Best Andy Carpenter Books

Open and Shut: One of the best performing books in this series is Open and Shut. Open and Shut is a type of case where the evidence presented to the judiciary is so incontrovertible such that the accused is convicted without any hesitation. However, what happens when such as case has a crack? Is it possible that a person could be wrongly convicted even if the evidence against them is exceedingly overwhelming? This is exactly the kind of situation that Andy Carpenter was facing. Andy Carpenter’s father was a well-respected district attorney, who had just retired, asks Andy Carpenter to handle the appeal case of one Willie Miller, who had been in prison for more than seven years and had been awaiting execution for the ruthless killing of a young female reporter.

His father had been the prosecution attorney in the preceding case; thus it was exceedingly strange for him to ask Andy to become the defense attorney. However, a few days after making this request Andy’s father passes away. This in turn meant, Andy did not find out the main reason why his father asked him to preside over the case. After the dead of his father, Andy finds out that he has become an exceedingly rich man. He had inherited more than 22 million dollars that he had never thought existed. Furthermore, he also finds out that there was a 2 million dollar deposit, which his father had not touched before. Throughout the years, the 2 million deposit, eventually grew into the fortune that Andy is going to inherit. This mystery further deepens, when Andy finds a photograph, which was taken so many years ago. This was a photo of a group of men, and one of the men in the photograph was his father.

From the word go, Andy feels that the photograph has something to do with the 2 million deposit made to his father’s account and even possibly something to do the case that was given to him by his father. With that said, Andy is an exceedingly great character. He is not only irreverent, but he is also sarcastic, an excellent attorney and an extremely wise person. The strategies that Andy displays in the courtroom are exceptional. You will fall in love with Open and Shut.
