Praise for David Rosenfelt and the K Team series

"Corey serves as an investigator and narrator every bit as ebullient as Andy and a lot more diligent . . . If you liked Rosenfelt's rollicking previous series, you'll like this one too." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Rosenfelt smoothly mixes humor with a sharp plot and appealing characters. This series deserves a long run." -- Publishers Weekly

"Fans of the "Andy Carpenter" series will find much to enjoy here, including some cameos from Carpenter himself." --Library Journal

"The K Team makes a strong companion to Rosenfelt's ongoing series and it should be fighting crime for many novels." --Associated Press

"A second outing for Paterson's preeminent investigators ensnares one of their own members in uncomfortable ways. . . Though the case is a hot mess, the criminals' sublimely simple central concept is worth all those subsidiary homicides." -- Kirkus Reviews on Animal Instinct
