RESCUED Andy Carpenter, Book 17

Narrator Grover Gardner provides the perfect intonations for this audiobook. Rosenfelt's latest in his Andy Carpenter series puts his hero in a unique situation--defending his wife's ex, who has been accused of murder. Gardner's breezy first-person narration of this mystery provides Carpenter's perspective. And while the few women in the audiobook are not differentiated as well as they could be, Gardner creates a fully dimensional character for the protagonist, emphasizing Carpenter's sarcasm and glib comments. His beer-drinking pals are given deep yet distinctive voices. And there's a rescued bunch of dogs that figure into the case. This audiobook is for anyone who likes mysteries--and dogs, of course.
