  • Listening experience: breezy and cozy — perfect holiday background listen
  • Narration: Gardner's steady, wry delivery suits Andy's deadpan lawyer voice well
  • Skip if: you need high stakes tension or series-fresh storytelling

About This Audiobook

Andy Carpenter and his wife Laurie have started a Christmas tradition: the pet store tree, where wishes hang like ornaments. One wish stops Andy cold: Danny's letter asks Santa only for a coat for his mother, a sweater for his dachshund Murphy, and for his missing father to come home safely. The father, it turns out, was arrested for a murder that occurred fourteen years ago, a murder Danny's mother swears he did not commit. Andy, allergic to both pro bono work and Christmas sentiment, takes the case anyway. The twentieth Andy Carpenter mystery delivers Rosenfelt's signature blend of legal maneuvering and genuine warmth.

Grover Gardner has narrated the Andy Carpenter series for its entire run, and his performance has the comfortable authority of long partnership with a beloved character. His dry delivery of Andy's self-deprecating humor is perfectly calibrated, and the holiday atmosphere is present without being oppressive. At under seven hours, Dachshund Through the Snow is an ideal audiobook for the season: funny, plot-efficient, and genuinely heartwarming.
