Silent Bite (Andy Carpenter #22)

I love the Andy Carpenter books. I read and reread them, listen and rel-isten to them. The books are delightful, funny, clever, usually at least an acceptable plot – but the characters are the main thing. I like them all and can read about them endlessly. And then there\’s Grover Gardner, as soon as his voice comes on, I\’m happy. So, why 3 stars for this one? It\’s just not very good, that\’s why. I don\’t know how it got that way, but it did. Because I could listen to Grover Gardner voicing Andy and the gang endlessly, I gave the performance 5 stars, and listened to the whole thing, even when I realized it had a dreadful and hard to follow plot, David must have gotten a bump from his publisher, or needed some money for something – probably worthwhile, he\’s a great guy – but that really isn\’t an excuse. Next time, please take some extra time, we\’re rooting for you and we want to like every Andy Carpenter book you write. Given any chance we will. may you bring these wonderful characters to life every so often, you light up our lives when you do.

What I love about Andy Carpenter is still the same since the first book. Just that there is less of it in this book. There were never plots in these books which we would want to share with friends and relatives. It was humor and characters. Human or dogs. All amazing. Since Andy has been married, his sense of humor has deteriorated, his urge to get his wife in bed with him does not involve the amazing madness, Tera is not around as much and nor is the Editor and Police Captain. These were the prime drivers and I think they should be present with Marcus. I think these characters which we have expanded to are pointless. The core team was awesome. We do not need a K team! So David, make it more funny, and let\’s stick to the stuff which always works! As for this book, Andy Carpenter fans, they will go for it irrespective of what I say. If you have not heard of Andy Carpenter before this, skip this and find the first in the series. This will not be a good start.

Never a disappointment! Thank you,David Rosenfelt, for another great story. And thank you, Glover Gardner, for another outstanding performance… you truly breathe life into David Rosenfelt\’s characters. It\’s a perfect combination. For anyone who has a vision impairment (or a loved one with a vision impairment), & can no longer enjoy \”reading\”… this series is an absolute God send. I\’m not visually impaired, but I have 2 family members who are. If you haven\’t purchased an Andy Carpenter audiobook yet, you\’re missing out! I own every single audiobook in the series & can\’t wait for the next.

Great story, Andy is so funny! Grover Gardner is an amazing narrator! Can’t wait for the next one.

Great story. Enjoy the characters. Thank you for the new story. One of my favorite readers too!
