The Gauguin Connection by Estelle Ryan

The Gauguin Connection

by Estelle Ryan

As an insurance investigator and world renowned expert in nonverbal communication, Dr. Genevieve Lenard faces the daily challenge of living a successful, independent life. Particularly because she has to deal with her high functioning autism. Nothing--not her studies, her high IQ or her astounding analytical skills--prepared her for the changes about to take place in her life. It started as a favour to help her boss' acerbic friend look into the murder of a young artist, but soon it proves to be far more complex. Forced out of her predictable routines, safe environment and limited social interaction, Genevieve is thrown into exploring the meaning of friendship, expanding her social definitions, and for the first time in her life be part of a team in a race to stop more artists from being murdered.

I loved this. Jen-girl was awesome. This was a long read and somewhat slow at times, I don't think it'll be for everyone - but I loved it. The details and the mystery kept me intrigued. I loved Jen and her issues and especially the relationship between her and Philip. Philip is so protective of her and that's really nice. I also loved how Jen stretched her comfort zone to include Colin, Manny and Vinnie. She didn't always understand but she always tried. I can't wait to read more about the gang. I especially want to learn more about Francine and more about Jen's relationship with her parents.
