This is Andy Carpenters third New Jersey lawyer-comedy and it is fun with a few plot twists to keep things interesting. Andy is aided by his girlfriend (and PI) Laurie Collins and hypochondriac Kevin Randall, a fellow lawyer. As always, Tara, the golden retriever, is part of the scene.

Daniel Cummings, a local reporter, has been chosen by a serial killer to announce his successes to the police and his readers. Unfortunately for Daniel, he becomes the main serial killer suspect when the police find out that Daniels wife was murdered a few years earlier.

One of Andys friends asks him to defend Daniel and of course Andy is reluctant. Eventually, Andy and his team are convinced of Daniels innocence and accept the case.

This is a short, lightweight novel with a casual style; Andy doesnt take life (or himself) too seriously. 3.5 stars
