Good quick read! Loved that Pluto was a main character too. I thought that the story was well written and the reader is diverted between multiple theories, leaving the ending suprising enough , but not overly complex which could leave plot holes,
I liked that the author gave a powerful notion to Det Grady, which translated well through the writing, and the eccentric neighbour was a dose of interest, but the rest of the characters were dull. It is hard to pack character development into such a short time, but I think if the unfotunate characters who met misfortune were more than 'the victim' I may have been more invested.
