Grab your dictionary, maybe a thesaurus as well, and settle in for a roller coaster of a good read.  As you travel through this controversial, gripping tale about a jaded report, Charlie Harris, who has encountered many gruesome scenes through his many years as a reporter that he's not even phased by this new murder.  With a signature, a white rose, it becomes apparent that there is more to this murder than seems.There are many comparable factors within this disturbing world Charlie finds himself in, much like the modern day we live in, which will make you stop to think a minute about our own world.  You will find yourself captivated by this incredible story as you enter this world of corrupt politicians, terrorism, and more as Charlie embarks on this year long journey in order to try to figure out who did it.  He finds himself risking his career, his friends, and even his own life in his pursuit to find answers and figure out what happened.  Deep within this corrupt world the public lives in fear as murder and violence run rampant, occurring daily.When Dogs Could Talk is a suspenseful political thriller, with an exceptional story line that will keep you on the edge of your seat, reading intensely, flipping the pages with anticipation and intrigue.  I would definitely recommend this book and feel it's best suited for those who love action packed, thrilling, fictional novels.  This dystopian novel is not a light read, it is a very compelling tale that makes you think while it entertains the mind.  The author has done a fantastic job writing this gripping story that grabs hold of you very early on and doesn't let go until you have finished reading the story.  And even then it leaves you wanting more.  I look forward to reading more of Wellhauser's work.
