In National Bestseller David Rosenfelt's 'Twas the Bite Before Christmas, all through the Carpenter house, five dogs are stirring, and not even Andy can get out of working this next case at his door.
Reluctant lawyer Andy Carpenter is at the Tara Foundation's annual Christmas party. The dog rescue organization has always been his true calling, and this is one holiday tradition he can get behind because every dog that's come through the rescue--and their families--are invited to celebrate. This year's party is no exception. But before the stockings can be hung by the chimney with care, homicide detectives ruin the evening. Derek Moore, one of the foundation's best foster volunteers, is arrested for murder. Andy discovers Derek--whose real name is Bobby--is in the witness protection program after giving evidence against his former gang. The police believe Bobby murdered a member. But Bobby swears to Andy he didn't do this. He's built a new life, a new business, has two new dogs after being a double foster-failure. There isn't much Andy likes about this case, but he likes Bobby. If he's innocent, Andy wants to help. Before Andy can settle down for his long winter's nap, he has a client's name to clear, a murderer to catch, and two new dogs to look after: a golden and a Dalmatian. Andy's golden retriever, Tara, will have to adjust to not being the only golden at the house while Andy gets to the bottom of this one...Review Quotes

Another Andy Carpenter audiobook I listened to and it was great. During the Tara Foundations annual Christmas party, one of their best foster volunteers, Derek Moore, is arrested. Andy Carpenter is always reluctant to take on cases because he is "technically" retired but that doesn't mean he does not have a heart of gold. Andy Carpenter decides to help out his friend and takes on the case because he believes he is innocent. Andy Carpenter won't take the case if he does not believe the person is innocent. Andy Carpenter quickly discovers that not only is Derek Moore claiming he did not commit the murder he is charged with but that not all may be what it seems. David Rosenfelt wrote another great book. It was fun to listen to and was filled with mystery, determination, murder (obviously), and even laughter. I found myself laughing so hard at times during this book. The book is read by Grover Gardner who has narrated at least several Andy Carpenter books in the series that I have listened to. I am so glad that he does too. I always enjoy his reads of the books and this is no different. When I listen to Grover Gardener read 'Twas the Bite Before Christmas I am automatically transported into Andy Carpenters world. He brings the story and the characters to life. It's as if you are right there seeing the story unfold in front of your eyes, except your actually hearing it. His voice is so smooth and easy to listen to. I definitely recommend that you pick this audiobook up. Rating: 5 out of 5 Many thanks to Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for this review copy. This is my honest opinion.
