The Teacher's Pet by Hedley Thomas
5.0
I listened to the podcast as it was released and this book was a very well written encapsulation of the feeling of being part of that story.
I am so glad we’ve seen some kind of justice for Lynn and so disgusted at all of the corruption that led to her murder being ignored for so many years.
Love and power to Lynn’s family, friends and Hedley for working so tirelessly to make sure she was never forgotten.
My only qualm is how strange it was that hedley talked about how much he loved the name of the podcast and book. With all the discussion of protecting and respecting “Jenny” it’s odd to pick a title that makes her the subject. She was the teachers pet, but this is a story about a murdered mother, daughter, friend and wife, as well as a narcissistic pedophilic man and his evil deeds. The title suggests a lot more culpability for Jenny, and that’s never what Hedley was aiming for.
