In David Rosenfelt’s newest series – a spinoff of the much beloved Andy Carpenter mysteries – Andy’s wife forms an investigative team with a former detective and his German shepard partner.

Andy Carpenter’s wife, Laurie, was a cop, a good one. Now she helps out on Andy’s cases while also raising Ricky, their son. But she’s been chafing to jump back into investigating on her own, and when her former partner and his German shepard K-9 partner come to her with a proposal, she’s in.

From the author of the bestselling Andy Carpenter mysteries comes a spectacular new series with a K-9 main character.

I read one of Rosenfelt’s Andy Carpenter’s books a few years ago, and I enjoyed his humor and pace so I wanted to give this book a try.

It’s been a while since I read my last Rosenfelt book, but this very much reminded me of it but with different characters (though not TOO many different characters — Andy and his wife are quite involved). With the big picture of the dog on the cover I expected the German Shepherd to be a bigger part of the book. He wasn’t really a main character, but his presence definitely inspired some activities and events. And despite the description, the story isn’t really about Laurie, it’s about her partner, Corey. (If you’re expecting a female POV, you’ll be disappointed.)

Overall, a fun book. Not too much swearing and no graphic violence or sex. I appreciate that the author includes them but without showing too much. If you’re a fan of W. Bruce Cameron’s Repo Man series, you might enjoy this book.
