As the wife of a man with Asperger's Syndrome, and the mother of a girl with it as well, I read this book with great interest. Having worked with autistic individuals, the author was able to weave his experience into a very believable character who is caught up in the middle of a terrible situation.
Anyone who is looking for some help understanding what goes on inside the minds of autistic individuals should read this book. Anyone who is looking for a very different sort of mystery should read this book. For me, it wasn't a fast read, parts of it could be tedious, but it reminded me of how it can be listening to my DD tell me about something that happened to her. Sometimes all the detail wears me out! But it is important to her.
The only reason I gave the book four stars instead of five is that it contains quite a bit of bad language. Normally, I would not persist reading a book with this amount of it.
This book is definitely worth the read!
