Blurb:
From bestselling mystery author
David Rosenfelt comes a new series – a spinoff of the much beloved Andy
Carpenter mysteries – about a dynamic new investigative team featuring a
determined former cop and his loyal German Shepherd.
Corey
Douglas and his K-9 partner, Simon Garfunkel, have recently retired from the
police force. Not ready to give up the life yet, they come up with a proposal
for fellow former cop, Laurie Carpenter, and her investigating partner, Marcus.
Laurie and Marcus – who help out Laurie’s lawyer husband Andy on cases – have
been chafing to jump back into investigating on their own, so they are in.
They
call themselves the K Team, in honor of Simon. Their first job as private
investigators comes to them from Judge Henry Henderson, who's known as a very
tough but fair judge, and they've all come up against him in court at one time
or another. Though it's hard to believe, Judge Henderson is being blackmailed
and extorted, and he doesn't want to involve the police--he needs the K Team to
figure out why.
My review:
When I
picked up this book I’d no idea what to expect. I haven’t read the Andy
Carpenter mysteries that this is spun off from. That being said I really
enjoyed this story. It took me a bit to warm up to Corey Douglas mostly because
of his inner monologue about his girlfriend. But I pushed through and really
enjoyed solving the mystery with the K Team. This was a convoluted case filled with
red herrings galore and tricky bad guys. I really had to work hard to figure it
out. By the end I was entranced and look forward to the next installment.
