A Dog Day Afternoon is the 29th book in the Andy Carpenter series but don’t let that scare you. This is approachable as a standalone. 

This is not my first book in the series but it’s also not my 29th. I wish it was my 29th because I have loved every book in this series so far and that continues with A Dog Day Afternoon.  

I have loved Andy in every one of these stories. He is a sarcastic lawyer who loves dogs. In between chapters, I find myself humming the theme of the courtroom drama show Matlock. 

This case that Andy takes is a favor for his friend and his muscle in a lot of these stories, Marcus. Marcus asked Andy to defend his friend Nick who is accused of being the shooter in a mass shooting at his place of work. The evidence is stacked against Nick which makes Andy not want to take the case. Early on he figures out Nick is innocent, now he just has to prove it. 

All of these books have quick interesting stories with great characters. I can not recommend this series enough. This is a perfect book to jump in with. 

Final Score 5/5
