After Christophers encounter with the dead dog he becomes intiqued to discover who the murderer was. When he mentions to his Father after doing some investigating that he thinks that the murderer might have been Mr Sheers his father gets extremelly angry and tells him to never say Mr Sheers in the house ever again and to stop the detective cherade. Despit this Christopher finds loop holes in the agreement and continues to ask questions and gets himself into a bit of a muddle.
The book is written from the point of view of Christopher as if he is writing the book wich i think is a very clever style. Because Christopher isnt quite right he doesnt understand emotions so at the end it gets very sad but Christopher just stays blank wich i found highly frustrating.Despit this i found the book very enjoyable and would recommend to anyone looking for a good read. 10/10!
