Critic reviews

• 2005 Publishers Weekly Listen Up Award, Mystery/Thriller

"A cracking good yarn." (Booklist)
"Edgar-finalist Rosenfelt scores another touchdown with his fourth Andy Carpenter novel and proves he's in the game to stay." (Publishers Weekly)

Light, Easy, Entertaining

Even though the Andy Carpenter series runs a common theme, I have not gotten bored with them. I try to alternate reading fiction and non-fiction, classic and contemporary. When my brain is filled with the stresses of real life, this is a good choice, in between the heavies of other literary choices. You will not be dissapointed. He is humorous and not predictable. And the narration is great!

Interesting and fun

Good story line and not predictable. Love the characters. Want to read the series. Best substitute for Robert B Parker!

My New Favorite Author

If you could sum up Sudden Death in three words, what would they be?

I will now listen to every book David has ever written. His sense of humor has me laughing out loud and has me repeating his quips to friends and others. The plots and twists are often predictable but the characters interactions make listening an absolute delight.
I have recommend his books to several friends and they all agree, he's one of the best!

Solid mystery, loads of fun

The writing is perfect for audio: plenty of dialogue tags and clues about time, place, and POV. The story is well done, no plot holes, but the bad guy was apparent due to a process of elimination. Still, we’ll worth the time invested.

Wish this was unabridged

This is really terrific in every aspect, except that I missed whatever was left out of the abridged version. I was determined to mark my rating down because only the abridged version was available, but I can't. It's too good.

So if you can. get the book and read it. If like me, you really need the audio version, get this in spite of the abridgment.
