Well that was interesting. I would normally like the idea of valuing a dog’s wellbeing over a person’s. It has a bit of poetic justice. But this goes a little far. The dog owner wouldn’t throw the dog’s ball and feeds it kibble so he needs to DIE?? Calm down there. Also, bad timing on my part, as we had another elementary school shooting yesterday, I’m a little sensitive to making light of killing people.

This was enjoyable. I did kind of see the ending coming which I don’t mind because it’s so short. I kind of like the message of this. (Not the murder, about animal cruelty).

This is my first novella. Well I’ll be honest I never knew what a novella was before this. 😬 This is a super quick read. I finished it in a hour. I loved the underlying humor from Shelby while talking to Detective Grady. Everyone’s story is matching up perfectly…Shelby clearly knows everything that’s going on with these peoples lives. But just what the heck is going on?!? I love Samantha Downkng books and had to have this as soon as I seen it. Great little read.

My first novella! I enjoyed it, knowing it would be wrapped up in just a couple hours of listening made listening to the mystery unfold intriguing in a new way.
