About this listen

“A fun, engaging listen and a worthy addition to the series.”—AudioFile

"...a thoroughly entertaining, engaging, and enjoyable listening experience"—AudioFile on Flop Dead Gorgeous

Paterson, New Jersey’s favorite reluctant lawyer Andy Carpenter returns in Dog Day Afternoon, the next mystery in this fan favorite series from National Bestselling Author David Rosenfelt.

Retired lawyer Andy Carpenter has run the Tara Foundation—the dog rescue organization named after his beloved golden retriever—for years. It's always been his calling, even as Andy's pulled into representing clients in court. His investigator, Marcus Clark, has been at Andy's side for a long time. Even though they've known each other for years, Marcus keeps his personal life a mystery.

So it’s a shock when Marcus arrives at the Tara Foundation with two strangers in tow. Turns out Marcus takes disadvantaged young men under his wing, gets them jobs, a place to live, and a chance at a different life. And they want a dog. Andy’s specialty. One of the young men, Nick Williams, instantly falls in love with one of the dogs, Daisy.

When there’s a mass shooting at Nick’s work, leaving six dead, all signs point to Nick. Marcus, who's never asked Andy for anything, asks Andy for help. Despite Nick's troubled background, Andy trusts his friend and takes the case.

So glad I found this series. Between Rosenfelt's skill as a writer and Gardner's skill with voices I have enjoyed all 29 novels over and over. I love the characters, and feel like they are personal friends of mine. I can hardly wait for each new book to come out.
And find myself wishing that they were able to publish more than 2 a year. I count the one in July as my birthday present and the one in October as my Christmas present from Andy and the gang.

One of the best yet

This book is so good. It may be the best one in this series so far, but that’s how I felt about each one. I love Andy and the rest of the characters. I can’t wait for the next one. The narrator is absolutely the best ever. He makes the books come alive. Thank you!

Sooo good

David Rosenfelt never disappoints. Andy Carpenter’s wit and unconventional legal style deliver another entertaining tale expertly performed by Grover Gardener. It’s like reuniting with old friends and never disappoints. As long as he keeps writing them I’ll keep listening.

Like Visiting a Dear Friend

David Rosenfelt strikes gold again! I like how we get to know more of Marcus Clarke. And please don’t ever stop having Grover Gardner narrate the series. His voice brings Andy Carpenter and crew to life!

Another Fantastic Story

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 its 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.

No Retirement for Andy.
