Eye Contact by Cammie McGovern

I really liked this book. It's a murder mystery that involves an autistic boy as a witness. It especially hit home since Lisa worked with autistic twins over the summer. It really makes you see the struggles of being a parent of an austic child.....

A child has been murdered, and the only witness won't talk. This is fairly common stuff in murder mysteries, but this witness is a boy locked up by autism. Adam's view of the world around him is interesting, and the plot itself is thought provoking since the reader hears about an assortment of people with communication challenges as the mystery untangles. Julia Fletcher offers a flawless reading that steps back to allow the listener to become absorbed in the story. Unobtrusive and clear, Adam's voice calmly sheds light on the difficulty of moving through a complicated world searching for one's strengths.
