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.

Nice little mystery. I really loved it-only the end was a bit of a downer. The first person narration was brilliant.

Interesting whodunnit

There were momentary moments of thrill and suspense. The plot is predictable at times, but feels unsatisfying when you know the ending. Narration is its strongest point.

Predictable yet thrilling

I don’t know how she manages to bring it every time! But she BRINGS IT. Couldn’t not have been more engrossed in a short story. Crazier storyline than many books manage to pull

it's an extremely short story. so, you know it will be over before you know. Also, if you are an old timer such as myself, you will figure out the twist like a minute into the story. That's okay though. the writing is good. uncomplicated. extremely well edited and good voice cast. a good, quick read.

short, expected twist but well written
