Sleeping Dogs Lie by Samantha Downing
4.0
Narration: 5 Stars
Story: 4.5 Stars
If you've got a pet at home - particularly a dog - & you're a fan of thrillers, you've got to make it a point to either listen to or read Samantha Downing's novella, Sleeping Dogs Lie - this was truly made for animal lovers everywhere!
I decided to give this a listen & I absolutely loved both of our narrators, they each gave a great performance & kept me fully invested the entire time. I liked the way this novella was structured, we got three parts, two from Shelby, the dog walker, & one from the detective assigned to the case who's interviewing Shelby - getting both of their POVs really kept me on my toes regarding the central mystery at hand, I didn't know who to trust! The pacing was perfect, there were just the right amount of twists & turns & red herrings sprinkled throughout, & right when I thought I had it all figured out, I was caught off guard by the ending. Without giving anything away, I got a real kick out of the killer's motivation here & I think many others will, too.
