The Teacher by Katerina Diamond
3.0
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?
Overall, I enjoyed this book, there were very descriptive murder scenes, but they weren't too often. Perhaps because I read a lot of this type of book/story and I didn't find anything new or surprising.
I found some of the characters a bit cliched and there were a few times that character appeared out of thin air only because they brought something to the story.
I always like a story that switches between past and present, I find it helps build the tension as the book concludes and helps explain why the story develops the way it does. I like the plot and how the way most of the characters developed, but some parts let it down and I ended up feeling a bit disappointed by the ending.
