What a fun and easy read by Naldo (Redwood City, CA United States)  5 Stars
November 07, 2009
David Rosenfelt just has a way to combine dry humor with a classic mystery. Being a pet lover helps as he (in real life) is a dog lover and is actively involved in efforts to help shelter and find homes for abandoned/abused dogs. I have since read several of his other writings and thoroughly enjoyed them all.

The Series Continues... by Yolanda S. Bean (Chicago, IL) 5 Stars
July 13, 2009
The ending to this one sure was a surprise! I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book, with football playing a large role in it. But the characters were as fun as always and the plot was more of a shock than usual. While I am looking forward to the next two books, the formula of the frame-up defense is wearing a little bit thin... I guess these books aren't really meant to be read back-to-back like this.

Series slows down by C. Schmidlin (Monterey, CA)  3 Stars
February 09, 2008
With the 4th book in the series Andy Carpenter's witty observations, love of his dog, relationship with Laurie, as well as his springing rabbits from hats to get his clients off all don't seem as fresh and compelling as they were in the firsr couple of books. The continuing cast of characters are comforting in their familiarity, but Andy and company seem to lack some kind of edge compared to other series. Maybe Laurie returning to her childhood home and Andy seeing other women will add some interesting aspects to the next few adventures. All in all, it is a series worth reading - the last two books just have not been as gripping as the first two novels.

love this series by Barb (CA) 5 Stars
January 09, 2008
If you like Janet Evanovich, give Andy Carpenter a try. I would start with the first book in the series, but you don't have to. This is a quick read.

A+ by sgun73 (Carmel, IN) 5 Stars
October 18, 2007
Another fun and fast-paced courtroom mystery from one of my favorite new authors. This one and First Degree are the best of the bunch. Some of the scenes in Sudden Death jumped out at me and caught me of guard. I love it when that happens in books. Doesn't happen enough.
