- David Rosenfelt is an author who has written nineteen novels and three TV movies. His main character in most of his mystery books is Andy Carpenter, attorney and dog lover.
Rosenfelt graduated from New York University and then decided to work in the movie business. After being interviewed by his uncle, who was the President of United Artists, he was hired and worked his way up the corporate culture. Rosenfelt eventually became the marketing president for Tri-Star Pictures. He married and had two children during this period.
Rosenfelt left the corporate industry and wrote screenplays for movies and television. He turned to writing novels and has become quite successful in that genre. In 1995, he and his wife started the "Tara Foundation" which has saved almost 4,000 dogs. He is a dog lover and supports more than two dozen dogs.
Rosenfelt, a dog lover and who worked with many lawyers in his occupation, created a character, Andy Carpenter, an attorney who faces corporate cultures and who is a dog lover.
Rosenfelt books run in the low to mid 300 pages with 15 basic beats and about 40 scenes fairly consistent with movie and television formats.

Andy Carpenter, independently wealthy and his wife, Laurie, a retired member of the police department, operate the Tara Foundation for rescue dogs. Surrounded by a support system of colorful characters to assist, Andy takes on occasional legal cases when he thinks the accused is innocent.
Shockingly, six people at a Paterson, NJ law office are murdered by a masked intruder. Two people escaped unscathed and both identify the killer as someone who worked there doing odd jobs. When Andy’s trusted friend, the almost superhuman Marcus, asks him to take on the case, Andy isn’t sure about it. As he learns more about the accused, he realizes that he is indeed innocent and the murders may have something to do with some nefarious dealings at the firm.
The book has a decent, well paced plot. What I really enjoyed was the humor spread throughout the book, especially Andy’s snarky wit. This is a book that is a mystery, legal thriller, and comedic. What more could you ask?
As an aside, for those unfamiliar with David Rosenfelt…in real life he and his wife do have a Tara Foundation for rescue dogs. They have rescued thousands of dogs. How can you not love this author?
