About This Audiobook
Andy Carpenter takes on what seems like a harmless zoning case on behalf of a friend who rescues dogs, only to have the neighbor who filed the complaint turn up dead hours after Andy's friend threatened him in public. The case that follows involves corporate fraud, dangerous criminals, and the kind of moral calculus that Andy, despite his best instincts, is unable to avoid. David Rosenfelt's fifteenth Andy Carpenter novel delivers the series' characteristic blend of legal comedy, dog-rescue warmth, and surprisingly dark criminal plotting.
Grover Gardner's narration captures Andy's dry New Jersey wit without turning him into a caricature, giving the genuinely funny moments their space while keeping the stakes of the investigation credible. His management of the holiday atmosphere and the thriller mechanics maintains the tonal balance Rosenfelt's series always requires. At just over six hours, The Twelve Dogs of Christmas is a well-constructed seasonal mystery.
