A Very Good "Read"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I "discovered" David Rosenfelt a few months ago. I have now read every book that he has published and am eagerly waiting for more. I especially enjoy his sense of humor which is evident throughout his novels. This one is a quick read and a good page-turner.
A whopping good read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I'm not quite certain why, but I keep seeing shades of Robert Parker in Rosenfelt's books. Perhaps because Andy is quick with a quip and Rosenfelt writes very good dialogue. Perhaps because Andy loves his dog and thinks it's the most perfect dog in the universe, even though it's not quite as annoying as Spencer's Pearl the Wonder Dog. Perhaps because Andy has a serious love interest to whom he's not married, although, happily, Laura doesn't have any of Susan's annoying characteristics. But Rosenfelt is no imitation and definitely stands on his own. He has created some great characters and yet isn't afraid to kill off important characters. He knows how to balance humor and tension. The tone of the book is light, but it contains a whopping good, unpredictable mystery. I've really been enjoying this series and am really looking forward to continuing with the series.
Mr. Rosenfelt has done it again!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I have read all of Mr. Rosenfelt's books and I must say he has become one of my favorite authors. I was in the process of moving when this book came out, so I had to wait to read it, and it was well worth the wait. I thought I had the story figured out, a couple of times, but I was wrong both times. I also must say, I spend a lot of time laughing out loud when I read Mr. Rosenfelt's books. So pick this up, read and enjoy. I look forward to the next one.
Another Great Fun Read from David Rosenfelt!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Read David's first two books and couldn't wait for this one! Just finished it last night, and am happy to say it's another winner from this fun writer. I really enjoy his witty style of writing & dialogue, and can't read thru the pages fast enough to get to the next plot twists & turns. I highly recommend the book - it's the perfect poolside/beachside read...or for the long flight to wherever you're going. Bonus - you'll probably find yourself trying to "song-talk" too!
