Summary
His streak of murder case acquittals made him a regular on cable talk shows. His recent $22 million inheritance bought him a dog rescue operation named the Tara Foundation after his own beloved golden retriever. Yet after turning down cases left and right, Andy Carpenter thinks he's facing a midlife crisis.
When a friend, a newspaper owner, calls in a favor and asks him to protect his star reporter, Andy is less than thrilled. His new client is Daniel Cummings, a journalist who is being used as a mouthpiece by a brutal serial killer. Things only get worse when Daniel is discovered near the body of the murderer's latest victim. And after Andy himself starts collecting anonymous death threats, he hears the news every defense lawyer dreads...and moves to within a dangerous keystroke of becoming tomorrow's obituary.
Critic reviews
"The real charm of this series lies in the wit of its affable narrator, who is not about to let an ongoing capital trial keep him from walking his beloved golden retriever, betting the point spread, or losing on the stock market. Add to this a likable supporting cast and a low-key love interest, and you have the legal-thriller genre's waggish rejoinder to Anthony Bruno and Janet Evanovich. A sure bet." ( Booklist)

Great. Please cut the music :)
Just discovered this series and thoroughly enjoying them. Grim crimes but not over-grisly, and a genuinely interesting, clever, funny and hopeless hero. Great balance between the streets, the relationships in Andy's growing 'family' of friends, and the drama in court. Although you know it will all work out in the end, the detailed twists and turns on the legal side are convincing and fascinating. Please God remove the god-awful 30 seconds of 80's synth music at the start and end of chapters. Pointless and irritating beyond words :)
