Summary

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.

'I am insanely in love with George Cross, a perfect detective for our time and for all time.' STEPHEN FRY

Spoilt by the narrator

I really like the DC Cross series , but i found the narrator to be terrible, over long pauses and dragging emphasis constantly really was not conducive to a good listen, such a shame as ever Tim Sullivan delivered the goods.i will be reading the next one in the series on my kindle

Absolutely brilliant

Really enjoyed all the previous books in this series, and this is the best so far. George is a really interesting character and the storyline of this one keeps him on his toes to the very last minute.
Brilliantly read.

Familiarity with surprising twists

I love the characters in this series and how they have developed over time. The plot is intriguing and surprising at times. Sensitively deals with a range of issues through a great story.

Loved it.

I really enjoy the main characters. I almost laughed out loud at times when George was being George. Good story line and I didn’t guess who did it. Hoping for more with this character. Would be great as a tv series.
