Aubrey Hamilton Reviews: Rescued by David Rosenfelt
Rescued by David
Rosenfelt (Minotaur, 2018) is the 17th Andy Carpenter legal mystery.
The titles of all of the books in this series are dog-related and dogs are
front and center in this one. Key to the plot is the common practice of transporting
large numbers of animals at risk of euthanasia in rural Southern shelters to
the Northeast where homes are found for them. The transporters are generally
volunteers coordinated by another volunteer with great logistical and planning
skills.
Andy
Carpenter is a defense lawyer who is happy not to work. He spends his days with
his wife Laurie and son Ricky and with the dogs at the rescue he runs with his
friend Willie. So when Laurie asks him to take on the defense of a man who’s
been accused of murder, he’s reluctant. When he learns the victim was driving a
truck of 70 shelter dogs to new homes, he’s appalled. When he learns the
accused is Laurie’s former boyfriend, he’s looking for the door. Only Laurie’s
insistence gets him involved with a case that appears on the surface to be open
and shut.
As
usual with this series, there is far more going on than immediately meets the
eye. Never mistake these books for amusing and fluffy stories about doggies.
Despite the light-hearted wisecracks that Andy and his friends exchange and
Andy’s besottedness about his animals, this is a well-plotted mystery with
plenty of courtroom drama and unpleasant people full of nefarious intent who
have found a sickeningly realistic way of manipulating the stock market to
their advantage.
David
Rosenfelt is a committed dog rescuer who has found time to create and document
a group of likable, credible characters that represent various parts of the
U.S. judicial system. His other books include stand-alone thrillers and a new
series featuring a New Jersey state police officer. His biographical story that
describes his family’s move with some 25 dogs from southern California to Maine,
Dogtripping
(St. Martin’s, 2013), received a Library Journal starred review.
