Installment 31 of the Andy Carpenter series by Bestselling author, David Rosenfelt Dogged Pursuit: An Andy Carpenter Mysteryhas been released, and as usual, it is a delightful novel. It is different from the preceding novels because it starts out at the beginning of Andy Carpenter’s career as a defense lawyer, as well as history of Tara, his dog, and his early relationships. Most of us wish that this one had been released first, but it wasn’t and it’s nice to get the history.

Rosenfelt is an excellent storyteller, and does it with well-written prose and plenty of humor and fun. His novels aren’t actually cozies, but they are clean and light and have building suspense and unexpected scenarios. This novel has an unexpected dénouement which keeps readers on the edge to the very end. Anyone who chooses to listen to this novel via audio will enjoy the narrator, who is excellent.

Andy Carpenter is a likeable well-developed protagonist, and this novel gives readers enough information to make him believable and a character that will be remembered.

Anyone who hasn’t read the previous Andy Carpenter novels will want to go back and read them; the series is excellent and since there are so many, will keep readers busy for months. All told, this is another good one by David Rosenfelt and will be enjoyed by everyone, especially animal lovers.
