One Dog Night (Andy Carpenter) ReviewI like David Rosenfelt' books about lawyer Andy Carpenter very much. "One Dog Night", the latest entry, is an entertaining read, featuring all the qualities series followers have come to expect: Andy's self-deprecating and/or outrageous sense of humor ("In fact, of all the mass murderers I have ever met, I think I like Noah Galloway the best."), Andy's obsession with watching sports on television, Andy's reluctance to take cases, Andy's relationship with his live-in lover and private investigator Laurie Collins, Andy's nearly-impossible-to-prove-not-guilty client, Andy's courtroom antics, Andy's super-hacker accountant Sam Willis, and Andy's friends Detective Pete Stanton and newspaper editor Vince Sanders. Readers who appreciate Rosenfelt's formula for this series will like this book.
Marcus Clark, a very tough, very scary man who often investigates for Andy, and who is probably my favorite of all the series' minor characters, reveals a little more about himself to Andy on trip to Vegas. Edna, Andy's barely working secretary, and Hike Lang, the extraordinarily pessimistic lawyer who currently assists Andy when he does take a case, are also in the novel. Willie, a former client and Andy's partner in the Tara Foundation, which finds good homes for dogs, makes very minor appearances.
Of course, Tara, Andy's golden retriever makes several appearances. I'm an animal fanatic, so I consider Tara the central figure in each book in the series, no matter how much or how little she is in it. Once again she has a dog friend visiting her, this time her friend is Bailey of whom Andy comments: "Becky says she's a mastiff...but I think she might be a horse. I even think I might have bet on her once."
In this outing, Andy's client is Noah Galloway, who is arrested for locking 27 people in an apartment building, which he set on fire. Twenty-six of the people died. The fire occurred six years prior to the arrest. Defending Noah is challenging, in part because he admits he committed the crime and wants to be punished for it. As usual, Andy calls upon his detective and newspaper editor friends, as well as on his FBI friend for help. As usual, he gets by with some legal maneuvers that judges would probably not allow in the real world.
I do miss the song game that Andy used to play with Sam, and more participation by Willie. Also in this book a few of the same lines were used by more than one character, and they have been used in previous books. It would give the series more sparkle if the dialogue continued to be humerous, but was little more diverse and maybe a new element or two were added to the Carpenter formula. So a three and three-quarters stars. But I'll be buying the next Andy Carpenter for sure. If you've never read the other books in this series, you may want to start with the first one: "Open and Shut".
