Hell hath no fury like a telepath scorned...
Sy Freitag and Brian Kirby are an unlikely partnership in the best spirit of the genre: a beautiful, European-expat billionaire, and a straight-shooting, working-class FBI agent thrown together by a hostage situation, reunited by a murder/art-heist investigation, and bound by the deepening feelings and trust that blossoms between them over the course of this well-paced whodunit. Brian knows how to work a case. Sy can read minds. It's only a matter of time, patience, and a little luck before they solve the intertwined mysteries surrounding Sy's husband's death.
What makes The Trouble With Henry stand out is the author's wonderfully researched, carefully structured prose, and the humanity and dimension that are woven into her characters. Sy and Brian are reminiscent of Scully and Mulder or Bones and Booth without being derivative. Ms. Dunning embraces the tropes of the detective genre, giving them a kiss of magical realism, a spark of passion, and a taste of wry humor all her own.
I've long been a fan of Shelton Keys Dunning's writing, and am privileged to have called her a colleague at Write on Edge/The Red Dress Club. I received my copy of The Trouble With Henry as a gift from the author, but my opinions are entirely mine.
