I enjoyed the exploration of the idea that the police officer's Asperger's provides an advantage in analyzing every detail of the crime situation, and especially liked the way he and the people who know him work to deal with the social difficulties his condition presents. The mystery was complex and interesting, and the many secondary characters were filled out.

One unsatisfying thing about the plotting was that the complex array of secondary characters didn't really fulfill their usual traditional role in a mystery: that of providing plausible suspects. I would have liked a hearty threat to the sleazy brother-in-law, for example.

There were some irritating little things that an editor should have caught, such as mismatched quotation marks and jolting transitions between speakers. Not critical but jarring.

That said, I found the characters and the story interesting enough to be planning to read the following book. (

Quirky-an inspector with Asberger’s. Detective who thinks different than other people and comes to different conclusions. (

Cleverly plotted and unusual police procedural, featuring DS Cross, whose Asperger's contributes to unique crime solving insights, but tends to alienate people through his lack of social skills. Fortunately, DS Julie Ottey is assigned as minder to soften his social interactions and the partnership is well described as the case unfolds. A homeless man is found murdered and initial assumptions are that another homeless man committed the murder. Cross is convinced otherwise and doggedly investigates what becomes a complex and interesting case, which has a strong thread of reality. (

DS George Cross investigates the death of a homeless man. But what could be the possible motive. Is there a connection to a murder some years ago. Soon the case gets complicated.
An enjoyable well-written crime story (

Started off disliking it - don’t like using asd / Asperger as a literary device, usually jars. But in this case I found the book increasingly gripping and finished reading it in two sittings. The main irritation was that he badly needs an editor - punctuation and grammar errors, and also a few internal contradictions. Read it from the library for library book club - I think this was the one where an unknown new author had offered sets of his book to book clubs to get known / reviewed... a good policy
