In Rosenfelt's winning ninth Andy Carpenter legal thriller (after Dog Tags), Paterson, N.J.'s most reluctant defense attorney agrees to defend recovering drug addict Noah Galloway, who's been arrested for setting a fire six years earlier that killed 26 people. Andy and Noah have two important connections: Noah tried to break into Andy's house about a year before the arson incident, and Noah was the original owner of Tara, Andy's beloved golden retriever. Though Noah remembers nothing about the fire, he tells Andy he's guilty. With Noah resigned to a life behind bars without parole, Andy does his usual sterlingâand amusingâperformance in the courtroom to stall for time. The colorful supporting cast provides some unusual assists: incurable pessimist Hike Lynch starts to look on the bright side; semiliterate Willie Miller decides to write a book; accountant and computer expert Sam Willis becomes a gun-packing field agent for Andy. The zany plot, despite its improbabilities, will keep readers turning the pages.
ONE DOG NIGHT successfully blends murder with a tongue-in-cheek tone, a Rosenfelt specialty. Narrator Grover Gardner immerses listeners in Rosenfelt's story, which is filled with one-liners and zingers that play off of the murders of 26 people. Noah Galloway has known for six years the cops would come someday. Come they do, charging him with the murders. Andy Carpenter, star defense lawyer, cruises through life as heir to a 21-million-dollar nest egg. He agrees to defend Noah, who then promptly confesses his guilt. Gardner is at his best delivering Andy's wiseacre lines and creating just the right feel for the story's New Jersey setting. T.J.M. (c) AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
