About this listen

"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 Night

Lights, camera, action in bestselling author David Rosenfelt’s Flop Dead Gorgeous, as Andy Carpenter goes bicoastal to prove an old friend’s innocence.

Retired lawyer Andy Carpenter remembers every dog that’s come through the Tara Foundation’s doors, but the most well-known alum of the dog rescue organization that Andy founded in Paterson, New Jersey, may be Mamie. Adopted by famous actress Jenny Nichols—Andy’s high school girlfriend—the miniature French poodle is now practically a starlet in her own right.

Andy doesn’t hold it against his friend. In fact, he and his wife, Laurie, have dinner with Jenny while she’s in town filming her next big hit. But after an eventful meal, there’s a plot twist the next morning that none of them see coming: Jenny’s costar is found dead, a knife in his back. It’s not long before Jenny is arrested for the murder and finds herself in need of Andy’s legal services.

While Mamie becomes reacquainted with Tara, Andy’s golden retriever, Andy digs into the lives of the rich and famous.

Excellent as always

Andy Carpenter stories are an excellent way to spend time. All stories are great. Unlike some series, these get better with each new story. I recommend you start at the beginning

Another winner

As always, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. One of my favorite moments was when Andy was talking to Pete on the phone. Pete could stand Andy's attitude no longer. "Click." I love Andy's flippant sarcasm

Andy Carpenter scores another hit with Flop Dead Gorgeous!

Hats off to author David Rosenfelt and narrator Grover Gardner for another HUGE HIT with Flop Dead Girgeous!! I soo look forward to the Andy Carpenter series that I find myself slowing down the audiobook speed towards the end just to make it last longer! I am devastated when they end! More more more please!!

I am convinced David Rosenfelt is a hilariously dry, clever, witty, self-deprecating and fabulous person after plowing through every single one of his titles! I love the plots, story development & oddball characters along the way! You rock David!! Thanks so soo much for the hours of entertainment over the years! I am truly one of your biggest fans!!

PS: I’m a horse girl with welsh pembroke corgis - their HUGE personalities would be great in your next book!

So good!

Excellent story! Good twists and turns! Love the usual characters! And Grover Gardner’s narration was, as usual, awesome. My only complaint is that it was too short. That is my usual complaint with the Andy Carpenter books. David, can you try for at least ten hours next time?💕

One of the best!

I eagerly await every new Andy Carpenter novel. This one was top notch. I did not figure out who done it nor the motive until it was revealed. I loved how David Rosenfelt was able to incorporate so much current technology and current crime trends into the plot. Grover Gardner as usual was the perfect narrator . Highly recommend this one.

Another great book!

I’ve listened to all of David Rosenfelt’s books and love them all. And Grover Gardner is the icing on the cake. His narration perfects the whole Andy Carpenter package. Can’t wait til the next book.
