Publisher's summary
A spate of murders, deranged scientists, and heavily armed mercenaries - little wonder there's a state of panic at Scotland Yard.
Chief Inspector Brian Hooley has a plan, and it won't make him popular. He wants to bring back autistic detective Jonathan Roper. Currently suspended on misconduct charges, his condition, coupled with a relentless work ethic, makes Roper a unique investigator with observational skills that allow him to see what others miss. But he is also a complex man who doesn't get social boundaries, and plenty of his colleagues just don't like him.
Hooley doesn't care about that. He knows Roper is the one to make a difference.
What follows is a roller-coaster ride, with the veteran cop about to find out what it's like to be the subject of Roper's unflinching gaze as his personal habits face intense scrutiny.
This special relationship is warmly observed and provides a comic contrast to a darkly compelling story where the pair is pushed to the limit.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 115
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

“The Heron” is the nickname a big-city accountant has attached to himself in his new home near San Diego, where he’s using the alias to avoid a hit man who may be after him. It seems a former client believes that The Heron has skipped town with several million dollars not his own. Don Winslow’s ensuing, entertaining yarn is by turns twisty, dark, and comical as we observe the delicate dance between the pursuer and the pursued.

What would happen if a shy introvert lived like a gregarious extrovert for one year? If she knowingly and willingly put herself in perilous social situations that she’d normally avoid at all costs? Writer Jessica Pan intends to find out. With the help of various extrovert mentors, Jessica sets up a series of personal challenges (talk to strangers, perform stand-up comedy, host a dinner party, travel alone, make friends on the road, and much, much worse) to explore whether living like an extrovert can teach her lessons that might improve the quality of her life.

The last time DCI Jamie Carver involved a would-be victim in his hunt for a serial killer, it ended badly. Now they want him to do it again, only this time the 'victim' is a Dominatrix. As if he hasn't enough on his plate - a brutal killer poised to strike again; shadows of the past that still haunt his dreams; an investigation under mounting pressure to succeed; a beautiful woman whose bizzare lifestyle may be the key to finding the killer. And that's not counting the young girl whose life he's trying to save from ruin or the ambitious colleague scheming to bring him down.

Unexpected Likable Thriller
Jonathan Roper is autistic and it's really hard for him to make friends, but I like how he assembled the strange clues to make sense of this crime. With Detective Chief Inspector Brian Hooley of Scotland Yard, helping Jonathan they are a good team and sometimes a difficult colleague.
I wasn't sure if I would like to listen to this audiobook but gave it a chance and I'm glad I did.

Excellent storyline
Storyline kept my interest throughout. Natural and believable dialogues. Makes you hope that this kind of thing doesn’t really happen in today’s world and all came from authors imagination. I will definitely be reading more of Michael Leese’s books.

Enjoyable reading with an unusual twist. Roper is very well developed character and the author used his skills well.

Great mystery and characters
I am fascinated with the way Roper works out the clues. Holley deserves a medal for his patience. Complicated story line well done.

Fascinating description of Roper's process. Solution was not obvious which makes it fun.
The sing-song style of the performer is distracting. I really enjoyed the story and will look for more in this series.

Hated the end
This narrator sounded too AI for my liking. Abrupt reading and too long of a pause at the end of each sentence even at 1.1 speed.I got over that because it was an interesting premise. Obviously, I'm listening to a murder mystery but I was really unhappy with how violently disturbing the last few chapters became. I guess it goes with the territory so my fault. But a heads up if anybody would rather avoid disgusting and disturbing narrative.
