What if you discovered a mystery in your own backyard?

Set in the town of Swindon, England, the story follows 15-year-old Christopher Boone, who finds his neighbor’s dog, Wellington, dead and decides to investigate the murder. Christopher, who has a form of autism, narrates the story, offering a unique perspective on the events that unfold.
