Don Carrigan, a homeless veteran, is attacked in the middle of the night in this latest Andy Carpenter novel by David Rosenfelt. Deck the Hounds has Andy at his best because naturally, there is a dog involved. When Carrigan is attacked, Zoey, his dog, comes to his defense.   In true Carpenter fashion, Andy and Laurie offer the dog and his “person” a place to stay in the apartment over their garage.

Unfortunately, while giving an interview, Andy mentions Carrigan’s name, which opens a whole new can of worms for the unfortunate veteran. He is quickly arrested for a murder that happened two years before, and Andy just as quickly has another case. Carrigan claims that he is innocent and never knew he was a wanted man.

Andy brings the gang together, and the fun begins...for us at least. I found that this book was a little more substantial than the others as the team tracks down clues in their quest to free a man they believe in. Unfortunately, with his DNA at the crime scene and a witness claiming that he confessed, Andy’s house-guest is in a great deal of trouble.

The reader should quickly figure out that there is some sort of set-up going on and then have fun watching Andy come to the same conclusion. The excitement builds and never disappoints as the humorous interchange between characters keeps the reader entertained. I enjoyed watching Andy grow emotionally, as a father and husband, and hope that there are several more Carpenter books in Rosenfelt’s future.
