My comments: This was just what I needed to get me out of my reading slump. First of all, it took place on Bel Marin Keys off Novato Boulevard! Over on the other side of the key from where Dede lives, and a house that was backed up directly to the lagoon. That in itself was pretty cool, and so was the story - fun and descriptive and it didn't take long for you to figure out that something very weird was going on. Dog walking! Fun mystery with red herrings.
Goodreads synopsis: 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.
