Book Review: ‘Flop Dead Gorgeous: An Andy Carpenter Novel’ By David Rosenfelt

Jenny Nichols is a Hollywood star, and has returned to Pattison, NJ on a break, and gets in touch with Andy Carpenter, who she dated in high school. They have a reunion dinner, with his wife Laurie and friends. Then Jenny’s current co-star, and ex-boyfriend Ryan shows up, and demands she leave with him. He’s thrown out, and then is found stabbed to death in the house where she is staying, and the only suspect is Jenny, who is arrested for his murder. Andy takes her case and has his crew investigating, and it leads to drugs, a Russian hitman, but no evidence to help Jenny. Once the trial begins, Andy is going to need a miracle to save Jenny. This is the 27th novel in the series, and is another fun book. David Rosenfelt writes these novels so well, with nods to the dogs in Andy’s life, his awesome wife Laurie, and one of my favorite characters in all books is Marcus. Fans of the series will enjoy this one.
