Good Dog, Bad Cop

A K Team Novel

By: David Rosenfelt

Narrated by: Fred Berman

"Fred Berman resumes his narration of Rosenfelt's K Team series, lighthearted stories about private investigators and their trusty retired police dog who are hired by the police department of Patterson, New Jersey to solve cold cases. Berman portrays Douglas's street savvy and integrity while showcasing the humor and camaraderie Douglas shares with his team." - AudioFile Magazine on Good Dog, Bad Cop


For the K Team, playing "good dog," "bad cop" is all fun and games...until there's a body on the scene, in the next K Team Novel by bestselling author David Rosenfelt.

The K Team enjoys investigating cold cases for the Paterson Police Department. Corey Douglas, his K-9 partner Simon Garfunkel, Laurie Collins, and Marcus Clark even get to choose which cases they’d like to pursue. When Corey sees the latest list of possibilities, there’s no question which one to look into next.

Corey’s former mentor, Jimmy Dietrich, had his whole identity wrapped up in being a cop. When Jimmy retired three years ago, his marriage quickly deteriorated and he tried–and failed—to get back on the force. Jimmy was left to try to adjust to life as a civilian.

Not long after, two bodies were pulled from the Passaic River. A local woman, Susan Avery, and Jimmy Dietrich. With no true evidence available, the deaths went unsolved and the case declared cold. This didn’t stop the whispers: an affair gone wrong... a murder-suicide committed by Jimmy.

Corey never believed it. With this case, the K Team has the opportunity to find the real murderer, and clear Jimmy’s name. Bestselling author David Rosenfelt returns in Good Dog, Bad Cop, where there’s little to go on, but that won’t stop Paterson, New Jersey’s favorite private investigators from sniffing out the truth.

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

Critic reviews

Advance Praise for Good Dog, Bad Cop

“Appealing. . . The complicated, fair play mystery presents just the right amount of difficulty for the keen-eyed reader to solve.” –Publishers Weekly

Praise for David Rosenfelt and The K Team novels

"The K Team makes a strong companion to Rosenfelt’s ongoing series and it should be fighting crime for many novels." —Associated Press

“Corey serves as an investigator and narrator every bit as ebullient as Andy and a lot more diligent . . . If you liked Rosenfelt's rollicking previous series, you'll like this one too.” — Kirkus Reviews

All the good dogs

This book gives you more time in the Tara/Simon universe. What could be better?
This book also develops side characters, like Pete Stanton. Another credit well spent

Intriguing

Follow the cases closely, don’t forget a single clue! You will need the clues through the twists and turns to a climatic finish that you could not predict! Awesome book! Keep up the good work Simon!

Fun characters, great reader/actor

This is similar in layout to the Andy Carpenter books- a spin off with a different focus. Enjoyable with some twists.

Feed the dog adequately please!

Please stop feeding Simon Garfunkel vegetables!! A k9 cop dog should be eating raw everything!!
Other than that loved it!!

Narrator Too Snarky, Poor Character Representing

With a more positive and humorous tone this series would be enjoyable. The relationship between Andy and Louri is not voiced in the way their relationship is portrayed in Ansy Carpenter series.

Will Wheaton or Ray Porter or Ray Panthaki would grasp the characters well.

The story is a great mystery but I just couldn't get past the narrator reading likes in a sparky or sarcastic tone that were not meant to be read that way. The main Character, Cory comes off as annoying and unpleasant.

Sadly I won't be able to enjoy this series unless they add in a better narrator.
