About this deal

This is an absorbing detective story with a challenging client, and complicated adversaries, however, when the chips are down, Carpenter rises to the occasion with excellent intuition, focused investigative skills, and brilliant (in his opinion) legal tactics to save the day for all. These are books you love for the characters. And I love that Laurie is able to twirl Andy around her little finger and he knows it. Dachshund Through the Snow" is a well-done legal mystery with plenty of twists and suspense. A very nice aftermath hints at the future of the series.

This was my second Andy Carpenter series book.... and I’ve got to say I’m growing quite fond of this character! Rosenfelt’s characters are affable, relaxed, likeable, and yet focused and diligent when necessary. The first person narrative by Carpenter is a little self-deprecating, a little sarcastic, very humorous, and always focused on his dogs, other peoples’ dogs, and, actually, just the wellbeing of dogs in general. My childhood was relentlessly normal. The middle of three brothers, loving parents, a middle-class home in Paterson, New Jersey. We played sports, studied sporadically. laughed around the dinner table, and generally had a good time. By comparison, "Ozzie and Harriet's" clan seemed bizarre. Andy Carpenter is a defence lawyer. He prefers to spend time with his dog rescue foundation and with family and his 2 pet dogs Being independently wealthy, he only accepts legal cases if there is somehow a dog involved. The author. David Rosenfelt, the author of the series, also runs a dog rescue service, has over two dozen pet dogs, and has rescued 4,000 animals. I was a tad disappointed in the previous release as the dogs only had a minor supporting role. Mr. Rosenfelt must have heard me🤭 because they were front and center in this release!

When Do You Start Feeling Festive?

I think my favorite character has to be Andy's wife. She is intelligent, sassy and a bit extra. Bigger than life. She put a lot of fun into the plot. I love the front cover art. The cute dachshund on the front is what first made me want to read this book! :) I did manage to find the time to marry and have two children, both of whom are doing very well, and fortunately neither have inherited my eccentricities.

A number of years ago, I left the movie marketing business, to the sustained applause of hundreds of disgruntled producers and directors. I decided to try my hand at writing. I wrote and sold a bunch of feature films, none of which ever came close to being actually filmed, and then a bunch of TV movies, some of which actually made it to the small screen. It's safe to say that their impact on the American cultural scene has been minimal. I wish to thank NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this delightful book in the Andy Carpenter series in return for an honest review. They are told with great humour and contain serious criminal cases and courtroom drama. Rosenfelt's courtroom scenes are a pleasure to read. They are well presented and honest, even when the client is decidedly unusual. He creates an excellent analogy likening a court case to a mountain climb such as Mt. Everest, and through it introduces the rest of Andy's quirky and memorable team. Andy & Laurie have a Christmas tradition recently started of wishes from the needy on their tree rather than the usual decorations. One request was from Danny requesting a coat for Mom, a sweater for his dachshund and for his Dad to return since he had gone missing. I have gotten to this dubious position with absolutely no planning, and at no stage in my life could I have predicted it. But here I am.IWOOT has you covered if you're looking for early gift ideas for mum or want to wow and win first place in the best Xmas jumper competition. This book is number 20 in the series but will also easily read as a stand-alone. Highly recommend if you’re searching for a fun laugh out loud light read! Thank you to Joseph Brosnan at Minotaur Books and David Rosenfelt for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

When Simon, a K-9 companion needs representation, it’s Andy Carpenter to the rescue! When Simon’s handler decides to retire, he asks Andy to file a suit allowing Simon to retire early due to disability, instead of having Simon transferred to another handler for a year. Simon, you see has arthritis and bad hips - and if he were human, he would be granted early retirement but given the fact that he is a dog, he is not granted such accommodation. Seeing as Andy has a love for dogs, he jumps at the chance. This book which contains legal drama and high stakes criminal investigation is the 20th in the Andy Carpenter series. This is only the 5th I have read, but I intend to read more. Narrated by Andy, I always enjoy his witty, sardonic sense of humour and his sarcastic thoughts and conversations. I am so fond of this series. It's uplifting, fun, engaging, and full of animals and characters who are well written and believable. I really like it that Andy is trying to do his (sometimes imperfect) best in a world that can be cold and unfeeling. This book left me with a warm fuzzy feeling and was a perfect cold weather read with the holiday theme and justice prevailing and all that. The dialogue is so well written, the courtroom exchanges come alive. Along with the on-going outside investigation, in which there is a very nice escalation of suspense, plot twist, and an excellent red herring, one feels the anticipation of awaiting the jury's decision.Instead of dragging out that dusty old tops from a million years ago, up your game with a variety of clothing to fit your style, whether you're looking for a trendy sweater that isn't too embarrassing or you and the girls are going all out with funny women's Christmas jumpers to make some memories the next time you get out. When Do You Start Feeling Festive? I love a character with attitude! And boy does Andy have that in spades! He is one of the funniest, and snarkiest (is that even a word?)🤔 characters’ I’ve come across. Early on I thought he was over the top. But as the story played out I grew to love him (who would have thought?)🤷🏻♀️ What makes the Andy Carpenter series so great (besides Andy’s sarcastic dry humor - which I love!) is that solving the crimes is always a team effort and the way the crimes are solved is complete genius and takes McGyver-esque moments that just made me smile. This is only my second novel by David Rosenfelt and I enjoyed it even more than the last and can’t wait to read more books in this series! Happiness began with the news of a new andy Carpenter being released. A smile started when I received this new release in my hands. And then I began the latest Andy Carpenter book (on CD).

He is also involved in another trial. A policeman is retiring, but the Department insists his arthritic police dog must work another year regardless of the dog's physical condition. Andy sues the Police Department for species discrimination. Thanks t the folks at NetGalley who provided me with an advance copy of this book in return for a truthful review. A tag on a Christmas charity wish tree leads attorney Andy Carpenter and his wife Laurie to a young boy wanting his father Noah Traynor to be brought home. The murder, for which Noah has been arrested, was a cold case until his DNA is identified on the victim's body. In the meantime, K-9 officer Sergeant Corey Douglas is about to retire, but his dog, Simon, still has time left to work. Corey wants Andy to help him get Simon released to retire with him. Andy agrees to represent Simon on the basis of species discrimination. The story includes alternative POVs but only when needed to move the plot forward by characters other than the protagonist. Rosenfelt creates a plot which seems simple but grows into something more complicated and more dangerous as it progresses. Be aware; despite the cute dog on the cover, this is not a cozy. Rosenfelt does like his body count, but the scenes aren't particularly gory. He is also very good at the unexpected, and very effective, plot twist, and a fun mention which lightens the situation.

Prepare To Be the Best Dressed at Any Xmas Party

As the shops start playing jolly music and festive colours start to appear, make sure you're ready to spread cheer with these women's Christmas jumpers. I can't believe that this is the 20th installment to the Andy Carpenter series! This is definitely a great addition to the series - as always Andy's humorous narration combines nicely with a twisting plot that holds some genuine surprises. Plus, this time there are two new dogs - Andy represents one dog in court, and then later represents the owner of the titular dachshund in a murder conviction. Whatever day you choose to hang mistletoe, now is the time to find your women's Christmas jumpers or sweaters to ensure you are the best dressed at any Xmas party or stand out when the camera flashes on December 25th. How refreshing when characters defy stereotype. Laurie, Andy's wife, is the type of person one aspires to be; kind, generous, compassionate toward people. She is an ex-cop, and very capable of taking care of herself and Andy. Andy, on the other hand, is a lawyer who keeps trying to retire from the law and is passionate about dogs. As a self-described weakling, he depends upon Laurie and the indomitable Marcus to protect him. There are interludes of Andy at home with his family and friends, yet they avoid the over-sentimentality such interaction can bring about.
