Tim Sullivan has pulled off the ultimate conjuring trick: an
absorbing plot with an engaging detective I’d follow to the ends of
the earth. Just brilliant!
*Marion Todd*
A brilliantly old-school detective with a modern twist . . . from
the complex emotion of his private life to the razor-sharp detail
of the police investigation. Spot on!
*Russ Thomas*
Tim Sullivan’s detective, DS George Cross, is autistic. His
approach to investigations is unorthodox . . . he works
surprisingly well as a fictional character, processing clues in a
way that recalls Poirot’s “little grey cells”.
*Sunday Times*
An extremely accomplished, traditional mystery in the PD James mode
. . . this well-plotted and paced novel is an absolute treat
*The Irish Times*
Sullivan writes in a grounded style with an eye for detail that
makes you pay attention . . . an intriguing and entertaining read
and we don’t often see Bristol and the West Country as a setting
for crime.
*Crime Fiction Lover*
Another tour de force... The Monk is the fifth George Cross novel –
which can be read in any order – and if you're looking for a great
crime series you can't do much better than this. George Cross is an
absolute delight.
*Bishop Stortford Independent*
Top-notch Brit crime
*Peterborough Telegraph*
I loved The Monk. A clever mystery full of tension but also humour
and compassion. George Cross is becoming one of my favourite
detectives.
*Elly Griffiths*
In DS George Cross, Tim Sullivan has created a character who is as
endearing as any I’ve ever come across in this genre. His quirks
are his gift, and with Sullivan’s tremendous plotting and superb
writing, this series is a gift to readers.
*Liz Nugent*
A gripping, atmospheric police procedural with an intriguing
detective and an excellent foil in the shape of his longsuffering
partner DS Josie Ottey.
*Guardian*
