About This Book
A Bernese Mountain Dog puppy arrives in Andy Carpenter's possession when its owner is murdered, and multiple parties with varying degrees of legality are willing to use violence to retrieve it. The seventh Andy Carpenter novel is structured around what the dog knows — or rather, what the dog represents about the crime that preceded its change of ownership — as Andy follows the connections from the puppy's murdered owner into the territory of ongoing conspiracy and genuine danger.
Grover Gardner's narration of the Andy Carpenter series has become one of the warmest long-form comedy-mystery audio experiences in the genre. His handling of Andy's various attempts to avoid getting involved while getting thoroughly involved gives the reluctant-hero formula its proper shape. At just over seven hours, New Tricks is a solid mid-series entry that showcases everything the Carpenter novels do well.
