Product Description
Following the success of Bury the Lead, a Today show Book Club Pick selected by Janet Evanovich, David Rosenfelt delivers an exciting new mystery featuring Defense Attorney Andy Carpenter. Kenny Schilling is the new star running back for the New York Giants. Troy Preston was a wide receiver for the Jets, until his recent murder. Could rivalry have turned Kenny Schilling into a cold-blooded killer? The police say yes. And now the football hero needs a good lawyer-quick. Still basking in the glow of his last successful case, Andy Carpenter is called to defend Kenny's innocence. Then it's revealed that Troy wasn't the only murdered player Kenny was in contact with. Now, amid a collapsing personal life and death threats from a drug king-who may or may not have a hand in things-Andy must keep his eye on the ball during what could become the media trial of the century.

 Series slows down, 2008-02-09
With the 4th book in the series Andy Carpenter's witty observations, love of his dog, relationship with Laurie, as well as his springing rabbits from hats to get his clients off all don't seem as fresh and compelling as they were in the firsr couple of books. The continuing cast of characters are comforting in their familiarity, but Andy and company seem to lack some kind of edge compared to other series. Maybe Laurie returning to her childhood home and Andy seeing other women will add some interesting aspects to the next few adventures. All in all, it is a series worth reading - the last two books just have not been as gripping as the first two novels.

 love this series, 2008-01-09
If you like Janet Evanovich, give Andy Carpenter a try. I would start with the first book in the series, but you don't have to. This is a quick read.

A+, 2007-10-18
Another fun and fast-paced courtroom mystery from one of my favorite new authors. This one and First Degree are the best of the bunch. Some of the scenes in Sudden Death jumped out at me and caught me of guard. I love it when that happens in books. Doesn't happen enough.

Worth reading and reading and rereading and ...., 2007-07-28
I first read this as a library book. I keep getting it out and rereading it. It's probably time I bought a copy. It's witty, well plotted and over-all, a pleasure to read and reread and reread and ....

Another Fine Work From Rosenfelt!, 2007-07-23
Rosenfelt succesfully follows up his first three novels, Open And Shut, First Degree and Bury The Lead, with Sudden Death. Rosenfelt continues to grow as one of the freshest voices among today's mystery writers due to his ability to provide interesting plots, credible courtroom drama, plenty of surprises, lots of humor and well-developed major and minor characters. Andy Carpenter, the main character who is a wise-cracking suburban New Jersey defense attorney, is one that stays in your mind even after you finish the book and is one that I'm looking forward to 'hang out' with in his future legal adventures. Plus, his dog, Tara, is one I wish I had. I highly recommend Sudden Death when you're in the mood for a fast-paced, easy read. However, you might want to first consider reading the other books in the series which I think will further your appreciation of Sudden Death.
