About this listen

From the internationally best-selling author of My Lovely Wife and He Started It comes a twisted, entertaining novella about a dog walker swept into a criminal investigation when her client winds up dead.

Shelby works as a dog walker in northern California, and she’s just finished up her bi-weekly trip to the park with a husky named Pluto. When she brings him back to his house, she finds his owner - Todd Burke, a well-known local businessman and founder of an organic supplements company - lying on the bathroom floor, dead. A detective arrives on the scene. As she interviews Shelby, the body is inspected by a medical examiner, and more cops search Todd’s home, it becomes clear that the victim’s life was less picture-perfect than his clean-cut persona might lead you to believe.

At just over 2 hours long this packs a lot in. As a dog lover and crime thriller addict I was in heaven and this little novella had enough twists to keep me happy, and with a VERY satisfying ending!. I'd love to see a full length novel featuring the detective.

Excellent narration too. Perfect if you have a couple of spare hours!
