Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Edgar-finalist Rosenfelt's riveting sixth legal thriller (after 2006's Dead Center) brings independently wealthy Paterson, N.J., lawyer Andy Carpenter to the defense of a very special domestic violence victim, Yogi, a golden retriever alleged to have bitten its owner. Andy uses the court system to spring Yogi from an animal shelter's death row and adopt him, adding the dog to a small family that includes longtime pet golden Tara. But when the gang goes for a walk that leads to a joyful reunion between Yogi and a woman named Karen Evans, Andy learns Yogi is actually Reggie, presumed dead five years earlier after the conviction of Karen's brother, U.S. Customs Inspector Richard Evans, for the murder of his fiancée, Stacy Harriman. Suspecting Richard's innocence, Andy tackles the case like a dog on a chew toy, undeterred by an intricate web of deception involving a possible government coverup. No shaggy dog story, this puppy's alive with reliable Rosenfelt wit and heart. (May)

From AudioFile

With 22 million bucks in the bank, Defense Attorney Andy Carpenter has little need to carry much of a case load. Golden retriever Yogi is cooling his paws on Death Row at the local animal shelter, charged with biting his owner. Carpenter, a dog-lover, takes the case, causes a nationwide media frenzy, and helps Yogi beat the rap. But thats just the beginning. PLAY DEAD is a gem, and narrator Grover Gardner polishes it to perfection. His nasal tone and staccato cadence nail the North Jersey setting. His timing and style for Rosenfelts one-liners and smart-aleck dialogue are right on target. The plot is packed with twists, and Gardners narration makes it a ride not to be missed. T.J.M.

5.0 out of 5 stars Play Dead, Nov 4 2009

By	Cindy M. Harding "book addict" (Ontario) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Play Dead (Mass Market Paperback)

This was the first David Rosenfelt book I read. What drew me to it was the fact that it involved a dog. I have since become addicted to this series of books now reading my fourth and I have pre-ordered his new book as well. This book in particular has subtle twists and is not too overly intense that it loses its readers. I became engrossed and involved with the main characters who are a constant throughout the other stories as well. Rosenfelt makes you feel like you know these characters on a personal basis. The main character, Andy Carpenter, comes across as a regular kind of guy who happens to be a top notch defense attorney but is still quite humble and who happens as a by-line to love dogs and rescues them from shelters. Golden retrievers are his particular breed of choice. The humor in the story will keep the reader enthralled and laughing as you delve into the plot. The author has a way of making the ending, while not so much suspensful as satisfying. There is no extensive legal jargon to tie the story down and the ending will make you cheer for the good guy...and the dog...
