A Legal Mystery
I didn’t know at the time that this latest was a prequel to the Andy Carpenter Mystery series. Knowing this now, things become clear why I thought the story seemed to revert in time…why do this I stay puzzled.
The story in a few words:
Andy has left his job as a prosecutor to open his own defense practice. While visiting a shelter to adopt a dog he bonded with golden retriever named Tara. Not wanted to leave Sunny, a beagle and kennel-mate behind, Andy wanted to take him home also, but one hick: incarcerated Frank Tierney Sunny’s owner needed to give a written consent.
Thus began a new chapter in Andy’s life launching is new career by defending Frank Tierney and having two furry friends to share his home….
My thoughts:
Definitely a starting point for those not familiar with the series not only will you find it engaging but also filled with humour and suspense.
Bringing us back in time those who read other books will remember familiar names Sam, Pete, Laurie his wife, Edna and Marcus they all play an intricate part to make this mystery captivating. Andy’s client Frank accused of murdering his ex-boss and two ex-coworkers in a car bomb blast seemed a case hard to break but Andy uses all his wits and connections to win the game…..along the way we witness a realistic investigation to pin point the whodunit that will eventually bring us to a very well-done courtroom scene.
I stayed totally captivated with this story. Hard not to when a story is active, well written and has wonderful characters.
Well-said and well-done.
Thank you, St-Martin Press and Netgalley for this ARC
