Three top opening paragraphs of English fiction, read wonderfully by top-flight narrators, can be heard right here on AudioPod. Even if the book as a whole wouldn't interest you, DO listen to the samples of:
hey beej -- thanx for being such a gr8t sister. had a wonderful day. delited to be part of the audiopod library -- FINALLY!
Hi, looks like it will be pretty cool. Woof Woof...
Grover Gardner is the same narrator who did another book I reviewed (The Cask of Amontillado), but this is the first David Rosenfelt / Grover Gardner combination I have heard. His voice is so PERFECT for the way this Northern New Jersey lawyer was written. Even the Acknowledgments at the end are so very Andy Carpenter. And the hook of the golden retriever angle is great. I would recommend it to both Trial Junkies, and Dog Lovers. I can't wait to start the other

It may not be narrated by a Vincent-Price-y voice, but Grover Gardner definitely pulls off a suitably creepy performance, as much by the fact that he doesn't over-play or make a parody of the insanity of the narrating character. They understood subtlety so much better back then ...

I read the book itself back in my 20's (the size is on par with an unabridged Count of Monte Cristo). It is fantastic both to be listening to a voice worthy of the text, but also to be able to "get my reading fix" while still making advances on the housework front (washing dishes and so forth)
