Thru My Looking Glass

​Happy New Year to All

May 2021 be happy and healthy for us all. May we all protect each other and beat this virus without worrying about politics. May our politicians learn to compromise, and may we learn to accept our neighbors even if we disagree with their views. John Lennon said it better than I can, so today I leave you with this :

"Imagine"
(from "Imagine: John Lennon")

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... You...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Now go grab a chuckle with David Rosenfelt’s newest book, Silent Bite.

As always a complete review of this book follows my blog.

Happy reading,

- Beverly

Silent Bite: An Andy Carpenter Mystery by David Rosenfelt

Genre: Mystery

It is no secret that I have enjoyed David Rosenfelt’s series featuring attorney Andy Carpenter, and I am particularly pleased that he has written two a year over the last few years. The second book each year loosely follows a holiday theme, and since Andy’s wife Laurie believes that Christmas should be celebrated for four months each year, Andy has plenty of festive time to work out his mysteries. Silent Bite is the twenty-second Andy Carpenter mystery, so it stands to reason that there is nothing shockingly new in this tale.

Most people read for knowledge, excitement or comfort. I find that this series gives me a bit of excitement and a great deal of comfort. It is a bit like Thanksgiving, where I am surrounded by a lot of familiar people who make me laugh, and I just never know what is going to happen next. Rosenfelt feels most comfortable dealing in sarcasm where Andy is concerned, and that makes me happy. His other characters; Laurie, Edna, Marcus, Willie, Sam, Hike, Corey and the newest member of his firm, Eddie, play off of Andy perfectly as each mystery unfolds. Each book in the series introduces another dog or two, but Tara will always be number one in Andy’s (and my) heart.

In Silent Bite Willie asks Andy to help out his former cell mate who has been arrested for murder. Andy is reluctant to do so because he would much rather be retired (he is independently wealthy so money is no issue) but has trouble saying no to Willie.  The more the team investigates, the more it feels like his client is being set up, and Andy uses all of his power and wit to find out the truth.

Once again this book is a perfect opportunity for the reader to spend the holidays with old friends.
