I pre-ordered this ages ago and was so excited when it dropped into my Audible library. I wasn't disappointed! Tim Sullivan is a first class storyteller and the book is expertly plotted and all the characters are well developed.  I became totally immersed in the story and didn't want to stop listening.  I love how Tim continues to develop George's character and his changing relationships with the people around him. 

The book is nicely narrated by Finlay Robertson.

Yay! Another outing with George Cross and his colleagues in a snappy police procedural. I have enjoyed all the books in this series, it's been great getting to know George and his family.

“The Bookseller”, (book #7 DS Cross series), by Tim Sullivan

Solid 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

Another brilliant installment by Tim Sullivan!
DS George Cross is such an interesting character. To understand him you should read this series in order, as this book is clearly written for those who are following his development, otherwise you will not like him.

The story has a slow development, just like the other books, but the story is built on a very interesting way, which enthralled me completely. I just didn’t want to put the book down.

The premise was excellent and well executed, and the twist was brilliant.

It’s all about the storytelling. So engaging!

What I really like about this author is how consistent he is with his writing and storytelling skills.

Now I have to wait one year for his next book, “The Tailor”.
