About This Audiobook

Andy Carpenter agreed to a simple favor — if Rachel Morehouse dies, he'll take care of her elderly Chow Chow — and quickly forgot about it. When Rachel's estate summons him to a will reading, and her stepson gets arrested for her murder, Andy finds himself investigating the life of a woman he barely knew, discovering that she was considerably more extraordinary than her modest request suggested. The twenty-fifth Andy Carpenter mystery delivers everything the series promises: sharp wit, canine warmth, and genuine plotting.

Grover Gardner's narration of the Andy Carpenter series has become a genre institution. His dry, slightly weary delivery matches Andy's reluctant heroism perfectly, and his affection for the material shows in the warmth he brings to the dog-related passages without ever making them sentimental. At just over six hours, Holy Chow is a compact and satisfying entry — the kind of audiobook that makes a long commute feel too short.
