Compliment for Grover Gardner while Andy Carpenter:

‘Grover Gardner’s narration of Rosenfelt’s whodunits is what good audiobooks are about, and this newest overall performance is a excellent example. Gardner’s wonderful portrayal of defense lawyer Andy Carpenter continues to be fresh, allowing listeners to glimpse Andy’s soft center and laughter, despite his frequently cynical view from the world.’ – AudioFile Journal on Outfoxed

‘Gardner’s breezy, slightly sarcastic delivery is merely what’s necessary for Rosenfelt’s breezy, somewhat sarcastic mysteries featuring multimillionaire New Jersey attorney Andy Carpenter.’ – Publishers Regular on Play Dead
