The More the Terrier: An Andy Carpenter Mystery

"Listening to Grover Gardner narrating a David Rosenfelt novel is like sliding into favorite slippers at the end of a long day: One feels the joyful gratification of a perfect fit."-AudioFile on Bark of Night

The next installment in David Rosenfelt's bestselling Andy Carpenter series brings a lone pup to his doorstep, but when it comes to dogs, The More the Terrier.


Reluctant lawyer Andy Carpenter is relieved to be headed back to Paterson, New Jersey, after a week-long family vacation in the Adirondacks. He's ready to put the holly jolly season way behind him and settle in at home with his three dogs. But when they finally arrive, there is an extra dog eagerly awaiting them, as well as one anxious dog sitter.

When the dog showed up on the doorstep a few days ago, the sitter knew Andy would know what to do. Indeed, Andy recognizes Murphy, who the Carpenters fostered before the dog went home with BJ Bremer and his mother. BJ wanted to learn all he could about caring for Murphy, which made Andy like him immediately.

When Andy goes to take Murphy back to the Bremers, though, instead of the happy reunion he expects, he finds BJ's mother in tears. It turns out Murphy ran off...after BJ was arrested for murder. Andy had hoped for a quiet Christmas vacation, but he likes Murphy's family and his golden retriever, Tara, likes Murphy, so he can't resist getting involved. The case isn't as simple as Andy thought it would be, though, with BJ suspected of murdering one of his professors. With nothing to go on but Andy's own conviction in BJ's dog-loving character, proving his innocence would be a Christmas miracle.

With equal doses of doggy humor and courtroom drama, as well as Andy Carpenter's traditional humbug Christmas spirit, David Rosenfelt delivers another winner.

Kirkus Reviews

Lawyer Andy Carpenter leaves the comfort of Paterson, New Jersey, to defend a Rutgers student accused of killing his professor.

Brian “BJ” Bremer quarreled with his mentor, Prof. Steven Rayburn, over the grade on one of his assignments. That’s no big deal, of course, but Middlesex County prosecutor Timothy Nabers wants a jury to believe it’s the reason BJ beat Rayburn to death in the professor’s home. Apart from the flimsy motive, the evidence is dismayingly strong. The cops found BJ—who claims Rayburn broke protocol by summoning him to an off-campus meeting—standing over his professor’s bloody corpse, and a search of the student’s apartment reveals a hidden stash of cash and Rayburn’s Rolex, which BJ claims somebody planted. Luckily, Murphy, a foster terrier Andy had farmed out to BJ’s mother, finds his way back to Andy’s home just in time for Christmas and moves him, as urged by his tenderhearted wife, Laurie Collins, to wrestle BJ’s defense away from James Howarth, a do-nothing attorney who’s being paid by unnamed sources who want BJ to take a plea deal that will release him from prison in plenty of time to collect Social Security. Despite the evidence against his client, the whole setup stinks to high heaven, and it’s not long before Andy links Rayburn to a trio of online assailants and a serious Russian mobster the prosecution dutifully pooh-poohs. The unmasking of the killer is a soggy climax to a case that’s not exactly loaded with surprises, but the road there is consistently amusing.

Yes, yes, dogs and Christmas. But fans will know that no one does low-rent courtroom drama like Rosenfelt.
