Resumen del Editor

An eighty-year-old man is found murdered in his home. His age and standing in the community makes finding his killer difficult–why would anyone harm an elderly man? What threat could he possibly be to anyone?

With no apparent motive, DS George Cross canvases the community for potential suspects but the man was known as generous, charitable, community-minded. Each interview about who the man is muddies the picture further. So Cross decides to look for who he was–revealing a past that is far less honourable than his present . . .

Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Peter James and Joy Ellis, The Teacher is part of the DS George Cross thriller series, which can be listened to in any order.

Fantastic series...

I love these books. They would make great movies. All of the characters are interesting and add real depth to the overall storyline. The narration is perfect. Highly recommend all of the books in this series, but read them in order to get the most out of the ongoing drama with George and his family.

Another great one

I love this series, it’s one of my favorites. The newest does not disappoint. I’ve grown to love the characters and as soon as I’m finished with one book, I can’t wait for the next. Very well read.

very enjoyable series

I really enjoy the characters and how thru the books their personalities have grown. I like how George can make me laugh. DS Cross is a must if you like detective based books. The narrator is excellent and is easy to listen to. I would recommend this book along with the other books in DS Cross series by Tim Sullivan.

Brilliant Series Brilliant Book

DS George Cross is an amazing character, and he is at his best in the sixth installment of the series, The Teacher. Tim Sullivan is an amazing writer and captures the idiosyncrasy of Cross with his Asperger problem . In this book, Alistair Moreton is found dead in his home, and by first appearances it looks like he fell down the stairs; however Moreton has also been stabbed, so it is classified as a murder. As DS Cross investigates, it is discovered that Moreton was a horrible man, and tortured the boys in the school where he had previously been the head master. To make things worse, his boss brings in a DI Warner (Moreton’s son was a member of Parliament, so the powers that be want it solved immediately) from another area to lead the case; Warner is known for his quick solves of murder cases, and Warner harasses Cross and his team, as well as arrests a neighbor of Moreton without proper evidence. With Cross’s Asperger problem, this causes havoc in the department.

I love Sullivan’s writing style. He is a brilliant storyteller, and keeps readers on the edge while adding the element of humor. The building suspense is perfect for anyone who likes something a bit different. Sullivan’s characters are amazing. DS George Cross is one of the most unique characters in modern fiction and the supporting characters are also great. The UK setting for the novels is charming, and with the difference in culture, makes some of the scenarios unexpected.

Anyone who wants to listen to a series that is very different and fun will want to read this, as well as the previous novels. Most readers will hate waiting for the subsequent novels to be released. This one gets five stars.

Finlay Robertson was brilliant with the delivery of the story

what happened to Warren?

The ending leaves you hanging. What happened to the cop they arrested? They didn't close out every thing they had started.
