About this listen

Introducing your new crime thriller fix: Bristol detective DS George Cross, champion of the outsider, the voiceless and the dispossessed.

DS George Cross can be rude, difficult, and awkward with people. But his unfailing logic and relentless pursuit of justice means his conviction rate is the best on the force. So when a ravaged body is found in a local demolition site, it's up to Cross to piece together the truth from whatever fragments he can find.

The demolition began at dawn. Walls knocked over. Twisted pipes uprooted. Window frames smashed. A dead body unearthed...

DS Cross has little to go on, but from the faint tan lines on the body, and strange scars on his forearms, an identity gradually emerges: a young man; an amateur cyclist; a supply of performance enhancing drugs. But what led this man to his death? Soon, Cross has mounted an investigation that will uncover jealousy, ambition and a family tearing itself apart... An investigation that could cost him his career.

I'm a fan of good grammar. This series of books isn't just well put together and compulsive listening but well and correctly written. The narration is also very good.

Really well written

Very good story line now onto the next in the series hope it is as good.

A good read

I love the George Cross series but am now finding them a bit repetitive and need the situation to move on a bit but understand that people with Asperger’s like the same patterns so I suppose it’s unlikely!

Love the character

Appreciated the length of this book, not as much waffling as in first book. Understand why it is thought necessary to repeat George’s back story and that of his father but find it irritating as it doesn’t really aid the plot.
Still recommend it and will listen to the next in series. Have to admit I would probably skim read the repeated parts if reading 😂.
Enjoyable escape that is not gory

Enjoyable second book in series
