Mich hat das gut unterhalten. 3,5 Sterne aufgerundet.

It feels a lot like a Sherlock Holmes book. My only complaint is that they don’t really get too far into the disability and kind of keep it as gumshoe rather than realistic. The protagonist seems to take everything in stride rather than get frustrated or exhibit any negative behavior. Ms Washburn even blunts the effect his condition has with communication with other characters avoiding overly awkward situations. I’d like to see more realistic interactions and a more challenging plot

The characters are still interesting, but this second book doesn't shine quite like the first. The protagonist's personality and unique narration are enough to make any question he tackles intriguing to readers, which makes it all the less necessary to have as convoluted and complex a plot as this. Some key points--false identities and fraud, for example-- were too similar to the previous book's plot points.

Note: I received a digital ARC through NetGalley.
