Review: The Question of the Felonious Friend by E. J. Copperman and Jeff Cohen

A Mysterious Review of The Question of the Felonious Friend by E. J. Copperman and Jeff Cohen. An Asperger's Mystery.

Review summary: The cast of characters is terrific, incredibly well-drawn and engaging. Most especially the series lead, and the manner in which he processes information. The storyline here, however, doesn't seem well-thought out, clumsy even. Despite the strong characters, for readers new to the series this entry may not be the best introduction to it.

Publisher synopsis: "Is Richard Handy really my friend?"

It's been one year, two weeks, and three days since Samuel Hoenig opened the doors of Questions Answered. The personality traits of his Asperger's Syndrome help him maintain objectivity — a critical component of his business's continuing success.

But when Tyler Clayton, a young man who also has Asperger's, asks if a store clerk is truly his friend, Samuel, for the first time, can't bear to give an objective answer. It's a dicey situation that only gets worse when one of the key players ends up dead. Resolving to do the right thing, Samuel, with help from his associate Ms. Washburn, wades into the murky waters of friendship, and the answer he finds may be a revelation to himself most of all.
