My name is Peter Grant, and until January, I was just probationary constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service (and as the Filth to everybody else). My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit - we do paperwork so real coppers don't have to - and finding a way to climb into the panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May. Then one night, in pursuance of a murder inquiry, I tried to take a witness statement from someone who was dead but disturbingly voluble....

Story4 out of 5 stars 42
Rachel Goldman writes mysteries in which Duffy Madison, consultant to the county prosecutor's office, helps find missing persons. Rachel is busy working on her next book when a man calls out of the blue asking for help in a missing person case. The caller's name? Duffy Madison. Is this real, or has she lost her mind? She doesn't have much time to find out, because a serial killer is on the loose, kidnapping and murdering mystery authors. And Rachel may just be the next target.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 22
Shadowvale isn’t typical small-town America. The sun never shines, the gates decide who enters, magic abounds, and every resident bears some kind of curse. No one knows this as well as raven shifter Deacon Evermore, who, like everyone in his family, has a curse. While his position as Shadowvale’s peacekeeper lets him use that curse for good, he’d rather live anywhere else. He stays for his family but doubts he can last much longer.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 56
"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

Summary
"Is Richard Handy really my friend?"
It's been one year, two weeks, and three days since Samuel Hoenig opened the doors of Questions Answered. The personality traits of his Asperger's Syndrome help him maintain objectivity - a critical component of his business's continuing success.
But when Tyler Clayton, a young man who also has Asperger's, asks if a store clerk is truly his friend, Samuel, for the first time, can't bear to give an objective answer. It's a dicey situation that only gets worse when one of the key players ends up dead. Resolving to do the right thing, Samuel, with help from his associate Ms. Washburn, wades into the murky waters of friendship, and the answer he finds may be a revelation to himself most of all.

Fun and Light Mystery
I love this series! The character of Samuel is well developed and likeable, and his sidekicks, "Mother" and Mrs. Washburn, play off him perfectly. The concept of answering a question for a business is intriguing, and I like how the author turns the question into a mystery. Samuel reminds me a little bit of Mr. Monk, and his unique perspectives help solve the mystery. I also like that Mrs. Washburn is given credit for her contributions and is more than just a potential love interest for Samuel. This is the third in the series, but the first one I listened to on audio. I thought that the audio version would make Samuel come alive as I have found in some series, but I found that the printed versions were just as enjoyable.

Good humor, psychologically accurate, reminds one that people are NOT their "disorders." Very entertaining listen.

These books are original and fun and the narration brings them to a whole other level that is very important in understanding the different personality, as Sam would say it. if you enjoy it please request the content from audible.

Love these little Cozies
Samuel Hoenig, proprietor of Questions Answered, has been asked a new question. Is Richard Handy really my friend? The question presents a problem for Samuel, as his Aspergers leaves him highly objective, but the question is not an objective one. His client, Tyler, is a young man also on the autism spectrum, and not equipped to answer this question for himself, a point of significance for Samuel and his associate, Miss Washburn. They take the question.
They were not surprised to ascertain that Richard Handy was not really Tyler's friend, but when Richard is shot and the police find Samuel's client standing over the body with the gun, answering the question of who shot Richard Handy proves much more difficult. Tyler has confessed.
I really do enjoy these cozy mysteries. After the fashion of Dame Agatha, it's always that one thing we didn't know that clinches these plots together. This story, while still very enjoyable, has a bit of a plot hole. There are explanations around it, but none of them are especially satisfying. Not a major point of contention for me. I enjoyed where this one ended.

Aspergers
Aspergers is an interesting topic. I think as my third novel you waste too much time speaking about it.

Skip this one
When the author gets past explaining every, and I mean every, detail of life on the autism and allied disorders spectrum - then I will read another in the series.
