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. When a ravaged body is found in a local demolition site, it is 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? Cross mounts an investigation that will uncover jealousy, ambition and a family tearing itself apart - an investigation that could cost him his career....

Love it all

I really like everything about this series. The characters, story line, and especially the way Asperger’s/Autistic traits are portrayed, showing both the positive and negative aspects of neurodivergence. I hope to see more development of the supporting characters as the series progresses.

Great story. Interesting characters

Really good story line with believable characters. Interesting to view a crime through the eyes of a detective with high functioning autism. Made me smile a lot- and had lots of twists and turns to keep it interesting. Looking forward to the next one in the series.

Genius

Careful with George Cross Mysteries. You WILL get hooked and WON’T be able to put them down.
Tim Sullivan writes in a way that sounds so real. There are no artifices, he writes, in a way, as his Cross character does everything: the obvious, the right way. His depiction of Cross’ autism is brilliant. As an adopted Bristolian, I also very much enjoy the background notes to the stories.
The performance is also brilliant, by the way.

The characters are amazing so good, and a simple story line but beautifully written and told so pleased I found these books by chance a real surprise, and a joy to listen too.

Really well written

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.

Twisting and logical

Glad I fell on this series of books really enjoying them. The writer has a great way of holding you in suspense until he is ready to reveal all.

Fantastic

I do like it when you get a good detective story and i do like the Idea of DS George Cross, however sometimes i felt it was a bit repetitive from the first book telling us about his character and in a series i do not think its necessary to repeat other wise thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the way he traps the guilty party and you see the crime coming together and how they did it
