And yes, this book is about that, but it is not solely about that. It's marketed as a book about a grieving widower who tries to teach his dog, the sole witness to his late wife's death, to talk. As Paul's investigation leads him in unexpected and even perilous directions, he revisits the pivotal moments of his life with Lexy, the brilliant, enigmatic woman whose sparkling passion for life and dark, troubled past he embraced equally.Īh, where do I begin reviewing this book? Let me start by saying that this book is not about what it's promoted to be. Perhaps behind her wise and earnest eyes lies the key to what really happened to the woman he loved. A linguist by training, Paul embarks on an impossible endeavor: a series of experiments designed to teach Lorelei to communicate what she knows. But he can't do it alone he needs Lorelei's help. Reeling from grief, Paul is determined to decipher this evidence and unlock the mystery of her death. In the days and weeks that follow, Paul begins to notice strange "clues" in their home: books rearranged on their shelves, a mysterious phone call, and other suggestions that nothing about Lexy's last afternoon was quite what it seemed. The only witness was their dog, Lorelei, whose anguished barking brought help to the scene - but too late. He returns home one day to find that his wife, Lexy, has died under strange circumstances. Paul Iverson's life changes in an instant.
