The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time takes place in the year 1998 in and
around the town of Swindon, England. The fifteen-year-old narrator of the story,
Christopher John Francis Boone, discovers the slain body of his neighbour’s poodle,
Wellington, on the neighbour’s front lawn one evening and sets out to uncover the
murderer. His investigation is at times aided, and at other times hampered, by the mild
form of autism he lives with. After Christopher hits a policeman in a misunderstanding at
the scene of the crime, the police take Christopher into custody. They release
Christopher with only a stern warning, under the condition that he promises to them and
to his father not to look into the murder any further. Christopher chronicles his
investigation in a book-the book we are reading-as part of a school assignment.
Ignoring repeated warnings from his father, Christopher investigates the crime scene
and conducts interviews with the residents of his block. He uncovers a more tangled
plot than was first apparent.
