Dog Day Afternoon: An Andy Carpenter Mystery

By David Rosenfelt

Book Overview

Paterson, New Jersey's favorite reluctant lawyer Andy Carpenter returns in Dog Day Afternoon, the next mystery in this fan favorite series from National Bestselling Author David Rosenfelt.

Retired lawyer Andy Carpenter has run the Tara Foundation--the dog rescue organization named after his beloved golden retriever--for years. It's always been his calling, even as Andy's pulled into representing clients in court. His investigator, Marcus Clark, has been at Andy's side for a long time. Even though they've known each other for years, Marcus keeps his personal life a mystery.

So it's a shock when Marcus arrives at the Tara Foundation with two strangers in tow. Turns out Marcus takes disadvantaged young men under his wing, gets them jobs, a place to live, and a chance at a different life. And they want a dog. Andy's specialty. One of the young men, Nick Williams, instantly falls in love with one of the dogs, Daisy.

When there's a mass shooting at Nick's work, leaving six dead, all signs point to Nick. Marcus, who's never asked Andy for anything, asks Andy for help. Despite Nick's troubled background, Andy trusts his friend and takes the case.

Mystery

This is a Legal Mystery, and this is the 28th book in the Andy Carpenter series. I have read the other books in this series before picking up this book. I love this series. I love all the characters in this series, but Marcus has become one of my favorites. This book has a lot of Marcus, and I love that we get to see more of Marcus. I really love the mystery in this book, and there was so much that unfolded to figure out this mystery. I really loved reading this book. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
