    About this ebook

    Mediaeval books. Murdered priests. Bioweapons.

    Renowned nonverbal communications expert Doctor Genevieve Lenard’s search for an international criminal is interrupted when her team receives an antique book. At first the book is dismissed—until they discover similar books gifted to people who are now dead.

    Genevieve’s inner strength is put to the ultimate test when someone close to her also falls victim to the vengeful actions of an unsound mind. Barely coping with the emotional maelstrom and her doubts about her own continued involvement in the team, she looks for connections between their original case, the books and the many suspicious deaths they uncover.

    But the cost might be too high for Genevieve as she rushes to stop the person set on destroying as many lives as possible.

      Series: Genevieve LenardGenevieve Lenard works in Strasbourg, France as a data analyst for a high end art insurance company. She is a high-functioning autistic though she generally describes herself as having a non-typical neural brain. She has studied psychology and is a reknown body language expert. She has become involved with Interpol and analyzing data and determining body language. Colin Frey is a art thief turned Interpol art locator. His friend Vinnie acts as Jenny’s bodyguard. Their friend Francine is a computer hacker/security specialist for several governments. Through Phillip Rosseau her employer she also works with Manny Millard also of Interpol, though he does not know that Colin is with Interpol, and calls him and Vinnie criminals. These 5 people have united to solve art crimes.The Gauguin Connection (Book 1)Introduces that characters of the series, Genevieve Lenard, Colin Frey, Vinnie, Francie, Manfred Millard and Phillip Rousseau. Genevieve Lenard (Jenny) is the centerpiece around who the others protect and help her with attaining the information she needs to find connections to art crimes. The case begins with the arrival of Manfred Millard, a friend of Phillip Rosseau her employer, asking Genevieve to search for stolen guns from an EU military warehouse. It leads Jenny to the murder of an artist and the suicide of her murderer a Russian. It gains traction as Jenny and Colin search for and learn of 13 other murders of artists. Colin is concerned for Jenny’s safety so Vinnie moves into Jenny’s apartment as her bodyguard. The investigation, relationships and team that results is fascinating. The suspense keeps the pages turning.

      Loved the main character with her quirks and skills. The interplay between the key characters was interesting. Especially loved Vinnie.I loved the plot. However, the climatic scene where Genevieve goes off on her own seemed very out of character for her and cliche. Also it felt like some aspects of the mystery was left out unsolved and without a conclusion, may be the author decided to spin it off into another book...Looking forward to reading other books in this series.
    • 4/5
      I picked up the ebook as a freebie from bookbub without expecting much. I was quickly drawn in to the story and enjoyed the characters, though I kept drawing comparison between Genevieve Lenard and Temperance Brennan (the tv "Bones" rather than the book one). There was a nice blend of humor and tension throughout the book, and I was pleased to find that there is a series of 6 more books waiting.
    • 2/5
      Enter another ersatz Lisbeth Salander: she's good with computers! she's not good with people! she's also really tedious - precisely because her 'high functioning autism' is so accurately described. Well done, Ms Ryan, but sorry, this makes for dreadful reading.
    • 4/5
      I got this for free on Amazon.com. Despite having had no expectations of it, it kept my attention and I found it hard to put the book down. Genevieve Lenard was an intriguing and unusual heroine, with autism spectrum disorder, and Genevieve's detailed descriptions of her body-language-reading was fascinating. The characters were mostly likable and lovingly drawn, even though they weren't very complex. It wasn't too difficult to figure out who the villain must be from the point of view of literary device, but it was good to have the intrigue unraveled. Some of the writing (repetition of how Genevieve would have to keep reminding herself to explain her reasoning to others, her puzzlement with idioms, etc.) could get somewhat tedious, but on the other hand, that just illustrates how Genevieve's mind works. (I did note that, as one reviewer on Amazon pointed out, Genevieve's voice did slip sometimes into using idioms, despite her supposedly not being able to understand anything but literal use of language, but I didn't find it overly distracting.)I feel like I can say many critical things about it, but the bottom line is that I truly enjoyed reading this book, and am planning to get the 2nd in the series.
    • 4/5
      A unique main character with Aspergers makes the book interesting and better than a run of the mill mystery novel.
    • 5/5
      I read this on a Kindle app on my phone so didn't get to read steadily as I usually would. That didn't affect my enjoyment of the story. Written with interesting characters, descriptions and tension, it stayed with me in my mind till the next time I was able to pick it up.

      Dr. Genvieve Lenard lives in a structured and logical world - by her choice. A high functioning Autistic person with the ability to deeply research and focus on very detailed information. Her job is insurance investigation on high dollar items, with an emphasis on reading and interpreting body language. Her world is computers, videos and a secure and private office to work in.

      When she is asked to take on the research of missing weapons as a favour to her boss, she finds her world turned upside down. Stolen guns, forged art work, dead artists are just some of what she discovers in her research. She also finds herself working with the type of people she has no tolerance for and in close proximity that is something she cannot tolerate.

      Tension, danger, humour are found in the story line to this first novel. Definitely a good read.
    • 4/5
      This book was entertaining. What got to me initially was the characters. If this were a movie I would totally see Jerri Ryan playing the role of Genevieve Lenard, the main character. I guess what I liked most is the interaction between the characters.

      However, quite frankly, this book was marketed incorrectly. What got me to pick it up was that that Genevieve was marketed as Autistic. It had very little of that. After a while, you were used to Genevieve's quirks as part of her nature. Her Autism was severely played down.

      Also, I felt that an opportunity was lost to describe the painter, Gauguin. Questions like, "what made Gauguin so unique?" "How could you tell an original from a forgery" were left unanswered. Kind of made me sad that the book didn't go into more detail in these areas.

      Otherwise, I feel that if you are a people person and are fascinated as to why people of any nature interact with one another, this is a good book to pick up.
    • 4/5
      Highly entertaining and endearing characters, I hope they go on to many more adventures. Glad I already have number 2!
    • 3/5
      This was a light read which I didn't take at all seriously. In fact, in many ways it reads like a script for a TV series of the light hearted crime sort such as "Castle". I liked the characters even if their reality is dubious. It was OK.
    • 3/5
      A friend recommended this highly. Among other attributes, she said it was humorous.I didn't find much amusing about it. I don't see how one can find the autistic subject "funny." Beyond this characterization, the plot itself was boring to a person (like I) with a short attention span. Delving into computers to chase the trails of stolen guns, stolen art, and missing artists became boring after a while. So why did I stick with it? Except when the same issue was played repeatedly, I enjoyed the character growth. Since there are 6 more books in the series, I'll probably read a couple more.
    • 5/5
      I loved this book, it had me hooked from page 1. The main character has high-functioning Autism. Because of her extraordinary ability to read non-verbal communication she works for an art insurance company in their fraud detection department. Despite her lack of social skills, she excels at her job. Unwillingly, she becomes involved in the investigation of the brutal murder of an art student.The characters were believable and intriguing, the plot was involved and fast-paced, there were twists and turns, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I can't wait to read the next one.
    • 3/5
      I enjoyed this book; however, it was way too long because around page 325 I wanted it to be over. The heroine has a form of Aspergers and retreats into herself playing Mozart in her mind when she feels stressed. She's sort of a blend of Hercule Poirot, Monk and Sheldon Cooper. She works for a company that insures valuables and is looking into stolen art which brings a "cat burglar" into her home who's looking into the death of artists. Of course he very handsome, tolerant, and gentle with her because of her condition. Because of a lack of socialization skills, she reads people (that was explained numerous times) and is able to tell who's lying.
    • 4/5
      I applaud the author's choice to use a woman with highly functional autism as her lead character. The team she allows to build around her, a law enforcement detective, criminals, a hacker and her mentor at the art insurance organization she works in, introduces us to different individual characteristics that make for very interesting study. The science of body and facial language is liberally shared in this thriller and provides interesting side bars to the story. Genevieve Lenard, highly skilled in reading facial and body language, lover of lists and with the ability to find patterns in behavior and events, is called in to help solve the mystery behind the murder of an unidentified female with a piece of canvas identified as a Gauguin painting, a dead Russian who died shouting an apparently insensible riddle and stolen military weapons. I don't know enough about autism to know if a person who has been thus diagnosed would so easily be able to master control over some of her coping mechanisms. In this case, our protagonist, at the beginning of the story, needs to write out Mozart compositions on music sheets in order to calm herself down, but over the course of a matter of days, she appears to no longer need that familiar coping mechanism but has managed to switched to just imagining writing the scores in her mind in order to calm herself down. It's an interesting and entertaining thriller, not least because of the interplay between the characters and I'm looking forward to following this series.
    • 4/5
      I read this book after reading the Dante Connection - which I thought was amazing. This first book in the series was helpful that it gave the initial introduction to the characters that I read about in the second installment. I thought that was a real plus.However, I do not think that this book was on par with the Dante Connection. While this book was better than average (I rate it only 3.5 stars), it was a bit of a let down. I do recommend this book simply because you should be wildly impressed by the next one in the series. I am up in the air regarding the next book in the series. I do like the characters, and the author is skilled. However, I am not sure that I am willing to shell out $5.99 if it is only on par with this book. I will have to check out the reviews across a number of sites.
    • 3/5
      Anyone who has watched episodes of television series like Bones or Monk, or who has seen the movie Temple Grandin is going to have a bit of insight into the fascinating character of Dr. Genevieve Lenard. Lenard may have a very high IQ, and she may be extremely successful at what she does, but it is due to her finding someone who is willing to deal with her on her own terms and special needs. Social interaction is not Lenard's thing; to do her best work, she needs to keep herself at a distance, and distance is certainly not what she's allowed in The Gauguin Connection.Author Estelle Ryan does an excellent job in portraying her quirky, prickly, and nervous main character, although in the first third of the book Ryan does become very repetitive in cataloging facial muscles and Lenard's habits. The first person narrative works well in getting the reader into the mind of this unusual woman.The author also does a fine job in bringing the reader into the shadowy world of art forgery and art fraud-- from the scruffy apartments of the forgers to the glittering world of the wealthy whose preferred palette is that of theft and deception. Ryan also creates a real sense of fear and danger in a scene when Lenard is faced with three of the men she is trying to find.The book is filled with unusual, interesting characters, and I learned much about how people with high-functioning Autism learn to cope and contribute. The shadowy side of the art world that we see was also informative and conveyed a true sense of danger; however, there were a couple of things that felt a bit uncoordinated. I've already mentioned the repetitive elements as Ryan set up her main character, and the other awkwardness I felt has much to do with the setting. This book supposedly takes place in Strasbourg, France, but-- other than a rare mention of a medieval street or tower-- The Gauguin Connection feels as though it could be set just about anywhere in the world. In addition, the characters all sound American, although they're not. I have to admit that my mind's eye and ear missed those bits of authenticity. Even though I felt the lack of these elements, what is there-- a fascinating main character and a whale of a good story-- has me wanting to read more about Dr. Genevieve Lenard.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed reading this book.Excitement and Action from an unlikely Heroine but somewhat pedantic in some of the long winded extemporations within the script not to mention the extensive use of Latin Human AnatomicalTerminology....Yawn inducing...just like this review I'm sorry to say.
    • 4/5
      Dr Genevieve Lenard is an art crime investigator. She has Asperger's, but is high functioning and has the uncanny ability to fluently read other people's body language. In this mystery thriller, stolen art and stolen warfare seem to overlap. The characters are great, the plot moves well and Genevieve is unintentionally very funny. I am really looking forward to the second in the series! (If you want a longer, funnier review, go read Richard's. I think it is his fault I read this.)
    • 5/5
      The Gauguin Connection: A Genevieve Lenard Novel (Volume 1) by Estelle Ryan is the first in a mystery series about insurance investigator Genevieve Lenard. Genevieve is a world renowned expert in nonverbal communication which comes in handy in her job: she's a human lie-detector. Her ability to understand non-verbal communication also helps her manage in her everyday life since she also happens to have high functioning Autism. She lives an independent life, managing her quirks and anxieties with familiar routines. All that is thrown into chaos when she is asked to look into the murder of a young artist. Soon the case becomes even more complicated and Genevieve is thrust into the world of international art fraud and a criminal conspiracy. Even more frightening is the prospect of new people in her life and friendship.I enjoyed this book very much. Genevieve's voice is different and refreshing. Viewing the world through her eyes is enlightening. In some ways she reminded me of Turing Hopper, the artificial intelligence detective character in Donna Andrew's mystery series. Genevieve is brilliant, and understands so much about her fellow humans and their motivations. Yet emotional human interactions are also a mystery to her. The background of art fraud and international crime was well researched. All the characters that enter Genevieve's life are interesting and funny. A highly enjoyable and promising start to a mystery series.

      Six-word review: Autism heightens investigator's unusual sleuthing skills.Extended review:Here are the notes I jotted down right after finishing the book, a month ago now. I'm afraid I no longer remember what I had in mind when I wrote "magnetism." I enjoyed the story well enough, and I'll probably read the next in the series, but this is as far as I feel like exerting myself right now for the sake of this review.entertaining chasecomplex plot--lost track a few timesinteresting charactersmagnetismenticing ambiguity of relationshipsmaddeningly repetitive like Connie Willis--we get it--her traits, such as taking things literally--themes like male territorialityMonk on overdrivecontradictioncan learn 3 languages but can't master a glossary of English slang and idiomson one page she doesn't understand a remark and on another she uses it herself (what?)I did give it three and a half stars at the time, which is a solid "okay" in my book.(Kindle version)

      I received this book as part of a LibraryThing Member Giveaway. I really enjoyed this book. The main character, Dr. Genevieve Lenard is a high-functioning autistic. Seeing the world through her eyes and learning how she copes is fascinating for me. I have worked with autistic children, and I loved the insight into her character. I also loved the explanation of how she reads body language. I found that very informative, as that is something that has always interested me. The other characters were well-written and fun, especially their interactions with each other. The plot was complicated, and I would have liked a summation at the end of the story of all the connections, especially between the art crimes and the stolen arms, as I didn't think that connection was explained clearly enough. I will be reading the next installment in this series with pleasure.
    • 3/5
      Genevieve Lenard is a high-functioning autistic (or something like that) with a deeply-schooled expertise in 'reading' people by their involuntary reactions and body language. Most of the time she can work in her own specially designed room at an insurance firm, analyzing video to detect fraud without actually having to be in contact with other people. But her boss is asked to help solve a problem involving art fraud and theft, and as the problem expands into arms theft, serial murder and international intrigue, Genevieve comes in contact, literally, with more people than she ever imagined she could put up with.As a mystery plot, pretty good. Lots of interesting links between disparate parts of the problem are fodder for our heroine's pattern recognition skills. The characters are a little far-fetched, but not annoyingly so.What is really annoying is how many times the author reminds us of her heroine's peculiar view of the world and of language. Genevieve may be trapped in a very literal mindset, but she is old enough and schooled enough to recognize far more idioms than she does. The first-person narration allows us to learn how she views and copes with the world, but the often excruciating details of her thinking are reiterated too far into the book. And the romantic setup is rather far-fetched.The book is the first in a series. I'm hoping the author will get past the introductory tics and simplify so that we can enjoy a good plot without tripping over the meme too many times.
    • 5/5
      I won a copy of this book from Libray Thing's Membership Giveaway program and I'm glad I entered the contest. This book has it all: fascinating characters, a unique plot, and an intelligent writing style. I didn't want to close my reader and read it quickly. I don't read a lot of mysteries but a detective, or in this case, art fraud investigator, who is a high functioning autistic and world expert at interpreting physical communication is certainly distinctive, and probably unique. Highly recommended.

      This is an exciting first work from the Geneviève Lenard series and I will definitely read the other books in this series as well.Geneviève works in a renowned insurance company. She specializes in reading body language. Even she hardly dares to trust people because she is autistic. Her boss has the greatest understanding and gives her a free hand and respects her comfort zone. But suddenly she has to find out for the European secret service why young art students are murdered and why more than a thousand confiscated weapons have disappeared. If she could do all of this from her safe office or 'safe' home, it would not be a problem. Unfortunately, she has to leave her comfort zone much too quickly. On the one hand, two men step into her life to protect and support her, on the other hand, the bad guys also threaten her life.
    • 4/5
      Estelle Ryan is a delightful new author for me. I really enjoyed her writing in the first Genevieve Lenard series of a conspiracy for forged art, corruption in international policing with good-guys versus the baddies. The protagonist, Genevieve, is a highly intelligent young woman coping with some level of autism. I know very little about the autism spectrum, so cannot evaluate whether it was accurately portrayed. However, the story seemed totally feasible from that point of view and Ryan made the situation sympathetic and 'Jenny' a very engaging character.The supporting cast were well drawn, fully 3-dimensional people. The crisp writing allowed the plot to proceed smoothly and not overwhelm the story with too much superfluous detail. That detail did threaten on occasion, but the action led to enough suspense to make it work out.Lost a star because the dénouement was wrapped up all too quickly and lost sensible momentum with Genevieve foolishly following the main criminals and leaving her protective companions with no idea where she had gone. It was entirely unrealistic that she wasn't killed outright.Despite this criticism, the next book in this rather unique series is on my list of "next immediate reading".
    • 5/5
      I think the low rating were left by neurotypicals, I enjoyed it
    • 4/5
      Doctor Genevieve Lenard is a mix of fictional characters Sherlock Holmes and Temperance Brennan and real life Temple Grandin thrown into the mix—she is a brilliant world renowned expert in non-verbal communication; or as one of the other characters calls her Dr. Face-Reader. Genevieve struggles with autism spectrum disorder, which manifests in ways that make it difficult for her to interact with people. She doesn’t get popular lingo, and if her possessions aren’t perfectly placed or someone encroaches on her space she gets upset and her mind takes her to a safe place for a time out. She works for an exclusive Insurance Company and when her boss brings her into a case involving a young murdered artist, a painting by Gauguin insured by their company, and stolen guns she finds herself being surrounded by strangers and put into dangerous situations. 4 stars for book one of Estelle Ryan’s new series. I especially loved the humorous bits of dialogue between the Doctor and the people she’s teamed up with to solve this mystery. I read this on Kindle.
