Constantly Moving the Bookmark

Mr. Rosenfelt is a favorite of mine when it comes to “humerous thrillers” (is that even a book genre?). Admittedly, the stories follow a familiar pattern but Andy Carpenter’s sarcastic wit always makes me smile or, dare I admit it, actually laugh out loud.

In this installment we have an ex-cop/war vet/amputee turned thief and his trusty sidekick ex-police dog. They happen to witness a murder while committing a crime and are, of course, the primary suspects. Both incarcerated until trial, Andy springs the dog and discovers that this case is about much more than a mere murder … not solving it could lead to world crisis. So Andy, his entourage and the reader are off to the races. I liked it.
