Review

On PLAY DEAD: "Riveting...alive with reliable Rosenfelt wit and heart." (Publishers Weekly (starred review) )

"A taut thriller full of whiplash plot twists and wisecracking dialogue." (Entertainment Weekly )

"A cracking good yarn...Andy's offbeat, outspoken personality shines on every page, and the balance of humor and mystery is dead-on." (Booklist (starred review) )

"A funny, warm-hearted mystery, NEW TRICKS moves quickly and playfully - almost puppylike-through mounting crimes, a long-distance love affair and a secret science project that threatens to thwart [Andy] Carpenter's best efforts. Three Stars." (People )

Product Description

Attorney Andy Carpenter is about to represent an adorable Bernese mountain dog puppy, whose owner was brutally murdered, in a custody fight. Few can rival Andy's affection for dogs, and he's determined to keep Waggy from falling into the wrong hands. But this playful pup possesses a valuable secret that some people will resort to violence to obtain. It will take more than Andy's usual courtroom theatrics to save Waggy, including help from the lawyer's golden retriever, Tara. Andy soon discovers that everyone around him is in danger, including his longtime girlfriend, Laurie--and only some high-risk new tricks will save those he cherishes most.

4.0 out of 5 stars Andy is best in the courtroom, Jan 4 2010

By	L. J. Roberts (Oakland, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: New Tricks (Hardcover)

First Sentence: Andy Carpenter, Lawyer to the Dogs.

Attorney Andy Carpenter inherited enough money so he can work only when he wants, or when a judge assigns him a pro bono case. When the head of a large pharmaceutical company and owner of a Bernese mountain dog puppy is murdered, Carpenter is asked to take care of the dog until the custody fight between the mans widow and son is settled.

He doesnt expect that when he picks the dog up, the house explodes and the original owners widow is killed and the son is accused of murder. Andy agrees to defend the son, but things become personal when someone shoots his girlfriend.

Its an odd situation where the protagonist of the book is someone I dont particularly care for. He is a little too wise-cracking, and except when in the courtroom, Andy often comes off as a bit of a dork and not always very bright. He has relationship issues, of which I am getting bored. Happily, in this book, Andy emotionally grows up. While I enjoy the song-chat dialogue between Andy and his friend Sam, Town Without Pity was written and made famous by Gene Pitney. However, the supporting characters, including the dogs, even out the tone of the book and make it very enjoyable.

What I really did like was the plot. Whenever I thought I knew where the story was going or what the motive for the killings was, the story went somewhere else; the twists were very good, unexpected and I never saw the villain coming. I did have a couple issues; portentsbut there was only one so I could forgive it; and Lauries recovery seemed way too fast for me.

What I did appreciate was being able to read it while having a 7-year-old reading it aloud next to me and I didnt have to switch books because of expletive language, sex or violence that his father, in the row ahead of me on the plane, would not have appreciated my sharing with his child.

I also appreciated that the theme of the book is very current but didnt overwhelm the pace of the story, and Rosenfelts book does have a great pace.

Some criticize the idea of a book being an airplane read. I view it as a compliment as its something that can completely distract and engross me and that I want to finish in one read. New Tricks was a very good airplane read. Ive already ordered his next book.
