About This Audiobook

Rescued, the seventeenth Andy Carpenter mystery, begins with a truckload of rescue dogs, a murdered driver, and a suspect who happens to be Laurie Collins's tall, handsome ex-fiance. Andy takes the case despite every personal instinct to the contrary, and his investigation into the murder uncovers connections far beyond the immediate crime. Rosenfelt keeps Andy's world — the Tara Foundation, the dogs, the sardonic self-awareness — at the center of what is nominally a legal thriller, and the combination remains irresistible.

Grover Gardner's narration is perfectly matched to Andy Carpenter's voice — wry, self-deprecating, unflappable in the face of danger and deeply uncomfortable with sentiment. Gardner has narrated the series throughout, and his ownership of the character gives the audiobook the quality of a trusted friend telling a story. At under seven hours the pacing is brisk, and the comic undercurrent never overwhelms the genuine plotting.
