Henry Bins has a sleeping disorder named after him. Henry sleeps 23 hrs a day and is only awake from 3 to 4 a. m. regardless of the time zone. So in order to have any kind of life, he has to regiment his time very carefully—every second counts. Then one day, his life is turned upside down when he hears a woman scream from the apartment across from his. When he goes to investigate, he finds a dead body.Despite the improbability of Henry Bins and his disorder, I found it very easy to suspend my disbelief and just enjoy the well-crafted story. The characters were well fleshed and unique and the plot was a doozy. So kick off your shoes, leave your skepticism under a rock, and enjoy the read. I see some people complaining about how unrealistic this book is and how could someone only be awake for one hour of a day. He has a sleeping syndrome where he is awake only from 3-4 a.m. His cat acts like a dog, even the calculating the distance from D.C. to Vegas and how could he not pee all day without a catheter. Why pick on things in this book? Do you also complain about books with zombies, wizards, ghosts? How about the sparkling vampires that everyone went crazy for awhile back? Are all of those things realistic? I love cozy mysteries but how many everyday people actually solve a crime for the police? Does that mean they are bad books too? Of course not.If a book entertains me and adds enjoyment to my life while reading it, who cares if the guy jogs during that hour, tries to solve a mystery or plays cards? Maybe he wears Depends. I for one don't care as long as I like the book.Everyone is entitled to their opinions but I couldn't believe how rude some of the comments are. I too come across books I don't like but see no reason to be so nasty about it. And this one I liked and no, I am not a friend or relative of the author. Just a reader who enjoyed the book.This was an interesting storyline, different from the usual mysteries. The character was fun and who couldn't love a guy who adopts a cat and treats it like all true caring cat lovers do?I came across this book for free and was thoroughly entertained by it and have plans to read more about Henry and Lassie. I recommend it if you are looking for entertaining read!
