I read thousands of books and thanks to Kindle free days, I never pay for them. Until now. After reading the first book in this series, I would whole-heartedly purchase anything Estelle wrote without even seeing what it was. I found her premise well thought out and executed with precision and talent. I particularly enjoyed the construction of her novel. It stayed true to the nature of her character and the point of the mystery itself...to evaluate available data and find new data to expose a killer. With that in mind, I understood why she explained every step of the investigative process, revealing at the same time, the nature of her characters. Not once did I find myself bored because I couldn't wait to see what the characters would reveal about themselves. The interplay between characters was both witty and deeply indicative of their true personalities.It was amusing to "watch" the heroine struggle with figures of speech. Rarely, did she use any herself. When she did, it seemed perfectly natural as Genevieve has spent her life working to overcome the pitfalls of her type of autism. She would have heard and learned some figures of speech along the way.Readers should be aware that certain words are spelled with British spellings not American and are not typos.Personal preferences: I would rather not see curse words in a book, but when they did occur, they fit that particular character.All in all, an excellent read. Highly recommended.
