This Christmas, lawyer Andy Carpenter and his golden retriever, Tara, can't say no to helping young Danny and his dachshund, Murphy.
Lawyer Andy Carpenter and his wife, Laurie, have started a new Christmas tradition. Their local pet store has a Christmas tree, where instead of ornaments there are wishes from those in need. One poignant wish leads Andy to a child named Danny, whose selfless plea strikes a chord. Danny asked Santa for a coat for his mother, a sweater for his dachshund, Murphy, and for the safe return of his missing father.
It turns out Dannyβs father doesn't want to be found, heβs on the run after just being arrested for a murder that took place fourteen years ago β a murder that Dannyβs mother swears he didnβt commit.
With his trademark humor and larger-than-life characters β including a police officer and his K-9 partner, Simon β Rosenfelt never fails to deliver as Andy and his eccentric crew dash to reunite a family in time for Christmas. **
Review
βA strong plot, likable characters, and plenty of wry humor keep the pages turning. Dog lovers wonβt want to miss this one.β β Publishers Weekly
βThe main course can't top the opening act because the dog is the consistently amusing hero's most appealing client ever.β β Kirkus Reviews
"It's a pleasure to read a mystery where every sentence, even every word, advances the plot or comments on it." β Booklist
βThis book was a romping good time, perfect for taking a break through the stressful holidays . . . The action and the fun never stop, and I enjoyed reading it very much . . . David Rosenfelt gets two paws up and a tail wag from me.β β Dogster Magazine
βIf you love dogs (and even if you donβt but love a good mystery), you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of David Rosenfeltβs Andy Carpenter mystery series . . . Talk about hitting all the right buttons. Intelligent mystery, dialogue, twists, red-herrings, and dogs.β β Rosepoint Publishing
βThis is a fun, feel-good story that also has depth and complexity . . . Andyβs humor and the overall tone make this a light read, but beneath the surface weβre given much to consider.β β Quiet Fury Books
βAndyβs team has been unstoppable in this series, and this book is no exception. Andyβs relationship with each and every one of them is my favorite part of the series, and reading Rosenfelt's books is as comfortable as slippers and hot chocolate.β β Madderly Review

βIn my recollection, there has never been a bad book featuring Andy Carpenter and his assorted team of assistants.β β Book Bitch
