JsonConvert.DeserializeObject returns nulls

I have the following code which I am using in an ASP.NET MVC c# application

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
try
{
    var result = client.GetStringAsync(url).Result;
    APIReturn = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<APIReturn>(result);
}
catch
{
}

When I place my breakpoint on the APIReturn = .... line, and I view the contents of result, I see what looks like a valid return from the API call. I even copied the contents of the variable result and applied it to an online json tool. This is what the tool shows: enter image description here

This is the definition of the APIReturn class:

public class APIReturn
{
    public string return_response { get; set; }
    public string return_code { get; set; }
    public string return_plan_name { get; set; }
    public string return_menu_string { get; set; }
    public string return_peo_ind { get; set; }
}

At the end of the execution of the code, I look at the values of APIReturn and each field is null.

Any ideas why Json is not parsing the string?

Thank you.

Your json is an array of objects... but you are deserializing it to an object. Change the deserialization to List and should work

var list = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<APIReturn>>(result);
