About this listen
Bloomsbury presents The Bookseller by Tim Sullivan, read by Finlay Robertson.
SOMEONE'S ABOUT TO TURN THEIR LAST PAGE...
'One of my favourite detectives.' ELLY GRIFFITHS
THE SETTING
The body of a bookseller is discovered, lying in a pool of blood in his Bristol bookshop. Police have one question: how did the man meet such a violent, murderous end in this peaceful place?
THE CONFLICT
DS Cross’s ability to dismiss red herrings is challenged by a worrying development in his personal life. Hopelessly distracted, he needs to rely on those around him in a way he has never been comfortable doing before.
THE MURDER PLOT
It may be a quiet profession, but it’s full of passionate, ambitious characters who know the value of a rare book. Their extensive reading means they also know how to get away with murder.
But is that enough to fool the tenacious DS George Cross?
Perfect for fans of MW Craven, Peter James and Joy Ellis, this is the seventh book in the bestselling series, which can be enjoyed in any order.

Sadly not the best.
I was very disappointed by this book. It wasn’t as gripping as all the previous in the series. I really struggled with it. Sadly I didn’t enjoy it as much as the others in the series.

The storyline ……
…… is absolutely superb, and shows an empathy with a family where one of the members suffers with a form of autism, and the connection within that family of all the other members. Many people still struggle with those who are on the spectrum, not least those of us who maybe embarrassed by this. It is really brave that Mr. Sullivan opens his main character in this way, but he has a tremendous understanding of all that. Apart from that, it is a great read/listen and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

These books have everything, suspense, drama, humour. Good choice of narrator. Can’t wait for the next book! It would make a great tv series.

Big changes in prospect for DS Cross
The persistent characters in the series are as well crafted as any other outstanding detective series. I hope for a TV adaptation. My thoughts for Cross: Rory Kinnear, or maybe Jack Dee?

DS Cross does it again!
I didn’t enjoy this as much as previous DS Cross but still found it a very good listen. Perhaps as we are now all more used to his strange ways I didn’t find it as interesting as the previous ones in the series. Would still recommend though.

A Must-Listen for Fans of the DS Cross Series
I have been an avid listener of the DS Cross series, and "The Bookseller" by Tim Sullivan is another gem that didn't disappoint. The story takes us into the intriguing world of antiquarian bookshops, where a seemingly peaceful community hides dark secrets and bitter rivalries. DS George Cross, with his idiosyncratic methods and brilliant mind, navigates through a maze of suspects and clues, keeping me on the edge of my seat.
While the mystery unfolds at a steady pace, the character development is what truly shines. George Cross is a quirky and likeable detective, and his struggles with personal relationships add depth to his character. The supporting cast, including his parents and policing partner, are vividly portrayed, making the story even more engaging.
However, one downside I noticed was the poor audio quality of the recording. Despite this, the compelling narrative and well-drawn characters made it a worthwhile listen.
I look forward to more adventures with DS George Cross and highly recommend this audiobook to fans of the series and newcomers alike.
