Cleverly plotted and unusual police procedural, featuring DS Cross, whose Asperger's contributes to unique crime solving insights, but tends to alienate people through his lack of social skills. Fortunately, DS Julie Ottey is assigned as minder to soften his social interactions and the partnership is well described as the case unfolds. A homeless man is found murdered and initial assumptions are that another homeless man committed the murder. Cross is convinced otherwise and doggedly investigates what becomes a complex and interesting case, which has a strong thread of reality. Started off disliking it - don’t like using asd / Asperger as a literary device, usually jars. But in this case I found the book increasingly gripping and finished reading it in two sittings. The main irritation was that he badly needs an editor - punctuation and grammar errors, and also a few internal contradictions.

One unsatisfying thing about the plotting was that
There were some irritating little things that an editor should have caught, such as mismatched quotation marks and jolting transitions between speakers. Not critical but jarring.
That said, I found the characters and the story interesting enough to be planning to read the following book. ( )
