‘Hearing to Grover Gardner narrating a David Rosenfelt novel is like sliding into favorite slippers by the end of a long day time: One feels the joyful gratification of a perfect match.’ – AudioFile

The next audiobook in David Rosenfelt’s witty, heartfelt mystery series featuring attorney Andy Carpenter and his faithful golden retriever, Tara.

When defense lawyer Andy Carpenter’s veterinarian asks to speak to him privately on the checkup of his golden retriever, Tara, the last thing Andy expects is on the subject of Bark of Evening Truman. Tiny, healthy, French bulldog Truman was dropped off days ago with guidelines to be euthanized by a guy everyone thought was his owner. However now the owner is certainly nowhere to be found.

Andy is furious. Who would need to euthanize a perfectly healthy dog with no explanation? He is willing to whisk Truman away towards the Tara Base, the dog-rescue organization which is Andy’s true interest. They will find a home for Truman. But that’s not all the vet tells Andy. Thanks to Truman’s chip, it’s found that the man wasn’t Truman’s owner at all . Truman’s true owner was murdered.

It’s now up to Andy – with help from his loyal sidekick Tara, Truman and the rest of the gang – to solve this case. In the latest in the favorite Andy Carpenter mystery series, David Rosenfelt’s charmingly clever wit and like of dogs are back and much better than ever.

Compliment for Grover Gardner seeing that Andy Carpenter:
