Bark Humbug (Andy Carpenter #34) Release Date: October 13, 2026

Coming Soon

Reluctant lawyer Andy Carpenter helps a desperate sister investigate the widely publicized murder of a gubernatorial candidate in Bark Humbug, the latest Christmas mystery in David Rosenfelt’s bestselling series.

This time, Andy is serious about retiring. Besides, he can’t hear the sound of his phone ringing over the football game. But when the local newspaper asks him to participate in their Christmas spread of local celebrities and their dogs, he pauses the game and brings Tara along for the ride.

When the photographer comes to take pictures of him and the dogs, he instead opens the door to Sharon Lowery, who devised the newspaper story just to get Andy’s attention and beg him for help. Her brother, Jon, is wanted for murder and is on the run. However, if Andy agrees to hear Jon out, he’ll turn himself in with the hope that Andy will represent him and reunite him with his dog.

It’s a dangerous situation, and between the media circus surrounding the murder and Jon’s volatile position, Andy knows that when Jon is found, someone could get hurt. But Andy respects Sharon’s dedication to her brother, and in an effort to keep Jon–and the public–safe, Andy agrees to talk to Jon. Andy decides to help Jon and slowly uncovers a web of conspiracies. Determined to keep Jon out of jail, Andy gathers the crew to investigate.

David Rosenfelt returns with Andy Carpenter’s classic disdain for Christmas but love for dogs and justice.
