This is the first book I’ve read from Estelle Ryan and it won’t be the last. The story and tension pulled through to the end and kept me reading well past my bedtime. I loved all the characters and their interactions with each other.
I love that it teachers people about working and living with someone with special needs!
Loved this series, such interesting characters, mystery, intrigue and how different response from one person to the main character is read by the person with an autism issue.
This is the first book I have read in this series and I intend to read all of them. It is set in the art world and the main character is a high functioning autistic woman. Fascinating. Told in first person so it’s like being inside her head. Love the characters and all the extra art information. Not boring!
Clever story and insightful
The premise of an autistic protagonist is quite original. I would add that the author over describes a number of the character’s traits. The story line is intriguing and offers q fun ride to the end.
This book had great suspense and interesting characters to give 5 stars, but I gave it 4 stars because of too much repetition. I did really enjoy the story.
A lot of spelling mistakes but overall a good read
Loved this. Read the whole series
The Lenard character is outstanding!
I love the characters. Format is same across books, but I like the characters and their relationship to each other. She uses quite a lot of current, relevant topics and technologies. Well researced.
This was a very thought-provoking book from the perspective of someone on the autism spectrum. I absolutely loved seeing things from this perspective. It was also a fun ride with intrigue, mystery, travel and romance. It was great!
Love her novels in this series. Looking forward to reading another.
enjoyed all the quirky characters and the interaction between them.
Difficult to get into. I rarely need more than 2 days to read a book. The main character was so annoying that I almost gave up.
Every week I read at least four books : inexpensive UK and Ireland police procedurals, more costly best known mystery and thriller writers or espionage series. This book is a bit out of my regular range but the series are light reads, the protagonist is unique, plots not bad and the conversations very witty. I will buy when specially priced but …
I have read the first three books in this series and have enjoyed all!
Simply FABULOUS!
Really fun characters and fun plot.
This writer I love her books I have read three and have recommended them to my friends
