The plot was by no means simple, but offered in such a clear way that I found myself hooked and lost some sleep because of that. Plus the book has enough humour to keep me entertained... and enough romance to keep me more than entertained!

Here's the set-up:
Murdered artists. Masterful forgeries. Art crime at its worst.
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.
One Reviewer Notes:
Thank you so much for buying or considering The Gauguin Connection. Writing it was a huge adventure. Not only did I learn a lot of interesting things (including bore lapping - Vinnie, one of the characters, will tell you all about it), but I also was lucky enough to combine all my passions in one book. My interest in international politics, music, art, psychology, criminal psychology, nonverbal communication and all things conspiratorial flowed together in Genevieve's life.
About the Author
Estelle Ryan was born in South Africa and spent her childhood being surrounded by African beauty, nature and diversity of cultures. Her first trip to Europe at the tender age of 16 transformed her world into a much larger place, endless in its possibilities and places to explore. For most of her adulthood she's travelled all over the world, lived on a few continents, explored numerous cultures and is insatiable in the quest to still the hunger for more life experiences.
She's written for numerous international magazines, was the editor of a European lifestyle magazine and has seven out-of-print romance novels published under a pseudonym. With her interest in international politics, arts, crime, behavioural psychology, criminal psychology and music, she decided to combine all these elements in her writing. And so Genevieve and the team came into being.
She is an unabashed coffeeshopaholic. Good coffee, ambience and music in the perfect combination is all that is required to turn a mundane coffee shop into her 'office'. The appropriate coffee shop is chosen depending on the mood, the weather, the type and amount of work that needs to be done and, of course, the craving of the day. All of her books have been written in numerous coffee shops all over the world.

Here’s the set-up:
Most people still believe in God. Many of them hold a negative view of church. Frankly, they’ve given up on it. And it’s only getting worse as time goes on. Though some churches are growing, church attendance overall continues to shrink, while our culture sinks deeper into darkness. A world—increasingly desperate for hope—is begging us to do something right now to restore the voice of hope in the world. We must act now.
