About this listen
To find a murderer, you need a motive . . .
THE DETECTIVE
DS George Cross has always wondered why his mother left him when he was a child. Now she is back in his life, he suddenly has answers. But this unexpected reunion is not anything he's used to dealing with. When a disturbing case lands on his desk, he is almost thankful for the return to normality.
THE QUESTION
The body of a monk is found savagely beaten to death in a woodland near Bristol. Nothing is known about Brother Dominic's past, which makes investigating difficult. How can Cross unpick a crime when they don't know anything about the victim? And why would someone want to harm a monk?
THE PAST
Discovering who Brother Dominic once was only makes the picture more puzzling. He was a much-loved and respected friend, brother, son—he had no enemies. Or, at least, none that are obvious. But looking into his past reveals that he was a very wealthy man, that he sacrificed it all for his faith. For a man who has nothing, it seems strange that greed could be the motive for his murder. But greed is a sin after all . . .

Good story, annoying mispronunciations
The narrator largely does a good job of voicing the different characters but the mispronunciation of common words is irritating.
In the previous book in this series he pronounced hyperbole as “hyper-bowl” and in this one says Benedictine (ben e dic teen) as “ben e dic tein”

5th in series, as good or better than previous books
I loved this book, as I have all the books in the series. Brilliant narrator, he is the voice of George Cross, for me.

A sensitively written suspenseful mystery
I really appreciate the sensitive manner in which Tim Sullivan writes his novels about his erstwhile successful detective, DS George Cross. George's success is often due to his dogged approach, due much to his autism spectrum character.

Fascinating Possible Unrealistic Gifted Detective
I love the character development of the central protagonist. I do not know how authentic the description of high-functioning autism behaviour. Editor could add authenticity by correcting grammar:at least for Cross's character.
