Who doesn't love a Christmas mystery featuring curmudgeonly Andy Carpenter and his Golden Retriever Tara? It took until February for Santa's Little Yelpers (#1,116) to arrive on the New Books shelf at my local library, but that didn't matter.
What does matter is the fact that one of the Tara Foundation's faithful volunteers has just been arrested for a murder he says he didn't commit. In fact, the victim could have cleared his conviction on a manslaughter charge from three years ago that got him disbarred from a prestigious New York City law firm. Will Andy help him? Well, there goes the Christmas in Disneyworld Andy had planned for wife Laurie and their adopted son Ricky...
Throw in land grabs in a remote Pennsylvania town, a strange religious cult and the murder of a mobster's son and you have the ingredients for a mystery that will keep you guessing right up until the end. Love the humorous touches in these books!
