    About this audiobook

    A lawyer by day-and then only when he's forced to take on new cases-Andy Carpenter's true passion is the Tara Foundation, the dog rescue organization he runs with his friend Willie Miller. So it's frightening when Willie calls him to say the alarm has gone off at the foundation building, and there's clearly been a break-in. It turns out that a recently rescued dog, nicknamed Cheyenne since her arrival at the foundation, has been stolen. Andy and Willie track the missing dog to a house in downtown Paterson, New Jersey and sure enough, they find the dog...standing right next to a dead body. The man had been gruesomely murdered mere minutes before Andy and Willie arrived. Could it be a coincidence? Or could the dog theft somehow be connected to the killing?

    Andy takes Cheyenne safely back to the foundation building, and that should be the end of his involvement, but Andy's curiosity-and his desire to keep the dog from further harm-won't let him stop there. The cops have just arrested a man named Tommy Infante for the murder, but as Andy looks into the circumstances surrounding the break-in and the dog theft, he starts to wonder if Infante might actually be innocent. And when Andy takes Infante on as a client and starts searching in earnest for evidence that will exonerate him, what Andy starts to discover terrifies him. The murder might be just one small cog in a plot with far-reaching implications, and unless Andy can uncover the truth in time, thousands of lives could be in imminent danger.

    Once again David Rosenfelt has written a fast-paced and clever mystery with his characteristic blend of humor, larger-than-life characters, and propulsive plotting.

      I hadn’t read one of these Andy/dog novels in several years, but this has sucked me back in. Excellent plot— but I especially love the way Andy has developed into an Archie Goodwin level wisecracker.
    • 5/5
      Good story. Funny dialogue. Amusing sarcastic lawyer. Enjoy it very much.
    • 4/5
      The series has kept me going...the writing is witty and the stories move along. I like the characters and how they weave in and out of each book. What's next?
    • 5/5
      family-dynamics, friendship, situational-humor, verbal-humor, snark-fest, gangsters, law-enforcement, private-investigators, lawyers, dogs, murder, murder-investigationTake a wisemouthed lawyer who can afford to take semi retirement by only representing innocent clients while supporting an animal shelter, add in that his wife is no longer law enforcement but works as his private investigator and more and you have the baseline for this convoluted mystery. There are many other people who help Andy find out what the truth really is and make it courtroom admissible. Well-crafted murder mystery!Lots of twists and turns in the plot and the characters certainly are, but there's no need for spoilers or an attempt at a summary. I found it to be a real brain grabber and was surprised to find that it is the most recent in a series! At no time does the reader feel lost or as if missing background info.Grover Gardner narrates this complicated snarkfest very well!
    • 2/5
      Finding this book was a treat — I thought I’d read the whole Andy Carpenter series. The reader, Grover Gardner, is one I’ve not heard before. He portrays Andy in a nasal whine, slightly squeaky and faintly ridiculous. This is not the Andy Carpenter I “know.” I’m debating whether I can listen to this 7-hour recording without beginning to ridicule and perhaps dislike Andy. MacMillan Audio made a baaaad choic of narrator!
    • 4/5
      The plot line was solid and the characters were well developed, but Andy has a really smart ass mouth that would be amusing in far smaller doses. And the story is bloody violent.
    • 5/5
      Author David Rosenfelt has achieved the perfect balance of light-hearted mystery and suspense thriller in this entertaining series. In this tale, an ordinary dog has been stolen from the rescue organization, but just minutes later, the thief was found dead with the dog nearby. Andy Carpenter is again caught up in a mystery that will take him from his cozy surroundings and throw him into a world of deception, smuggling, and oh yes, more murders. Again in the courtroom with a client who claims to have been setup, Andy needs to uncover the murderer or murderers to free his client, because no jury will find him innocent. This tale has the charm and humor of a cozy but still maintains page-turning suspense.
    • 4/5
      Andy Carpenter is now married to Laurie and they have adopted Ricky (from the previous book.) An odd theft of a dog from their shelter leads Andy and his crew to a vicious murder and a puzzle. Why would anyone want to steal a particular dog from a shelter when all they had to do was walk in and adopt it? The case gets complicated, of course, and soon involves a dead chemist and blood diamonds, all tied together by Zoe, the shepherd mix.The book is a delightful mix of humor and mystery not to mention dog-love. Since I like all three and Grover Gardner is a wonderful reader, this book (and the series) are a delight.An example of the humor is Andy’s self deprecation as he’s trying to assemble a toy parking garage for his son. He begins by listing the many types of evil people in the world, i.e., terrorists, murders, etc. but the worst are toy manufacturers who consistently lie when they produce toys requiring “minimal” assembly and with no written instructions, except in Chinese or French, and have incomprehensible pictures. It’s a very funny scene with him sure the garage is missing at least four crucial parts and when completed looks like a Syrian warehouse that has just suffered a rocket attack. For those of you who like hints in your mysteries I will drop one: chemical vapor deposition. That holds the key to the solution.

      A special thank you to St. Martin's Press, Minotaur Books, and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. WHO LET THE DOG OUT by David Rosenfelt (Andy Carpenter #13), is a mix of legal thriller, murder mystery, a dog lovers world, humor, and baseball; for a fun-filled suspense engaging read.Attorney Andy Carpenter is an unabashed animal lover, and he has a reputation for saving both dogs and humans from Death Row. With the help of his beloved golden retriever Tara, Andy solves cases and wins courtroom battles in this acclaimed series of legal thrillers.The Tara Foundation, is a dog rescue organization, in New Jersey and attorney Andy Carpenter operates with his friend Willie (a former client). They are all about saving dogs, similar to Andy saving humans from death row in his legal practice.As the book opens a break-in occurs at the Tara Foundation. A recue dog, Cheyenne, a German shepherd mix has been stolen. The dog fortunately has a GPS chip, leading them to take off and investigate the dog whereabouts. What they find is shocking….the dog is standing to a dead man—brutally murdered. What gives?Andy, with his investigative attorney mind, seems to think there is more to the story, even though the cops arrested someone for the murder (Tommy Infante). However, have the cops arrested the correct man, or could he be innocent? Andy decides to take on Tommy as a client, and uncovers a bigger mystery which leads them to danger. While they are trying to track down Cheyenne’s former owner—leading them to a fugitive suspected of murdering his business partner, an international diamond smuggling, and domestic terrorism, plus more. Who was the real owner of the dog and how is this connected to the murder? With an array of suspects, Andy is full of wit and humor with wise cracks, lovable dogs, and some good crime thrilling suspense mystery. With some personal fun with Andy --his wife Laurie, baseball, and their adopted eight-year old son, Ricky.This was my first book by Rosenfelt and was attracted to the series, as a lover of legal thrillers and golden retrievers (Wow, do I miss my special and unique golden –Golden Duke for fifteen wonderful years—great memories). This one is for you! Goldens are special dogs and lovers of Donna Ball’s Raine Stockton Dog Mysteries (Golden-Cisco) will find the series intriguing. Rosenfelt’s passion shines through each page. A strong delivery and some great legal and investigative work. Look forward to reading the next in the series, and catching up with the previous Andy Carpenter books.
    • 3/5
      This is a very good addition to an enjoyable series. Andy Carpenter and his family , at home and when he works , is always entertaining. All dog lovers need to find this series and read it. Some interesting twists, the predictable outcome and some very funny wise cracks from Andy make this book a fast summer read.
    • 3/5
      Too much baseball, not enough dogI gravitate towards books with dogs on the cover and I keep forgetting that David Rosenfelt’s books always have a dog on the cover but only have peripheral dog characters. Since this is his 13th Andy Carpenter book, he has enough loyal readers to sustain new books but I find his characters shallow and undeveloped although interesting. His background as a screenwriter ensures that once I’ve started one of his books I can’t stop but I’m always a little disappointed once I’ve finished. A pleasant enough read but Carpenter’s sports-nut wise-cracking isn’t my cup of tea.
