The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time


British writer Mark Haddon wrote this mystery novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, in 2003. The book is about a 15 year old boy named Christopher, who suffers from Asperger's Syndrome. Even though he lives with a logical brain, the daily events that take place in his life have very little meaning to him. He functions with the help of a diagram kept in his pocket. When he finds his neighbor's dog named Wellington, dead, it disrupts his ordered and constructed life. Being a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, he decides to write a thriller based on the incident and solve the mystery. The deeper he digs, the more complicated the mystery gets.
