I have said this before and I will say this again. I can not start a new Andy Carpenter book without going to YouTube and playing the theme to Matlock first. That’s a compliment in my eyes because I love Matlock and that’s all I see when I picture Andy Carpenter. 

Andy comes home from vacation and finds a dog in front of his house. Upon further investigation, they realized they knew this dog. This was a dog that they had in their rescue that was adopted by a young man named Brian. When Andy and his wife go to return the dog they find Brian’s mom and find out that Brian was arrested for the murder of his college professor. 

Andy visits Brian in jail and then replaces his attorney and becomes Brians defense. Once he takes the case Andy and his entourage start investigating. I love all of Andy’s crew but my favorite has always been Marcus. Marcus really shines in this one and has a lot of big moments.

This is a courtroom drama filled with a lot of laughs thanks to the sarcastic nature of Andy’s personality. This was a fast and fun book that I can not recommend enough. 

Final score: 5/5
