ex-cop, family, cold-case, friendship, law-enforcement, lawyers, disappearance, multiple-murder, murder-investigation, private-investigators, retired K-9, snark-fest, sly-humor***** The thing about Rosenfelt's books is that the stories themselves could be true crime with an unlikely (but astute lawyer) but are presented as clear fiction because of the sly humor which makes them fun instead of horror. The publisher's blurb is a great hook, but the incredible due diligence carries the day with a lot of snarkiness. It really doesn't matter if you've read any of the Andy Carpenter books, this stands alone as a winner! Corey Douglas and his K-9 partner, Simon Garfunkel, have recently retired from the police force only to join up with a former colleague, the ex-cop wife (Laurie) of early retired lawyer Andy Carpenter. Excellent read with the most amazing twists! Fred Berman narrates this fast-paced snark fest full of very interesting characters very well indeed! I requested and received a free temporary audio copy from St. Martin's Press/Minotaur Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
