The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time has been on my TBR for a long time.  I had tried to read it once before but set it aside after only a few pages.

When Christopher finds Wellington, his neighbor's dog, dead in her yard, he knows he has to solve the murder.  The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is the mystery that Christopher writes, drawing inspiration from Sherlock Holmes.

It took some time for me to get into this novel, but once I did, it was good!  It becomes so much more than Christopher solving the crime.  It's also a really quick read.  I liked that there were illustrations and diagrams to show how Christopher pictures things in his mind.
