Reviews

True characters, a fresh setting, and a good mystery – this one's got the lot * Morning Star * 'We've had sleuths on the autistic spectrum before but Sullivan's copper is among the most distinctive characterisations' * Financial Times * 'DS George Cross is as arresting as the cases he solves.’ * Richard E Grant * I enjoyed the portrayal of the ‘on the spectrum’ Cross, as well as Tim Sullivan’s writing and observational skills and the way he assembled the crime clues to deliver the story's denouement... [A] gem of a book * Crime Review * Cross and Ottey – a genius pairing * Annabelle & Grace * 'A crime novel of the highest quality, packed with twists, protagonists who leap off the page with a narrative which kept me engaged throughout . . . This is a series which I cannot recommend highly enough' * AMWBooks Blog * 'Compelling, full of twists and turns, I couldn’t put this down. Sullivan has created a truly original and endearing detective in George Cross.' * Simon McCleave * 'A really satisfying, well-told, solid investigation with compelling characters and an ending that I didn't guess. I will be looking out for more books by Tim Sullivan.' * Faith Martin * 'I am insanely in love with George Cross, a perfect detective for our time and for all time. His complexity, orneriness and dogged persistence makes for such a complete and admirable hero . . . The Patient is a cracking mystery, full of twists and surprises to the end' -- Stephen Fry 'Sullivan has given us a British detective for the 21st century who will be hard to forget' * Daily Mail * 'Superb, clever and taut' * Belfast Telegraph * 'The fact that Cross has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder makes him just as intriguing as the murder mystery' * The Times *
