Has he spontaneously combusted? [Teds theory.] Has he been kidnapped? [Aunt Glorias theory.] Is he even still alive? [The familys unspoken fear.] Even the police are baffled. Ted, whose brain runs on its own unique operating system, and his older sister, Kat, overcome their prickly relationship to become sleuthing partners. They follow a trail of clues across London in a desperate bid to find their cousin, while time ticks dangerously by...About the AuthorSiobhan Dowd is married and lives in Oxford. She was born in London to Irish parents, but in her youth spent much time in the family home in County Waterford, then Wicklow town. During a sevenyear spell living in New York City, she was named one of the top 100 IrishAmericans by IrishAmerica Magazine and AerLingus for her global anticensorship work with the writers organization PEN.From AudioFileA disorder similar to Aspergers syndrome renders 12yearold Ted an unlikely but completely endearing sleuth in this engrossing story. When his cousin disappears at an amusement park, Teds disability is turned to an advantage as he methodically sets out to find out what happened. With his stilted but appropriately robotic delivery, narrator Alex Kalajzic completely becomes Ted and just as skillfully handles Kat, Teds brash teenage sister. He skillfully alternates between characters of different ages, accents, and social classes, and is competent with female voices. A compelling story with lots of red herrings combined with Kalajzics ability to create vivid characters immerses the listener in this exceptional listening experience. M.H.N.
