Description

In this "taut thriller full of whiplash plot twists and wisecracking dialogue," a lawyer will do whatever it takes to make sure an adorable Bernese puppy -- whose owner was brutally murdered -- doesn't fall into the wrong hands (Entertainment Weekly).
Few can rival Andy's affection for dogs. However, the playful new friend he just inherited is valued by several people, many of whom are willing to resort to violence to get what they want. It will take more than Andy's usual courtroom theatrics to save this dog, including a little help from his beloved golden retriever, Tara.
Andy soon discovers that anyone around him is in danger, including his long-time girlfriend Laurie, and he will have to muster all of his wits to save those he holds most dear.

    This book is probably the best yet! It's longer and more serious, but it grips you. The characters continue to grow. I guessed the final solution earlier than I expected. Not sure if the author intended that or not.
  • The best so far

    I am in the process of reading the Andy Carpenter novels in order. This is the best one so far. All have the wit and sarcasm that hooked me in the first place. This one, unlike its predecessors, kept me guessing until the final pages. I hope that this is the beginning of a trend.

    Delightful doggie book which took the edge off of losing my canine best friend to old age. I will read more in honor of Lily.

    I loved it, like all the Andy Carpenter Books. This is turning into my “Andy Carpenter summer.” New tricks is the fifth one I’ve read and I can hardly wait to get the next one.
