![]() Giving dogs a better quality of life is a noble cause, but more often than not Rosenfelt's crusade comes across as self-righteous. To break up the otherwise uneventful account of the cross-country trek, Rosenfelt includes detailed profiles of his dogs, many of which are unintentionally morbid. The author also misses the opportunity to expand on his former career as a movie marketing executive he disparagingly mentions his Hollywood days, but the stories are some of the most compelling in the book, including his work on the Short Circuit sequel and helping Charlton Heston adopt a chow mix. The main character in most of his mystery books is Andy Carpenter. ![]() However, Rosenfelt does not approach planning the journey with a positive frame of mind and complains throughout the trip. David Rosenfelt is an author who has written thirty-three novels and three TV movies.

The first book in the series was Open and Shut published in 2002, followed by 13 titles released every year up to 2015. ![]() He is most famous for the Andy Carpenter series of books that has 14 titles. In addition to writing the Andy Carpenter mystery series, Rosenfelt and his wife, Debbie, share a passion for rescuing dogs from animal shelters. David Rosenfelt eventually gravitated towards the writing of novels where he has become a roaring success.
