Some portions were constantly repetitive which could have been less and still had the message be understood but that is how I feel. Story, characters and ending were interesting and a good read. Considering my feelings of repetitiveness I still read 3 books from this author and would read another.
Wonderful interplay between very original characters. Looking forward to more of the same.
Light but interesting with an autistic heroine.
Good whodunit
I love this series and have to buy more in the series soon.
Not sure why but I got hooked on the entire series. I’ve enjoyed them and learned a bit about art and autism.
If you like the Masters, you will enjoy this book, the first in a series. Have read two of the series so far and found them entertaining
Good beginning to a series of books. I would read more of this author’s work just for the chuckles. At least it will bring a smile to your face!
Loved this book
The quirks of the protagonist really become tiresome and don’t lend enough to the story to justify their inclusion. At about 2/3’s of the way through the plotting becomes pretty obvious.
I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the next one in this series
Filled with likeable characters, Ryan developed a mystery series that portrays autistic people in a positive manner. With Europe as the setting, watching a group of societal outcasts evolve in their friendships with one another, partly due to their unique, individual skill-sets, and partly due to how they choose to treat one another with respect, …
One of my favorite series of books that I have read in a long time. Fast-paced and intriguing.
I enjoyed the diversity of the characters. I especially liked the way the author employed a woman with a seeming disability as the completely abled lead character. I want to read more of this series.
Loved this series!!
I got this when it was free. Loved it so much that I tracked down the sequels at local libraries. After checking them out multiple times, I realized this series was one of the few I really wanted to own. I’ve bought the entire collection and am eagerly awaiting the next volume.
Well written and good character development.
Definitely a different kind of mystery, autistic insurance investigator dealing with high value art crimes. A few of the main characters are a little too over the top with their abilities and their resistance to injury and the bad guys are way too clever. But that’s OK, it’s a novel after all. The whole series is enjoyable.
Love Love Love Ryan’s series featuring Genevieve Lenard. The second in the series includes the same wacky intense cast as first book.
One of my favorite series!
