Book Review: ‘Santa’s Little Yelpers: An Andy Carpenter Novel’ By David Rosenfelt

Andy just wants to get through the holidays, watch NFL and NBA and for Christmas take his wife Laurie and son Ricky to Disneyland. Then Chris Myers calls and once again Andy is un-retired. Chris is a dis-barred lawyer, who has gotten out of prison, after being convicted of manslaughter, a charge he denies and now works at the Tara Foundation. Chris says the man who clinched his conviction wants to recant and admits he lied. Then he changes his mind again and when Chris confronts him at his house, the man is shot dead and Chris is arrested and charged with his murder. So Andy has to postpone his trip and defend Chris. And Andy does what Andy does, he assembles his team, the research and find things are not what they seem. And then we get the trial and Andy has to pull out all the stops to try and free Chris, even if it puts many lives at risk. Filled with fun supporting characters, including Marcus and his three dogs, this is another fun novel and fans of the series will be happy.
