Holy Chow

fullDescription

In Holy Chow, the next mystery from bestselling author David Rosenfelt, the beloved characters—both human and canine—of this fan favorite series are back on the case with the author's trademark wit and humor.
Retired lawyer Andy Carpenter's calling has always been running the Tara Foundation. The dog rescue organization places hundreds of dogs in new homes every year. It's added up to so many dogs and new owners that Andy can't even do the math. But there's one dog—and one owner—Andy will always remember.
About a year ago, Rachel Morehouse came to the foundation looking for a companion. In her sixties and recently widowed, Rachel wanted a senior dog that also needed someone. Andy took a liking to her, Rachel took a liking to Lion, an older Chow Chow, and the rest is history.
That is, until Rachel calls Andy begging for a favor: If Rachel dies, will Andy take care of Lion if her stepson cannot? Andy agrees, no questions asked, and promptly forgets about it... until he receives a call from Rachel's estate to attend her will reading. Which is where he meets Rachel's stepson, Tony, who is promptly arrested for his stepmother's murder. And he wants Andy to prove his innocence.
Andy has continued to learn more about the woman he so greatly admired and the businesses she ran, and holy chow, was this woman impressive. The person who killed her deserves to be held accountable, and if Tony is to be believed, they're still out there. And that possibility is too much for Andy to remain on the sidelines.

     May 1, 2022
     Adopting Lion, an adorable chow, from Paterson lawyer Andy Carpenter's Tara Foundation isn't enough to keep an unassuming billionaire alive. Rachel Morehouse didn't earn all that money herself; she inherited it from her husband, private equity mogul Stanley Wasserman. But once she replaced him as the power behind Wasserman Equities, she began making forward-looking arrangements: asking Andy how he'd feel about taking Lion back if her stepson, Anthony Wasserman, didn't want him; getting better acquainted with Tony, who'd moved to Indiana after feuding with his father years ago; and learning more about how the foundation works. When an autopsy reveals that Rachel died from an injection of potassium chloride, prosecutor Kathryn Strickland, recently arrived from Delaware, assumes the second of these activities, which brought Tony under Rachel's capacious roof for the last three weeks of her life, was to blame. But Andy, suspecting that the third activity was responsible, arranges to have all his usual helpers, from investigator Corey Douglas to the Bubeleh Brigade of seniors, take a long, hard look under the hood of Wasserman Equities. They're still looking when the starting gun begins Tony's trial and Andy has to scramble to hold his own against the unexpectedly sharp and resourceful Strickland. As usual in Andy's recent outings, the courtroom battles involving the two lawyers and the trial judge are a lot more engaging than the mystery of Rachel Morehouse's death, the obligatory large-scale criminal conspiracy, the rapidly escalating body count, or the surprisingly muted conclusion. Still, here's Andy, and over there, in the distance, is yet another dog. What else could you want?

     In Edgar finalist Rosenfelt’s wry 25th Andy Carpenter novel (after 2021’s Best in Show), the semiretired Paterson, N.J., defense attorney arranges for Rachel Morehouse to adopt a Chow Chow through his dog rescue organization, the Tara Foundation. When Rachel suddenly dies, Andy is surprised to learn she ran a multibillion-dollar corporation and left the Tara Foundation $2 million. He attends the reading of the will, where he meets her stepson, Tony, a high school chemistry teacher who had been staying with Rachel as they attempted to build a relationship after the death of Tony’s estranged father. When an autopsy reveals that Rachel was murdered with potassium chloride, the police arrest Tony and charge him with murder. Believing in Tony’s innocence, Andy takes on the case and employs his team of investigators to help mount Tony’s defense. Despite a large cast of recurring characters, Rosenfelt is shrewd about how he showcases each person so that readers new to the series won’t get lost. He also crafts a satisfying mystery with just the right balance of humor, fast-paced dialogue, and well-executed action pieces. This long-running series remains as fresh as ever. Agent: Robin Rue, Writers House.
