What It’s About

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 biweekly 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—dead on the bathroom floor. As a detective interviews Shelby, a medical examiner inspects the body, 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.

What I thought about it

***Possible Spoilers below

Sleeping Dogs Lie was one of those few reads where the narrator/protagonist was also the antagonist. Planning this whole facade and identity of a dogwalker just to “rescue” a dog was craaazy! She didn’t even keep the dog; she rehomed Pluto. 

I honestly think I’m happy she got away with it. I love a good vigilante.
