David Rosenfelt

 Have I ever asked you if you've read him?

He writes novels about an on-again, off-again lawyer named Andy Carpenter. Carpenter inherited a fortune and doesn't like to go to court, but he pays his staff and gets roped into mysteries, mostly involving dogs.

Carpenter is co-owner of an animal rescue place called 'Tara's place' after one of his dogs.

I love dogs and dogs in books, so I'm a real Rosenfelt fan.

Try him out.

Especially if you love dogs.
