Colin Fischer

I reviewed this for the library blog, but basically: if you're going to have a narrator on the autism spectrum, commit to it. Colin Fischer has a weird meandering 3rd person omniscient narrator that undermines Colin's POV and seems really odd for a mystery to use.

I found this book really disappointing. Colin was written in an extremely behaviorizing way and can be described as a self-narrating zoo exhibit. I felt like the glimpses into Colin's thoughts still came across as behaviorizing—and when he had meltdowns, they were never described from inside Colin's thoughts, but as how they would look to an observer.
