Publisher's Summary
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.

A must-listen for dog lovers!
Samantha Downing is one of my favorite authors, so I immediately listened to this very clever short mystery about a dog walker and a murdered owner of one of her clients.
This was a very clever story with well planned and thought through details. I really enjoyed it.

Wow!!! Great listen!!
This story was a joy!! The mystery is an enigma wrapped in a paradox and as the story unfolds, I kept saying, no way, no way, no way. Then, kaboom, WAY!
The narrators delivered. In spades!
