About this listen

Andy Carpenter isn't sure what to think when he gets a mysterious phone call from a good friend, policeman Pete Stanton, asking him to drop everything, drive to an unfamiliar address, and bring his girlfriend, Laurie Collins. He certainly isn't expecting to show up at a crime scene. But that's exactly where he arrives - at the house where Pete has just discovered the body of ex-convict Danny Balfour. Upstairs are Danny's now orphaned four-year-old son and basset hound. And that, Andy discovers, is why he and Laurie were called to the scene - Pete wants them to take care of the boy and the dog so they won't get thrown into the "system". This is already asking a lot, but soon Pete needs another big favor from Andy. Pete himself has come under suspicion for Danny's murder, and he needs defense attorney Andy to represent him - and to find out what really happened in Danny's house that day!

Another great story by DR - I’m working my way through all his books on audible. Each story and Oly better than the last one. And I need my fix of Grover Gardener - great narrator weaving in the wisecracks and tension in equal measure …. If you haven’t yet been introduced to Andy Carpenter then do yourself a favour and grab the first book Open & Shut and work your way through the series - they are a joy to behold.

What did you like most about Hounded?

The characters, the dog references and legal background

What did you like best about this story?

As with all the Andy Carpenter series, this is a good story with beginning, middle and ending.

What does Grover Gardner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Grover Gardener does the Andy Carpenter character very well. Having listened to several books in this series, I can almost believe that he IS Andy Carpenter.

Great book for a journey
