Another very good read by David Rosenfelt. You just have to love Andy Carpenter. I just wish Rosenfelt would write more. It helps to read the books in order.

This book was a lot of fun! I really enjoy this series! And I am very satisfied with the ending. The mystery was great (as usual) and the characters were as fun to read about as ever. The only disappointing thing, is that I will have to wait a whole year before the next installment of Andy Carpenter's adventures!

This is the latest in the Andy Carpenter series (#7). It is a legal thriller that is spiced with humor all the way through.

This is the third book that I have read by David Rosenfelt. I continue to thoroughly enjoy his style of writing, sense of humor, love for animals incorporated into his storyline, and his ability to sustain a suspenseful plot/storyline. I look forward to reading more!

If you haven't read this series yet then start at the beginning so you will know how Andy got his millions, then from there it's how he got this cast of characters together and in Laurie's instance, lover. Centering around a dog of some kind Andy is a lawyer that ends up with the most bazaar cases even though he doesn't need the work usually a Judge assigns his cases. So get on the band wagon and read this series!

Some of my favorite secondary characters are showcased in NEW TRICKS and the book is more fun for their inclusion. Judge Hatchet loves to cut Andy down to size and Marcus keeps up his wild banter with Andy throughout the case. Unfortunately, Marcus gets a bit heavy-handed with a murder suspect and the next time we hear of the said suspect, he's been pulled out of a body of water. It's just another day in Paradise (Andy-style).

This case is actually about a young man who has been accused of killing his father and stepmother. His father was worth about 1/2 billion dollars; he was the founder of a progressive pharmaceutical company. The FBI is involved, but they aren't talking.

There's a second case and Andy is directly involved in this one too. Hatchet makes Andy take the dead man's show dog, pending a hearing on who should be given the dog permanently -- the son (currently accused of his father's murder) or a friend/competitor, who raises Andy's hackles.

The case starts out looking like there can be no one else guilty but the son. Slowly, Andy-and-company chip away at the darkness until a new suspect becomes clear. Now, if Andy can make the muddy water clear for the jury.
