For Samuel Hoenig, Asperger's isn't so much a syndrome as it is a set of personality traits. And as the sole proprietor of a business called Questions Answered, Samuel's put his personality traits to good use, successfully answering every question he's ever been asked. But when his newest client asks about the true identity of her so-called husband, Samuel recruits his former associate, Janet Washburn, for insight into a subject that's beyond his grasp - marriage. Working as a team seems to be the right approach...until the inscrutable spouse is found dead in Samuel's office. Feeling like he's been taken for a fool, Samuel is more than willing to answer a new question posed by an unexpected inquirer: Who killed the unfamiliar husband?

I really enjoy these stories. The narrator is terrific. Keep them coming! I love all of the characters.

Great!

Truly enjoyed getting to know the characters of the series better. I love the way Copperman writes and how you feel like you know these people by the time you finish the book. By the time you finish the series, they feel like friends with whom I never want to part.

Loved it!

In the first book I found it difficult to get used to Samuel. By half way thru I was really enjoying the characters. I can't imagine the narration was easy to do but be d iij d a really good job. I am looking forward to the next book.

Very funny and entertaining.

These books are a nice addition to the cozy mystery genre and the four stars are mostly because the character of Samuel Hoenig carries this story. The actual plot itself was given away early on. In the interest of not spoiling this for those who haven't read, suffice to say if you're an Agatha Christie reader, you're going to be stopped in your tracks with a plot element you've seen before. Granted, all plots are things we've likely seen before, but this one stands out.

That doesn't stop what follows from being entertaining and there's still a twist I didn't see coming. It's not huge, and doesn't change the outcome, which is a tad disappointing. Read the book for the characters and you won't harbor regrets.

Samuel Hoenig is awesome! He is quirky and is not perfect, but that adds to the books appeal. I'll definitely continue the series. The cast of regulars is growing too. We have Janet Washburn the capable associate, along with Samuel's Mom. In this book the cab driver had a more prominent part which was very well written. The reader is very good!

I'm a fan!

Fun and Fabulous Read!

Any additional comments?

This is the second book in this series that I have listened to and I have enjoyed them both. However, I wish the author would give us a little deeper look into our hero's personality and character. I think that often, to neuro-typicals, a person's autistic characteristics define them to the exclusion of much else. In fact, people on the spectrum are much more than just their autism. We don't get to know much else about Samuel, aside from his enjoyment of the Beatles and baseball, which is unfortunate. Adding some exploration of the rest of his personality could replace some of the constant repetition of explanations regarding his Asperger's, which feels pedantic after awhile. We, as readers, get it that he doesn't like to shake hands, and it becomes a bit irritating to be told this time and time again.I especially enjoyed Mark Boyett's narration, as he seems content to just read the story to us. I much prefer this to the attempts at theatrical performance that so many narrators give.

There is more to Samuel than just Asperger's

I found the story line sadly predictable with the mystery presenting little to no surprises.

However, I still enjoyed the performance and the characters. I am growing to quite like the proprietor and associate of Questions Answered. Would recommend as a light read if you have no expectations of an intense mystery.

Good characters, weak mystery

This is still an enjoyable story. I enjoyed that his mother had a more active part. More information exploring Samuel personality would vary the story. This mystery was confusing with all the names of the wives, which entailed me going over certain parts.

Still entertaining
