Reviews
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 *
