 Detecting & Dogs, 2008-05-15
The bitting humor and self-depreciation of the main character remind me of Isaac Asimov. If you like strong plots, great characters and dogs, David Rosenfelt mysteries are probably going to become part of the dog-eared selections of your library.

Very good read by a first time writer, 2007-10-15
I cannot believe I have missed such a wonderful writer until now. This is David Rosenfelt's first book but he writes like a seasoned writer. It has a lot of humorous remarks and the story has an unexpected ending.
He is definitely another writer I will continue to follow his works.

Awesome!!, 2007-09-03
This book was outstanding. Wonderful pacing and some of the best dialogue I have read in years. The Publishers Weekly review was way off and with regards to Harlan Coben, I can easily say Rosenfelt is 5 times the writer that Coben is.

 For Hardy Boys fans only!, 2007-05-21
I bought this book because it was in my Amazon recommendations
as a "legal thriller/mystery".
Don't believe it! This book is very juvenile and the main
character could be Frank & Joe Hardy's sleuthing buddy.
Stick with John Grisham and David Baldacci. I also recommend
Greg Iles, but I won't read any more books in this series.

Finished it in one sitting, 2007-01-14
This book draws you in immediately with the excellent writing style of the author. It is told in first person which I usually have trouble with but this book is definately and exception.
Andy Carpenter is a wise cracking defense attorney who is separated from his wife and likes to spend most of his free time with his golden retriever. His father convinces him to take the appeal of an inmate on death row that his father had put there when he was a prosecuter.
So many wierd things happen especially after Andy's father suddenly dies and leaves him a hidden fortune that he could not possibly have earned in his career as a prosecutor. To add to that there is a mysterious photograph of Andy's father with a four other men. When Andy start to investigate who the other men are, threats to his life start to happen. Andy is not sure if it has to do with the death row murder case he is trying to overturn or not.
The author also masters the courtroom dialogue so that the reader actually feels they are there. Excellent work Mr. Rosenfelt!
