NEW TRICKS

Andy Carpenter is known to all as a dog-lover. That's why the judge has appointed him in a custody suit - involving a dog. Andy is just picking up the dog, when suddenly the house explodes and the widow, who has been claiming the dog is hers, is killed. Andy decides to defend the young man who is accused of the bombing, the son of the millionaire, who is also laying claim to custody of the dog. Things get very serious a few days later, when Andy's girlfriend, Laurie, is shot in their yard while she is tending the dog Andy has been taking care of for the custody suit.

I always enjoy David Rosenfelt's books and this was no exception. Andy is kind of lazy but nice. He is devoted to Laurie despite their long distance relationship and he is crazy about his dog, Tara. As always, the story begins rather simply, but soon becomes very complicated. All in all, this was a very enjoyable read.

Rating - 4 stars
