  Sometimes a graveside goodbye isn't the end. 
   
   
   
  That's usually when I get a middle of the night phone call. 
   
   
   
  In this case, the person seeking help from their friendly neighborhood reaper is none other than the director of Beechwood's funeral home. 
   
   
   
  Who may be more of a frenemy than a friend. Oops. 
   
   
   
  Here's to hoping I can help rid the funeral home of its latest unwanted guest without burning the last bits of kindling on the bridge back to Karla's good graces. 
   
   
   
  After all, if there's one person you want on your side, it's a summoner of the dead.

  "Listening to Grover Gardner narrating a David Rosenfelt novel is like sliding into favorite slippers at the end of a long day: One feels the joyful gratification of a perfect fit."—AudioFile on Bark of NightThe next installment in David Rosenfelt’s bestselling Andy Carpenter series brings a lone pup to his doorstep, but when it comes to dogs, The More the Terrier.Reluctant lawyer Andy Carpenter is relieved to be headed back to Paterson, New Jersey, after a week-long family vacation in the Adirondacks. He's ready to put the holly jolly season way behind him and settle in at home with his three dogs. But when they finally arrive, there is an extra dog eagerly awaiting them, as well as one anxious dog sitter.When the dog showed up on the doorstep a few days ago, the sitter knew Andy would know what to do. Indeed, Andy recognizes Murphy, who the Carpenters fostered before the dog went home with BJ Bremer and his mother.  BJ wanted to learn all he could about caring for Murphy, which made Andy like him immediately.When Andy goes to take Murphy back to the Bremers, though, instead of the happy reunion he expects, he finds BJ's mother in tears. It turns out Murphy ran off…after BJ was arrested for murder. Andy had hoped for a quiet Christmas vacation, but he likes Murphy’s family and his golden retriever, Tara, likes Murphy, so he can't resist getting involved. The case isn’t as simple as Andy thought it would be, though, with BJ suspected of murdering one of his professors. With nothing to go on but Andy's own conviction in BJ's dog-loving character, proving his innocence would be a Christmas miracle.  With equal doses of doggy humor and courtroom drama, as well as  Andy Carpenter's traditional humbug Christmas spirit, David Rosenfelt delivers another winner.A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

  When the sudden death of Mr. Dashwood leaves his wife and three daughters with a mere pittance, the Dashwood women are unceremoniously forced from the sprawling, wealthy grounds of Norland Park. Thrust into the modest confines of Barton Cottage in Devonshire, sisters Elinor and Marianne must navigate the turbulent waters of nineteenth-century society, where a woman's future depends entirely on making a suitable, advantageous match. 
  But the two eldest sisters could not be more fundamentally opposed in their worldview. Elinor, possessing a profound coolness of judgment, represents Sense—stoically concealing her own heartache to hold her fractured family together. Meanwhile, Marianne embodies Sensibility—romantic, impulsive, and demanding a life lived with unrestrained, soaring passion. 
  As the dashing, mysterious John Willoughby sweeps Marianne off her feet and the honorable but reserved Colonel Brandon waits quietly in the wings, both sisters are tested in ways they never imagined. Through scandalous betrayals, hidden engagements, and the bittersweet pangs of unrequited love, Sense and Sensibility masterfully explores whether it is better to trust the guarded mind or the impulsive heart. Prepare to be enchanted by a timeless masterpiece that explores the depths of sisterly devotion and the unpredictable nature of love.
