When I first picked up this book I didn’t expect it to be a very good because the front cover seemed very childish. But when I got started on the book I couldn’t put it down. The story is told from the point of view of fifteen-year-old Christopher who is suffering from Asperger’s syndrome.

At the beginning Chris finds a dead dog in his garden that has been killed by a garden fork and he tries to solve the mystery, but as his investigation leads him on he finds out some terrible secrets which had been kept hidden from him.

This is a very compelling book and I advise all readers of whatever age to read this.
