Another fast-paced Rosenfelt mystery. In this story, attorney Andy Carpenter is assisting Pups, a crusty old woman, in her zoning fight against the city, to make an allowance for the puppies she helps save and find homes for regularly. Andy is successful in the process, but when the person who filed the complaint against Pups is found dead, she's charged with his murder.Enough weird evidence comes up that Andy is sure that Pups has been framed. Pups is already close to death from cancer, but insists she wants to clear her name, so Andy's team pores through boxes and boxes of papers, making lists of properties that Pups's dead husband owned and which others had been eager to buy, with no success. They seem to fit into the frame-up. Andy's computer guru hacks into phone records to find additional information to help clear Pups's name. Meanwhile, twelve puppies and their mother, who had been in Pups's care were being taken care of by another of Andy's colleagues, while she's in jail, awaiting trial.
I suspect Andy's somewhat unhumble (although entertaining) personality mirrors that of the author as when Andy encounters his wife reading "a thriller by David Rosenfelt, one of the great writers of our time"!
