Edgar-nominated author David Rosenfelt returns with his hero, Andy Carpenter, who must defend a football player accused of murder. The Giants' running back Kenny Schilling stands accused of killing Troy Preston, a wide receiver for the Jets. As Andy investigates, he finds that Troy is not the only football player who was killed after contact with Kenny...and his snooping starts to set off alarms with a drug king.©2005 David Rosenfelt (P)2005 Listen & Live Audio Suspense Thriller & Suspense Sports Mystery Fiction Witty

Even though the Andy Carpenter series runs a common theme, I have not gotten bored with them. I try to alternate reading fiction and non-fiction, classic and contemporary. When my brain is filled with the stresses of real life, this is a good choice, in between the heavies of other literary choices. You will not be dissapointed. He is humorous and not predictable. And the narration is great!

If you could sum up Sudden Death in three words, what would they be?

I will now listen to every book David has ever written. His sense of humor has me laughing out loud and has me repeating his quips to friends and others. The plots and twists are often predictable but the characters interactions make listening an absolute delight.
I have recommend his books to several friends and they all agree, he's one of the best!

The writing is perfect for audio: plenty of dialogue tags and clues about time, place, and POV. The story is well done, no plot holes, but the bad guy was apparent due to a process of elimination. Still, we’ll worth the time invested.

Solid mystery, loads of fun

This is really terrific in every aspect, except that I missed whatever was left out of the abridged version. I was determined to mark my rating down because only the abridged version was available, but I can't. It's too good.

So if you can. get the book and read it. If like me, you really need the audio version, get this in spite of the abridgment.

Wish this was unabridged

I love David Rosenfelt’s books, they are laugh out loud funny. While David Rosenfelt has a bit of a formula for the story lines he creates, they are always good. This is my second time around listening to the series. I love it just as much as the first time around. But not only do I love the main character of his books, the side characters are ones. I love and look forward to finding out what they are up to. Love Grover Gardner he does Andy so well.

Andy’s wants to be a Football player?

this is David's finest so far. I enjoyed the previous Mysteries immensely but this one takes the cake. and a layer cake it is, filled with Chris and turns and humor. he is my finest detective writer

SUBLIME

Let’s start by letting you know I don’t like court procedural mysteries. UNTIL NOW! Rosenfelt writes the perfect combination of a gosh-dang good mystery, humor, not one word too many court procedural. Great cast of characters. And a golden retriever!! This is my sixth book in the series (I read one out of order) and I am looking forward to listening to all of them!

Funny AND fantastic mystery!
