Weird. A really odd book. It felt very slow despite quite a lot happening. I might read the rest of the series but I'm not in any particular rush.

THERE IS A DEVELOPMENT! I LOVE IT!

I liked that we saw Samuel interacting with another character on the spectrum. It's nice to see different interpretations of autistic people. neurotypicals can't grasp how the atypical mind works 100%, but I admire the guesswork. I don't think one person can 100% know how another person's brain works, atypical or not. Criticism regarding that aspect should cover that fact as well.

I liked the story as well, but I'm mostly interested in character development.

I would have started on book 4 right away but it's not available as audio yet. I might read it or just wait for an audio production, but the ending made me excited about getting to it.

The main character's narration was interesting, but not enough to hold my attention through the lack of much plot. When I requested this book through anetGalley I didn't realize that it is the third in a series. Maybe starting from the beginning would create character investment that would encourage me to keep reading.

I received an ARC from NetGalley.

I enjoy this series, as mysteries go it is light reading. Occasionally the sentence structure can be a little clumsy. I'm always anxious to see how all of the pieces fit together.

Samuel Hoenig, proprietor of Questions Answered, is there to answer your questions as long as they are in the form of a question. In the third installment of the series, his client, Tyler Clayton, is a a young man with autism who is trying to determine if someone is his friend. The topic highlights both young men's difficulty with social situations and clues that others might readily see and lets the reader see inside Samuel a bit more. As always, his sidekick Mrs. Washburn is there to help counterbalance some of Samuel's tendencies and when Tyler is arrested for murder, she pushes Samuel to help the young man. I enjoy that the authors put the reader in the point of view of someone who has Aspergers. Samuel does not apologize for his personality quirks, instead he revels in them and the book gives a positive presentation of a group of people who are misunderstood in mainstream society.

A preview copy of this book was provided by NetGalley and Midnight Ink in exchange for an honest review.

This is really a good series, I always enjoy getting back to the characters and Samuel's very human quirks :)
