"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 on Bark of Night

The next installment in David Rosenfelt’s bestselling Andy Carpenter series brings a lone pup to his doorstep, but when it comes to dogs, The More the Terrier.

Reluctant lawyer Andy Carpenter is relieved to be headed back to Paterson, New Jersey, after a week-long family vacation in the Adirondacks. He's ready to put the holly jolly season way behind him and settle in at home with his three dogs. But when they finally arrive, there is an extra dog eagerly awaiting them, as well as one anxious dog sitter.

When the dog showed up on the doorstep a few days ago, the sitter knew Andy would know what to do. Indeed, Andy recognizes Murphy, who the Carpenters fostered before the dog went home with BJ Bremer and his mother. BJ wanted to learn all he could about caring for Murphy, which made Andy like him immediately.

When Andy goes to take Murphy back to the Bremers, though, instead of the happy reunion he expects, he finds BJ's mother in tears. It turns out Murphy ran off…after BJ was arrested for murder. Andy had hoped for a quiet Christmas vacation, but he likes Murphy’s family and his golden retriever, Tara, likes Murphy, so he can't resist getting involved. The case isn’t as simple as Andy thought it would be, though, with BJ suspected of murdering one of his professors. With nothing to go on but Andy's own conviction in BJ's dog-loving character, proving his innocence would be a Christmas miracle.

With equal doses of doggy humor and courtroom drama, as well as Andy Carpenter's traditional humbug Christmas spirit, David Rosenfelt delivers another winner.

More of the same...to Love

I know the books are a little short compared to many of the offerings from Audible, but sometimes predicable is just what the doctor ordered. I know what I'm going to get every time I get an Andy Carpenter book and I can't help it. They make me smile! This book was as enjoyable as the best of Andy Carpenter and his family and friends.

Book 30 in the series and still going strong.

Another good Andy Carpenter book. This one kept me guessing until that "ah-hah" moment.
I will say tho, that the repetition of some of the events in the story line seemed to me that the author was just trying to add more words/length to the book.
As always, great narration.

Not much dog activity

Love that most familiar characters were present. Now that Ricky is a teenager it will be interesting to see what mischief he gets into.

The plot in general

Love the adventures of Andy Carpenter and his team! Always at least 1 twist and this story had several! Also keeps my interest so it’s hard to put down!

Love, love, love the humor

The story, narrator, and the twists & turns in the plot!!!! Always a joy to read Rosenfelt

Great thanks

Thanks David Rosenfeldt and Grover Gardner! The best books on Audible. I have all of them

Another fun read

I always enjoy the mix of suspense and humor. I’ve read or listened to everything in the series.

Retirement is a Distant Dream.

Love coming back to Andy Carpenter’s world, and while the story is good, this book wasn’t quite as funny as some in the past. The court drama was equally as good as previous books. I’m wondering if it’s time for Andy to actually retire. LOL But of course I will probably keep buying this series as long as David Rosenfelt keeps writing them. Narration is spot on.

perfect series

As all of the Andy Carpenter books they're so good... My only complaint is I finish them way too fast 😜📚. If you're looking for dry humor and a good mystery / some lite murder, this would definitely be in your wheelhouse, especially if you like dogs.

All Andy Carpenter books are great!

I always like Rosenfelt's humor. It's sharp and witty. Great story too. And you can't beat Grover Gardner.
