Lawyer Andy Carpenter’s true passion is the Tara Foundation, the dog rescue organization he runs with his friend Willie Miller. All kinds of dogs make their way to the foundation, and it isn’t that surprising to find a dog abandoned at the shelter one morning, though it was accompanied by a mysterious anonymous note. But they are quite surprised when they scan the dog’s embedded chip, and discover that they know this dog. He is the “DNA dog.” Two and a half years ago, Jill Hickman was a single mother of an adopted baby. Her baby and dog were kidnapped in broad daylight in Eastside Park, and they haven’t been seen since. A tip came in that ID’d a former boyfriend of Hickman’s, Keith Wachtel, as the kidnapper. A search of his house showed no sign of the child but did uncover more incriminating evidence, and the clincher that generated Wachtel’s arrest was some dog hair, notable since Wachtel did not have a dog. DNA tests showed conclusively that the hair belonged to Hickman’s dog. Wachtel was convicted of kidnapping, but the dog and baby were never found. Now, with the reappearance of the dog, the case is brought back to light, and the search for the child renewed. Goaded by his wife’s desire to help a friend and fellow mother and Andy’s desire to make sure the real kidnapper is in jail, Andy and his team enter the case. But what they start to uncover is far more complicated and dangerous than they ever expected, in David Rosenfelt's Collared.

A good read, written in a spare, direct style. The author deftly develops the characters, even making minor ones believable. He is especially good at capturing dialogue. I was hearing in my mind the voices of the characters within the first page or two.

This is yet another great installment of the Andy Carpenter series! A kidnapped dog and infant lie at the heart of this case and as usual the scope of the plot takes some surprising twists and turns! A quick read that leaves me excited to start the next book in the series!! #DogsOfLitsy

This one feels more like it‘s gone back to the formula I like. I hope to read more in the future, as he did mail in his forms.

I was smiling and laughing (and getting cute side glances from my husband) within the first few pages of this book. So far it's been a good, easy read.

"She asks me to hold while she goes to find it. It takes a few minutes, during which Laurie asks me what's going on. 'She's trying to find the address,' I say. 'She's a big fan.'

'She's an address fan?' Laurie asks.

'No, a Carpenter fan, of the Andy variety. She worships me.'

Laurie shakes her head. 'That is one strange cult.' "

Had a 10-hour drive back from vacation yesterday, made bearable with Andy Carpenter's snark and Grover Gardner's voice to bring it to life. I always enjoys these listens - they aren't complex, but you can't figure them out either. Plus, author David Rosenfelt's Facebook posts crack me up. It's the wit, I tell ya! And I don't even like dogs!
