#43: Dead Men Don’t Play Fetch by David Rosenfelt. In this installment, Andy Carpenter defends Jason Maddox, a homeless recovering addict accused of murdering a billionaire. Unlike other Carpenter murder mysteries, Andy’s dogs don’t play much of a role, other than being blamed for not insisting he turn down the case. There is one scene in which his golden retriever, Tara, accompanies Andy on a walk to the park when he know that he is bait for a mobster who plans to kill him, but she was never really in much danger. As always, the client is innocent, and as almost always happens, Andy doesn’t figure out who the real killer is until after the trial is over.
