About this listen
‘A terrific story, originally told. All hail the new Queen of Crime!’ HEAT
‘A web of a plot that twists and turns and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. A page-turner, but don’t read it before bed if you’re easily spooked!’ SUN
You think you know who to trust? You think you know the difference between good and evil? You’re wrong …
The body of the head teacher of an exclusive Devon school is found hanging from the rafters in the assembly hall.
Hours earlier he’d received a package, and only he could understand the silent message it conveyed. It meant the end.
As Exeter suffers a rising count of gruesome deaths, troubled DS Imogen Grey and DS Adrian Miles must solve the case and make their city safe again.
But as they’re drawn into a network of corruption, lies and exploitation, every step brings them closer to grim secrets hidden at the heart of their community.
And once they learn what’s motivating this killer, will they truly want to stop him?
If you love The Teacher, don’t miss Katerina Diamond’s new standalone thriller The Heatwave

good read
A good book, although rather gory at times. A shocking story but a good thriller.

Compelling
Very powerful, some parts are quite harrowing but necessary. The insight into the effects of personal assault are magnificent and could be used for teaching. They are remarkable. Carers for the survivors of abuse could learn a hrest deal. With regards to entertainment value the plot is tight and a compelling read. The performance is excellent. I have pre-ordered the next book.

Disturbing Justice
I read book two first by mistake it didn’t matter but this one gave me a better understanding of the main characters. This book is about a band of despicable men who are all in positions of trust as usual. They have committed all sorts of horrific crimes on young boys and they seem to believe that their actions were justified. One victim got away and when one of the men dies after many years, he comes back to exact revenge. Will he get revenge? Will he get caught? Will he find happiness with a woman who also has skeletons in her closet

Incredible thriller
Such a great book! Excellent storyline and depth of characters. A couple of little plot twists to keep you on your toes. Recommended for anyone who enjoys a good crime drama. Perhaps not the best for the squeamish reader as there's a fair few gory descriptions

loved it....highly recommended
What a brilliant book!!! yes it may be a bit on the gory side and if you don't like that type of thing then perhaps this isn't the book for you, but if a grim murder mystery is up your street then definitely download this. The story was very well written and the narrator did a great job.

Purple passages and poor grammar spoil it somewhat
Would you try another book written by Katerina Diamond or narrated by Stevie Lacey?
If it was a daily deal or I could borrow it from the local digital library I would, but I would not pay full price for it.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
I wish that narrators would learn how to pronounce words properly. I do hate it when people say "droring" instead of "drawing".
Did The Teacher inspire you to do anything?
No.
Any additional comments?
The plot is good although a little too convoluted. I think that the author should read Val McDermid and improve her style. The characters are not really credible.

Very good
I've struggled recently to find an ebook that has not followed the usual predictable formula. The Teacher is a crime thriller, a little reminiscent of Mo Hayder but less graphic. Good plot line and good characterisation.

Fast paced
I found this book bouncing from gory violence to mundane life although none of the characters had a normal background.
I found the narration easy on the ear especially given the subject matter.
Not for the faint hearted but definitely a page turner.
