Trigger warnings for animal abuse and misogyny. Don't bother. This is the most boring book since the phone book. It was advertised as a mystery, so I assumed something like Father Brown or Midsomer Murders. This is no mystery at all. This is like a guy just doing his day to day stuff. "I woke up that morning and shaved. Then I did my rounds. I found a stray dog and took it to the station. His owner showed up later and picked him up." I'm not even exaggerating.
