The Teacher by Tim Sullivan ( extract review) - crime
DS Cross is back and no one is more pleased than me! If you've not met him before (this is the sixth in the series but does stand alone) he’s a rather clever, very different detective. His social skills leave something to be desired and he is usually catered for by his faithful friend only for this case she is off having moved house and there is a new DI with him, someone who has been warned but really doesn't get Cross’s manner at all. George Cross has autism spectrum disorder which he says himself isn't a disadvantage. In this case a man has been found murdered, a man who apparently caused mayhem in the village in which he lived, complaining to all and sundry. His neighbours who only arrive at the weekend, it being their second home, have tried to take him to court but twice lost through their own stupidity. Could they have finally had enough?
I loved having this, and will be buying the whole book to find out the rest. There’s something so special about George that I can't help but love. It's so very cleverly and skilfully written and draws the reader in beautifully. A cracking read I can't wait to get my hands on.
