About this listen
A spate of murders, deranged scientists, and heavily armed mercenaries - little wonder there's a state of panic at Scotland Yard.
Chief Inspector Brian Hooley has a plan, and it won't make him popular. He wants to bring back autistic detective Jonathan Roper. Currently suspended on misconduct charges, his condition, coupled with a relentless work ethic, makes Roper a unique investigator with observational skills that allow him to see what others miss. But he is also a complex man who doesn't get social boundaries, and plenty of his colleagues just don't like him.
Hooley doesn't care about that. He knows Roper is the one to make a difference.
What follows is a roller-coaster ride, with the veteran cop about to find out what it's like to be the subject of Roper's unflinching gaze as his personal habits face intense scrutiny.
This special relationship is warmly observed and provides a comic contrast to a darkly compelling story where the pair is pushed to the limit.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

Story
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

Unexpected Likable Thriller
Jonathan Roper is autistic and it's really hard for him to make friends, but I like how he assembled the strange clues to make sense of this crime. With Detective Chief Inspector Brian Hooley of Scotland Yard, helping Jonathan they are a good team and sometimes a difficult colleague.
I wasn't sure if I would like to listen to this audiobook but gave it a chance and I'm glad I did.

Excellent storyline
Storyline kept my interest throughout. Natural and believable dialogues. Makes you hope that this kind of thing doesn’t really happen in today’s world and all came from authors imagination. I will definitely be reading more of Michael Leese’s books.

Loved the story and the relationship between the main characters. A relationship that requires work can be good for you.

Excellent in most aspects of the way autism affects the everyday personal interactions . Lesson to be learned by all tolerance and acceptance.

Interest, but complicated
Enjoyable reading with an unusual twist. Roper is very well developed character and the author used his skills well.

Great mystery and characters
I am fascinated with the way Roper works out the clues. Holley deserves a medal for his patience. Complicated story line well done.

Fascinating description of Roper's process. Solution was not obvious which makes it fun.
The sing-song style of the performer is distracting. I really enjoyed the story and will look for more in this series.

Hated the end
This narrator sounded too AI for my liking. Abrupt reading and too long of a pause at the end of each sentence even at 1.1 speed.I got over that because it was an interesting premise. Obviously, I'm listening to a murder mystery but I was really unhappy with how violently disturbing the last few chapters became. I guess it goes with the territory so my fault. But a heads up if anybody would rather avoid disgusting and disturbing narrative.
