Holy Chow

An Andy Carpenter Mystery

By: David Rosenfelt

Narrated by: Grover Gardner

"Gardner's familiarity with Andy and the team is clear as he characterizes the larger-than-life characters with aplomb. His spot-on timing allows Andy's wisecracks to shine, while his subtle changes in inflection help signal passages not told from Andy's point of view. The result is a thoroughly enjoyable listen."- AudioFile Magazine

This program is read by longtime series and award-winning narrator, Grover Gardner.

In Holy Chow, the next mystery from bestselling author David Rosenfelt, the beloved characters—both human and canine—of this fan favorite series are back on the case with the author’s trademark wit and humor.

Retired lawyer Andy Carpenter’s calling has always been running the Tara Foundation. The dog rescue organization places hundreds of dogs in new homes every year. It’s added up to so many dogs and new owners that Andy can’t even do the math. But there’s one dog—and one owner—Andy will always remember.

About a year ago, Rachel Morehouse came to the foundation looking for a companion. In her sixties and recently widowed, Rachel wanted a senior dog that also needed someone. Andy took a liking to her, Rachel took a liking to Lion, an older Chow Chow, and the rest is history.

That is, until Rachel calls Andy begging for a favor: If Rachel dies, will Andy take care of Lion if her stepson cannot? Andy agrees, no questions asked, and promptly forgets about it... until he receives a call from Rachel’s estate to attend her will reading. Which is where he meets Rachel’s stepson, Tony, who is promptly arrested for his stepmother’s murder. And he wants Andy to prove his innocence.

Andy has continued to learn more about the woman he so greatly admired and the businesses she ran, and holy chow, was this woman impressive. The person who killed her deserves to be held accountable, and if Tony is to be believed, they’re still out there. And that possibility is too much for Andy to remain on the sidelines.

What can I say??

Holy Chow didn't disappoint. I have read all of the Andy Carpenter series and Dogtripping. I would like to thanks both Mr. Rosenfelt and Mr. Gardner for the best books ever, Mr. Rosenfelt for his brillant writing and Mr. Gardner for his awesome narration . I will say Dogtripping has to be one of my favorites, even if Mr. Grardner did not narrate it. Andy Carpenter and Grover Gardner go together. I can just picture going across country with 25 dogs in a motorhome. I really look forward and keep hoping for the next in the series. In a lot of series the books are very similar only different characters, but Mr. Rosenfelt makes them fun and very interesting, and Marcus is a treasure. Please keep them coming, Mr Rosenfelt. make an elderly lady happy.
I think all drivers that compute when I do should send Mr. Rosenfelt and Mr. Gardner thank you notes as I compute for over an hour and I'm a much happier person when I listen to Andy Carpenter.

Phenomenal narration

narrator is able because of man, as a woman, even as a dog. his voice fluctuates and changes with remarkable skill. in fact, he is Lending the book an extraordinary liveliness. I am less impressed however with the formula which keeps repeating itself. Rosenfeld it's time to change the formula. in this case for example Andy should have lost.

Another great story!

Superb writing, unexpected plot twists, and excellent delivery make this book a must read. You won’t want to put it down.

Love the Andy Carpenter series!

I get the audio books and the narrator is the best!! I am hooked on this series, the books are suspenseful yet with great humor and being in rescue the back story is close to my heart. Can’t wait for the next book!

As always very entertaining

I love the way dogs are integrated into these books & the deprecating wit is always entertaining. This book had a little more complex story line. No sloughing by by David Rosenfelt. Grover Gardner is the perfect narrator.
Whenever I need a light but interesting book I know I can count on one from this series.

Classic Andy Carpenter!!

Another fun read from David Rosenfelt and wonderful performance by Grover Gardener. They just always end too soon!!

Always a good day when a new Andy Carpenter book a

Wonderful as always. Especially enjoyed learning more about Marcus Clark in this book. Grover Gardner is my favorite narrator.

Never a dull moment!

I’ve now read this entire series and it doesn’t let me down. Doesn’t disappoint. Grover Gardner is a wonderful reader! He captures the spirit and character of the people in the stories. The characters are alive and well and have great senses of humor, brought forth by David Rosenfelt. These are great stories! Love the dogs and the titles!! No

Another Great Andy Carpenter book

When I need a feel good book to listen to I turn to Andy Carpenter. Hope more will come in the future

The Stories Are Getting Old

My favorite thing about the AC series is actually the narrator. GG is great.
I think Andy should be retiring for real soon because originality starting to fail in the stories. And, for the love of me bring some more racial diversity!
