Resumen del Editor

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 dogged pursuit of the truth means his conviction rate is the best on the force.

An outsider himself, having been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, DS Cross is especially drawn to cases concerning the voiceless and the dispossessed. Now, Cross is untangling the truth about a young woman who died three days ago. With no fingerprints, no weapon and no witnesses, the Bristol Crime Unit are ready to close the case.

The coroner rules suicide: the woman had a long history of drug abuse. But her mother is convinced it was murder: her daughter has been clean and sober for over two years.

DS Cross is determined to defy his bosses and re-open the case, even if it costs him his career. Soon he is mired in a labyrinth of potential suspects—but can he solve the case before his superiors shut it down for good?

Narrator...

I'll be returning this audio as the narrator's inability to maintain a consistent flow in dialogue is too distracting.

One of the best listens of the year

This series just keeps getting better. Great criminal procedural and mystery... but goes way beyond that with character development and interactions. We have enjoyed all before this third book, but each has gotten better than the previous. Very clever dialogues and subtle humor surrounding the context.

Narrator

I loved the story and overall no complaints really. I did get distracted by the narrator several times on this one though as it sounded like he was new at this and not as fluid as the narrator of the last two books

A series that gets better with each book

As lovely to read as watching a rose unfold. We get to know the characters gently as clever who-, how- and why-done its are revealed. The mind is curious and intrigued while the heart soothed and happy. I look forward to the next book/audio.

Love this series

While it's a little dry at times I really enjoyed the story and the continued character development of George and his father and police colleagues. As with the prior books in the series, there is plenty of police investigation detailed as the search for the killer plays out. I hope there will be another book coming soon! Oh, the narrator was excellent too.

Another gripping read

Very well written plot, intriguing level of detail with several parallel story lines that converge very well towards the end. Excellent narration from Findlay Robertson.

In which we see a lot further into George

Can't get enough of George Cross: I can only hope that Tim Sullivan is writing another right now !

Great story with a twist

With this 3rd book, I am finally hooked-hope this series continues. Quirky, exacting and sentimental-it’s as fun to follow the detective, as it is the clues!

Can’t Get Enough

I just simply love this series, and with every book, I am more intrigued. DS Cross is such a fascinating character and I love how his mind works! This series is so different in that you do find the identity of the criminal before the book ends, but then you further are allowed into the mind of Cross, as he investigates and finds even more answers that the reader did not even realize needed to be found. I so hope Audible adds the remaining three books in the series to their selection! I have sent a request re this via email. The next book is called the Politician and I’m so anxious to get it. Highly Recommend this series. Excellent narration as well.

New detective

Always nice to find a new British detective series , DS G Cross is wonderful. Tim Sullivan is an excellent author and Mr Robertson does a great job narrating
