Memory Book (Benny Cooperman Series #11) Book

Prior to reading this book, I had never heard of Howard Engel. Therefore, I knew nothing about him as an author prior to this book or his condition during the writing of this one. The afterword explains it all but I won't give that away here. I went into the story blind, no preconceptions, and I'm glad I did.

This is more like an old-fashioned, Sherlock Holmes-type mystery, rather than the typical intricate, fast-paced mystery of today. Benny Cooperman, the detective and narrator, has a brain injury and does most of his detecting from the brain injury ward in the hospital. While some might consider this story slow due in part to the lack of movement, I found it entertaining and enjoyed every word.
