"Gardner's familiarity with Andy and the team is clear as he characterizes the larger-than-life characters with aplomb. His spot-on timing allows Andy's wisecracks to shine, while his subtle changes in inflection help signal passages not told from Andy's point of view. The result is a thoroughly enjoyable listen."- AudioFile Magazine

This program is read by longtime series and award-winning narrator, Grover Gardner.

In Holy Chow, the next mystery from bestselling author David Rosenfelt, the beloved charactersā€”both human and canineā€”of this fan favorite series are back on the case with the authorā€™s trademark wit and humor.


Retired lawyer Andy Carpenterā€™s calling has always been running the Tara Foundation. The dog rescue organization places hundreds of dogs in new homes every year. Itā€™s added up to so many dogs and new owners that Andy canā€™t even do the math. But thereā€™s one dogā€”and one ownerā€”Andy will always remember.

About a year ago, Rachel Morehouse came to the foundation looking for a companion. In her sixties and recently widowed, Rachel wanted a senior dog that also needed someone. Andy took a liking to her, Rachel took a liking to Lion, an older Chow Chow, and the rest is history.

That is, until Rachel calls Andy begging for a favor: If Rachel dies, will Andy take care of Lion if her stepson cannot? Andy agrees, no questions asked, and promptly forgets about it... until he receives a call from Rachelā€™s estate to attend her will reading. Which is where he meets Rachelā€™s stepson, Tony, who is promptly arrested for his stepmotherā€™s murder. And he wants Andy to prove his innocence.

Andy has continued to learn more about the woman he so greatly admired and the businesses she ran, and holy chow, was this woman impressive. The person who killed her deserves to be held accountable, and if Tony is to be believed, theyā€™re still out there. And that possibility is too much for Andy to remain on the sidelines.

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.
