’t forget a single clue! You will need the clues through the twists and turns to a climatic finish that you could not predict! Awesome book! Keep up the good work Simon!

Feed the dog adequately please!

Please stop feeding Simon Garfunkel vegetables!! A k9 cop dog should be eating raw everything!!
Other than that loved it!!

Not my favorite Rosenfelt book

I found this book to be confusing. I’ve enjoyed the Andy Carpenter books but this one was disappointing. I do like the main characters.

Overall…great story and performance.

Another outstanding read or listen from this author. I can’t wait for the next book he publishes!

good story

Another really good book in the spinoff series written by David Rosenfeldt. It’s really a nice story.

Love Rosenfelt

But not this book. It was boring. I didn’t even know what was happening until towards the very end. People kept coming and going.

Too many characters /Too much Dani -Corey

Took me awhile to get really interested as people kept switching. Love David Rosenfelt but much better when focus is not always on Corey. Corey's character is the weakest link.

Too much of one character

Few words from any other characters but the ex-cop. He rarely even had his dog with him. One scene in particular he was an extra ass. Not a likable person at all. Well, he does like dogs, so that’s good.

Too many characters

Maybe I’m just getting old but I found this plot a bit unmanageable with its complexity and number of characters. It was fun and interesting even though I had a hard time keeping track of who was who.
