A cool, methodical hit man working his way down a list.
A state senator blackmailed for something that happened in Vegas but failed to stay there.
An elderly woman known for rescuing puppies, charged with murder.
We know from the start these story lines will somehow be woven together but as usual, the fun part is getting there.
Because when there are abandoned puppies in New Jersey you’ll find Andy Carpenter, dog rescuer & reluctant lawyer. When Martha “Pups” Boyer is charged with shooting her nasty neighbour, Andy steps up to take care of her & her fluffy entourage.
The whole gang is back from Hike the hypochondriac to Marcus, the scariest man on earth. Or at least in New Jersey. Andy will need every one of them as Martha’s case soon becomes about much more than a fatal spat between neighbours.
This entertaining legal thriller serves up a twisty tale of murder & greed. Rosenfelt delivers a smart, well plotted story full of colourful characters & witty dialogue. The bonus for long time fans is a chance to catch up with this cast of loons that feels like bumping into old friends. And it may change the way you think about kale.
