Story
When defense lawyer Andy Carpenter’s veterinarian asks to speak to him privately at the checkup of his golden retriever, Tara, the last thing Andy expects is Truman. Tiny, healthy French bulldog Truman was dropped off days ago with instructions to be euthanized by a man everyone thought was his owner. But now the owner is nowhere to be found. But that’s not all the vet tells Andy. Thanks to Truman’s chip, it’s discovered that the man wasn’t Truman’s owner at all.... Truman's real owner was murdered.

Story
Defense lawyer Andy Carpenter is reluctant to take on more cases. He’d rather spend his time working for his dog rescue organization. However, when a truck carrying more than 70 dogs from the South to the Northeast turns up with a murdered driver, Andy can’t help but get involved. Andy is eager to help the dogs, but it’s the man accused of murder who he has a problem defending. The accused happens to be his wife Laurie’s ex-fiance. Even though he acknowledges having argued with the victim, he swears that he is not a killer, and Andy has to admit he believes he's telling the truth.

Story
Lawyer Andy Carpenter's true passion is the Tara Foundation, the dog rescue organization he runs with his friend Willie Miller. All kinds of dogs make their way to the foundation, and it isn't that surprising to find a dog abandoned at the shelter one morning, though it was accompanied by a mysterious anonymous note. But they are quite surprised when they scan the dog's embedded chip, and discover that they know this dog. He is the "DNA dog".

Story
Andy Carpenter isn't sure what to think when he gets a mysterious phone call from a good friend, policeman Pete Stanton, asking him to drop everything, drive to an unfamiliar address, and bring his girlfriend, Laurie Collins. He certainly isn't expecting to show up at a crime scene. But that's exactly where he arrives - at the house where Pete has just discovered the body of ex-convict Danny Balfour. Upstairs are Danny's now orphaned four-year-old son and basset hound. And that, Andy discovers, is why he and Laurie were called to the scene - Pete wants them to take care of the boy and the dog so they won't get thrown into the "system". This is already asking a lot, but soon Pete needs another big favor from Andy. Pete himself has come under suspicion for Danny's murder, and he needs defense attorney Andy to represent him - and to find out what really happened in Danny's house that day!

Story
Christmas has come early to the town of Paterson, New Jersey, in the form of a snowstorm that dumps two feet of snow on the ground. Lawyer Andy Carpenter likes snow – white Christmas and all that – but it can cause problems for the walks he takes his dogs on every day. When Andy’s golden retriever, Tara, goes to play in the snow and instead discovers a body, Andy ends up on the phone with the local newspaper editor. The murder victim is Mayor Alex Oliva, who had an infamous relationship with the newspaper.
Written by: David Rosenfelt
Publisher's Summary
This Christmas mystery, featuring criminal defense lawyer Andy Carpenter and his faithful golden retriever, Tara, showcases Rosenfelt’s trademark humor and larger-than-life characters.
Reluctant lawyer Andy Carpenter doesn’t usually stop to help others, but seeing a dog next to a homeless man inspires him to give the pair some money to help. It’s just Andy’s luck that things don’t end there. Soon after Andy’s encounter with them, man and dog are attacked in the middle of the night on the street. The dog defends its new owner, and the erstwhile attacker is bitten but escapes. But the dog is quarantined, and the man, Don Carrigan, is heartbroken.
Andy’s wife, Laurie, can’t resist helping the duo after learning Andy has met them before...it’s the Christmas season, after all. In a matter of days, Don and his dog, Zoey, are living above Andy’s garage and become two new additions to the family. It’s not until Andy accidentally gives away his guest’s name during an interview that things go awry; turns out Don is wanted for a murder that happened two years ago. Don not only claims he’s innocent, but that he had no idea he was wanted for a crime he has no knowledge of in the first place. It’s up to Andy to exonerate his new friend, if he doesn’t get pulled into the quagmire first.
David Rosenfelt’s signature wit, charm, and cleverness are back again in this most exciting installment yet.

A terrific story with a logic problem
I thoroughly enjoy the Andy Carpenter novels, and this one was no exception. Grover Gardner's narration really makes the books come to life. However, Rosenfelt has boxed himself into a corner with the series, and has created a Perry Mason problem. Andy Carpenter is a rich criminal-defense lawyer, who can afford to take only cases where he believes the defendant is wrongly accused. (I think there has only been one book where he defended someone who turned out to be guilty—Perry Mason at least lost two cases.) Many of Carpenter's cases receive heavy press coverage. He has even thwarted terrorist attacks. In addition, the head police detective in his area is one of his best friends. So if he decides to represent someone, at this point, wouldn't the police and prosecutors be saying, "We need to investigate this more thoroughly. We probably have the wrong perp, and we'll lose our jobs if Carpenter keeps making us look incompetent." But that never happens. It defies logic, and it's giving the novels a deus ex machina feeling. I really enjoy these books, so I really want Rosenfeldt to shake up the formula.

It concerns me that David Rosenfelt doesn’t remember he killed off Joseph Russo in “OutFoxed” book # 14
Other than this disconcerting fact. The story was good and Grover Gardner did an excellent job narrating .. please Mr Rosenfelt. Keep track of your characters.

Deck The Hounds
I love this book! It was really good. I had low expectations for this book. (I've never heard of the series or the author) I wanted to try it because I love mystery books and Christmas. So I thought I'd give this a try. I'm excited to try the rest of the book series. This book reminds me of the Guido Brunetti mystery series by Donna Leon. I feel like Deck The Hounds has similar writing. So if you liked the Guido Brunetti series and Christmas I think you'd like this book a lot.

I like the Tara series. No not a dog person - Allergic. I am owned by a cat who sleeps on my head. The books are a bit "out there," but are easy to listen to. A bit unbelievable but enjoyable.

Fun But predictable
Andy Carpenter...Rich, lazy and cowardly lawyer who dashes in to save the day. I like him a lot, but the books are very predictable... but the characters are great. I am a dog lover, but Rosenfelt goes too far with it. If you love dogs, Andy Carpenter is your friend. If you don't like them, then you're a bum. Ridiculous!
But, they are entertaining and light-hearted stories and I will continue to read them

Good Listen But Not David Rosenfeld’s Best Work
This was a good listen as all David Rosenfelt/Andy Carpenter books are. With that being said, this was not David Rosenfelt’s best work. The story was a little more confusing towards the end and harder to follow than some of his other books in this series.
