What is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time about?

In Mark Haddon’s widely acclaimed novel, an unusual and brilliant boy insists on investigating the mysterious death of a neighbour’s dog.This is Christopher's murder mystery story. There are also no lies in this story because Christopher can't tell lies. Christopher does not like strangers or the colours yellow or brown or being touched. On the other hand, he knows all the countries in the world and their capital cities and every prime number up to 7507. The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time is a mystery novel shot through with poignancy with a 15-year-old Asperger’s/autistic narrator who tasks himself with solving a crime but who simultaneously has to negotiate adolescence and his parents’ failed marriage."Mr Haddon has deliberately created a story defined and limited by his hero's very logical, literal-minded point of view. The result is a minimalistic narrative – not unlike a Raymond Carver story in its refusal to speculate, impute motive or perform emotional embroidery ... Christopher's detective work eventually takes him on a frightening trip to London, a trip that Mr Haddon makes us experience from the boy's point of view as a harrowing adventure, as scary as any
