About this audiobook
When a friend, a newspaper owner, calls in a favor and asks him to protect his star reporter, Andy is less than thrilled. His new client is Daniel Cummings, a journalist who is being used as a mouthpiece by a brutal serial killer. Things only get worse when Daniel is discovered near the body of the murderer's latest victim. And after Andy himself starts collecting anonymous death threats, he hears the news every defense lawyer dreads...and moves to within a dangerous keystroke of becoming tomorrow's obituary.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is kind of a lightweight mystery. Not a thriller, not a cozy. Somewhere in the middle and a good read. Andy Carpenter is a lawyer who got very rich lawyering. He uses his money to start things like animal shelters. But he got his money because he's good at what he does so when his buddy, Vince, the newspaper publisher asks him to represent his reporter who's accused of the very serial murders he's been covering, Andy can't say no. It's good. Read it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really really enjoy this series the characters are witty and fun and that make the story interesting and exciting and the narrator makes the story comes alive I am happy with this author and series
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is my 3rd David Rosenfeld book, and I have found a new favorite author. His books are wonderful so far, and I don't see that changing. I think the reason I like them the most is because he makes Andy a truly believable guy, and he's got such a sarcastic sense of humor it makes the whole read fun.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5When old friend and newspaper editor Vince Sanders calls Andy to help him protect one of his reporters who has been the only contact with a serial killer, Andy is reluctant but friendship wins out. Daniel Cumming is being used as a mouthpiece for a man who is killing random women and cutting off their hands. But when Daniel is found on the scene of the death of the latest victim who happens to be in the run for governor of New Jersey, he ends up arrested for the murders. Andy isn't necessarily convinced of his new client's innocence and his conviction is shaken even more when he learns that Daniel's wife was also murdered leaving him a very rich man. When he learns that Daniel is Vince's son - the result of a long-ago one-night stand, Andy feels that he has no choice but to help him even though the evidence against him seems overwhelming.But as Andy, Laurie and Marcus look into the cases, they begin to believe that Daniel is the victim of a very nicely done frame. A former client of Andy's now in prison overhears something that sheds light on Andy's case but is killed before he can share what he knows. Marcus tracks down another former prisoner who points the finger at a serial killer who is known to frame someone innocent for crimes he commits. But proving anything isn't easy even when Andy calls on a local crime boss for help.This was a twisty mystery filled with Andy's usual snark. It is the episode where Andy's partner is the dog rescue Willy meets and marries his love. And where Andy and Laurie are living together with Andy hoping for marriage and Laurie not seeming interested in it. I really enjoy Andy's interactions with his dog Tara.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A mad romp of a fast and fun read.
Andy Carpenter, high profile attourney with a long string of acquittals to his credit and inherited millions in his bank account takes on a case for an old friend. A case that he wishes he hadn't taken. The client is a newspaper writer who is currently the mouthpiece for a serial killer. When the client is found near the latest victim and is charged with the crime it looks like Andy's string of acquittals has reached its end.
With the help of a cast of characters and his dog, Andy cracks wise while trying to put together what few clues he can find to discover if his client is guilty or innocent. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Entertaining light read.
Very worried about the main character's health in ten years' time though. His diet is pretty shocking and spending so much time in front of the TV during the football season is definitely a major concern. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Another fun, short mystery that was well read & plotted. These are 'chip' books because I can't listen to just one. They're all pretty much the same, differing only in the details of the dilemma, but that doesn't mean they're not fun.
I liked it enough that I went looking for more books by this author & found out that the Tara Foundation, a dog rescue started in the last book, actually is a going concern run by the author. I have a book about it reserved & hope to listen to it soon. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Third in the Andy Carpenter series. Just okay not great.
