I enjoyed this book. I chose the book for the perspective of someone with Aspergers Sydnrome...I found it rather interesting with this twist.

Samuel doesn't operate a detective agency, instead he answers questions for people. When a head (yes, you read that right) goes missing from the cryogenics facility, the director asks him a simple question - where did the head go? Samuel has Asperger's so his approach to answering the question isn't as straight-forward as you'd think. Fun first novel in a series.

maybe cozy mysteries are just not for me; or it was the banter from the MC. I decided it was ok to DNF (finally); I did skip to the end to see whodunnit lol

Rarely have a meet such a charming man as Samuel Hoenig. He is a man with Asperger's Syndrome and he will just win your heart. His job is finding answers to questions and his latest question comes from the administrator of a Cryonics Institute. It seems there is a stolen head and Samuel is ask to find who stole it. And there comes the plot of a wonderful new book- which I hope will be the first in a series. Samuel hires a charming and helpful woman to assist him. Lots of laughs and action. I can not say enough about how great this book is.

I'm struggling not to give this book one star because it didn't choose Eleanor Rigby as the best Beatles song. It is. It's cheerfully morbid. It's the best.
Back to the story at hand. I liked it. I don't know how accurate the representation is, but I know there are many levels of Asperger out there and they aren't all like the one described here. I guess it was interesting to see how the authors imagined the thought process of Sam.
