I just love the Andy Carpenter series and I'm always excited to pick his latest book up! This 23rd installment is full of the usual humor, excitement and a twisty plot full of surprises. The book opens up with Andy and Laurie witnessing a stranger abusing a pug - but before they (okay, well, Laurie) can intervene, a different stranger steps in and rescues the dog, although it leads to him being extradited to Maine on a murder charge.

Andy goes to Maine (where the real David Rosenfelt resides - he even inserts himself here in a rather meta moment) and ends up taking the case, never being able to leave a fellow dog-lover undefended in court. It's exciting, fast-paced and just a genuinely fun read! I loved every page of it! I had such a good time reading it that I really couldn't put it down! All of the regular characters show up here - and if you start here, I don't think that too much of the series is really given away - though, of course, I do recommend starting with the very first book, OPEN AND SHUT. This is such a fantastic series and I can't hardly believe that it's already the 23rd book in the series - already can't wait for number 24!!
