Deck the Hounds

An Andy Carpenter Mystery, Book 18

De: David Rosenfelt

Narrado por: Grover Gardner

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.

Andy Gardner does it again!

Another case of wisecracking Andy having to prove who didn’t dunnit. As usual, Andy has an innocent client to defend and dogs to rescue.

As long as this series is, Rosenfelt never disappoints. This latest entry is no exception.

Just keeps getting better!

What I appreciate about Rosenfelt is his respect for the readers of his series. He carries on his cast of characters and does not feel the need to rehash at length who they are. Once again, a well done story. I listened non-stop and now have to deal with the grief it is over.

Deck The Hounds

I love this book! It was really good. I had low expectations for this book. (I've never heard of the series or the author) I wanted to try it because I love mystery books and Christmas. So I thought I'd give this a try. I'm excited to try the rest of the book series. This book reminds me of the Guido Brunetti mystery series by Donna Leon. I feel like Deck The Hounds has similar writing. So if you liked the Guido Brunetti series and Christmas I think you'd like this book a lot.

Holiday entertainment

This has been my favorite Andy Carpenter book so far. Interesting plot and characters that I cared about. Of course, Lori’s over the top Christmas spirit and a litter of puppies made it fun too.

Humorous

Love the dogs and the laughs. I am a big fan of the Andy Carpenter crew. Do good avoid evil message is good even for the lazy

Oh. I’m at the end

It’s sad that the story ended. I love his books. I even relisten so it will take longer to get to the end. I find myself chuckling while I’m listening. The characters and mystery keep you connected to the story.

another great Andy Carpenter Book

I really like this series. wish it had been longer. I like the dogs and I like this one about a veteran with troubles.
Andy and the gang help.

Another winner!!!

David and Grover are truly a winning combination.
Keep on writing and narrating.

More, please!!!!!!!!

A very truly real Christmas story full of hope

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

Amazing!!!!

I loved this book the reader is amazing and i enjoyed every moment of it. I love David’s books
