Review: This is one of the strangest books I’ve ever read. Was in the Keys and ran out of reading material- so perused the cottage bookshelves…and was intrigued by the blurb on this one. It’s a British mystery…of sorts. The book is in the first person and told from the perspective of a 13 year old boy, Christopher, who is clearly high on the autism spectrum. When I started the book, I was not sure I would finish it..…but could not stop reading…totally captivating. This is not a book for everyone. The kid is early frustrating and surrounded by very flawed adults……plus there is a murdered dog…..BUT…worth a try……fascinating….
