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.

So enjoyable
As a dog walker this hit home in lots of ways - except the obvious! So good- I'm looking forward to listening to it again with my Husband.
Good story, brilliantly read by the narrator.

Great little novella
This short story by Samantha Downing is currently free to Audible members in the Plus catalogue. It's a fun crime story involving a dog walker who takes her charge home after a work and finds it's owner dead.
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!

Entertaining couple of hours
A pretty well written story, performed very well - I did find the ending a bit ‘lame’…

Interesting and engaging story. It was a pity that the writer wrote such a lame ending.

Unbelievable (in a negative way)
Story was good until we got to the end. Great to have Pluto (dog) as the central character, but the ending was just stupid!
