On Borrowed Time by David Rosenfelt


On Borrowed Time by David Rosenfelt

His biography says he lives with his wife and 27 Golden Retrievers something
I who have had, once and only once, 14 dogs (mostly rescue waiting to be adopted) have a hard time imagining.

That aside and having initially being attracted to his previous books because the dog was an essential part of the story. I enjoyed this dogless tale. This is a scary tale of Richard Kilmer who thinks he lost his true love in an automobile accident, only no one else in his life knows anything about her.

Can memories be implanted from the outside?

This was an interesting night's read. Hope you also enjoy it.

Tara, the dog and Andy Carpenter, the lawyer


New Tricks is the latest in a series of books about Andy Carpenter and his special Golden Retriever, Tara. Starting with "Open and Shut" you too can indulge in his easy, interesting, self-deprecating, dogwise, lawyering mysteries that take place in the Paterson, New Jersey area. The main character reminds me of a lawyer I know, especially the sports on television part. These books are definitely better than most television shows, fairly inciteful and generally entertaining. They are available through our catalog. Enjoy!
