Summary
Sinclair Rutherford is a young Seattle cop with a taste for the finer things. Doing menial tasks and getting hassled by superiors he doesn't respect are definitely not "finer things". Good police work and bad luck lead him to crack a case that changes quickly from a career-making break into a high-profile humiliation when footage of his pursuit of the suspect - wildly inappropriate murder weapon in hand - becomes an Internet sensation.
But the very publicity that has made Rutherford a laughing stock in the department lands him what could be the job opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to work with a team of eccentric experts, at the direction of a demanding but distracted billionaire. Together, they must solve the murder of a psychologist who specialized in the treatment of patients who give people "the creeps".
There is no shortage of suspects.

Scott Meyer does it again!
I discovered Scott Meyer through his Magic 2.0 series. I loved them so much, I just had to explore Scott's other books. This book was fantastic! It had me hooked very early on, and i found myself finishing the entire book from start to finish while on holiday in Majorca.

Not as good as his other books
I normally love Scott Meyer’s quirky, funny books but I found this one to be a bit thin and disappointing. It took a huge amount of time to really get going and never really caught my attention. None of the characters are particularly sympathetic and the mystery story is so simple that it was fairly easy to work out who had done it. That being said it was read really well by Luke Daniels who I will forever associate with Scott Meyer’s work.
If this is the first time you have come across this author, don’t go with this book rather read or listen to the Magic 2.0 series or the brilliantly quirky Master if formalities. This one isn’t his best work and is not a true reflection of how funny, clever and imaginative his other stories are.

Another knock-out by Scott Meyer
Really well written, funny and expertly performed by Luke Daniels. I enjoyed the characters, the story and the performance. would 100% recommend to fan of other Scott Meyer novels.

Not quite on the level of Magic 2.0
I love Scott Meyer and Luke Daniels, but for me this story wasn’t quite on the same level as the Magic 2.0 books. I enjoyed it and will listen again (this was actually my second listen after a gap of several years, I believe, and I think I preferred it on the repeat), but it just didn’t quite hit the same mark. I did laugh out loud several times, but the characters weren’t quite as memorable or endearing. Excellent performance from Daniels, of course. In summary, interesting concept, easy listen and something fun for a Sunday afternoon.

Excellent and original story, well told.
This really deserves to be a series. The lead character does a fair job of giving the reader an ordinary perspective on the story without being bland.

Another great and funny story
Compared to the rest oh his books this one is more honest and enjoyable.
The idea is simple and the effort went into the events and characters.
Very funny and relaxing.
