If he did relate to others better, he might have been able to guess who hated Mrs Shears enough to kill her dog.Īs it happens, Christopher can't guess, and so he embarks on a quest to solve the murder mystery, just like his favourite detective character, Sherlock Holmes. That's a form of autism and it means that he doesn't understand or relate to other people the way most of us do. It is lying on the front lawn skewered through the heart by a garden fork, and that is a mystery to Christopher which needs to be solved. ![]() Here's a murder mystery story, told by someone with a different view of life.Ĭhristopher Boone finds his neighbour's dog murdered. ![]()
