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.

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Praise for The More the Terrier

“David Rosenfelt is a literary jewel and his Andy Carpenter series continues to be the most satisfying in crime fiction today.” —Rothenberg on WBAI/RADIO

"Andy's humor is intact: the world would be better if people were golden retrievers."—Booklist

Library Journal

09/01/2024

Dog lover and lawyer Andy Carpenter's latest adventure (following Dog Day Afternoon) begins when a dog his family previously fostered turns up at their house. He returns the dog to its owner, a woman whose college student son has just been arrested for the murder of one of his professors. Andy reluctantly takes up the case of the young man and quickly discovers anomalies. Why was his previous attorney trying to tank the case? Did the professor's online behavior have anything to do with his death? Or perhaps it was his drug use. Andy is still trying to figure out what is going on when people start disappearing. An ominous visit from a Homeland Security agent raises the stakes, and the Russian mob is unsubtly interested in the case as well. It's a race to the finish as the trial is underway while they try to untangle the relationships among the suspects and victim. VERDICT Fans of the series will enjoy Andy Carpenter's latest outing, which includes a complex but fast-moving mystery, plenty of offbeat characters on both sides of the law, and several dogs. As in the earlier books, Rosenfelt doesn't weigh them down with too much backstory, so newcomers can dive right in.—Dan Forrest
