'Twas the Bite Before Christmas Audiobook

In bestselling author David Rosenfelt’s ‘Twas the Bite Before Christmas, all through the Carpenter house, five dogs are stirring, and not even Andy can get out of working this next courtrrom case.

Reluctant lawyer Andy Carpenter is at the Tara Foundation’s annual Christmas party. The dog rescue organization has always been his true calling, and this is one holiday tradition he can get behind because every dog that’s come through the rescue—and their families—are invited to celebrate.

This year’s party is no exception. But before the stockings can be hung by the chimney with care, homicide detectives ruin the evening. Derek Moore, one of the foundation’s best foster volunteers, is arrested for murder.

Andy discovers that Derek, whose real name is Bobby, is in the witness protection program after giving evidence against his former gang. The police believe Bobby murdered a gang member. But Bobby swears to Andy he didn’t do this. He has built a new life, a new business, and has two new dogs after being a double “foster-failure.”

There isn’t much Andy likes about this case, but he likes Bobby. If he’s innocent, Andy wants to help. Before Andy can settle down for his long winter’s nap, he has a client’s name to clear, a murderer to catch, and two new dogs to look after: a golden retriever and a Dalmatian. Andy’s golden retriever, Tara, will have to adjust to not being the only golden in the house while Andy gets to the bottom of this one.

“Andy is certain that the two murders are connected, but can he persuade a jury—assuming that prosecutor Stan Godfrey will even let him introduce the evidence connecting them? As usual, the courtroom scenes shine.”
