Summary
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.

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.

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.

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

Another great read by Tim Sullivan
I enjoyed this book as much as The Dentist with excellent narration and all of its twists and turns. I love the steady style and the humour surrounding Crosses attempts to comply with acceptable norms.

Great characters
My first book with detective Cross whose quirks I found both endearing and irritating, much as his colleagues do. I've only knocked off a star because there's an incident where the persons affected say they do not want to "press charges" and someone as particular as Cross would have picked up on this and explained that in the UK, unlike the US, there is no such thing as the public pressing charges; it's up to the police and the CPS.
