‘A terrific story, originally told. All hail the new Queen of Crime!’ HEAT

‘A web of a plot that twists and turns and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. This formidable debut is a page-turner, but don’t read it before bed if you’re easily spooked!’ SUN

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?

SMART. GRIPPING. GRUESOME.

This is a psychological crime thriller in a class of its own.

WARNING: Most definitely *not* for the faint-hearted!

Recensione

“A terrific story, originally told. All hail the new queen of crime!” – HEAT

This is what readers are saying already:

“This is a story that immediately pulls you in and doesn’t let go until the last page … The story flowed so brilliantly and made me keep turning the pages; a thriller from beginning to end. Each scene was rich and vivid; highly recommended.”

“It stands out a mile with its poisonous cover and the story within refused to let go of me.”

“A truly page-turning, somewhat gruesome read. Well written, pacy and with great characters”

“The Teacher is a fast-paced grisly page-turner and an extraordinary debut from Katerina Diamond.”

“It had me gripped throughout and certainly had my heart racing”

“A deliciously dark novel … The characters are a wonderful mix of nasty and nice, each with their own quirks and agendas.”

“A serial killer is nothing new within fiction, but this story, along with its great police-duo, is up with the best of them.”

“Katerina Diamond has created a pacy, powerful debut which will have her readers begging for more.”

Weak and badly written

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 30 luglio 2020

Acquisto verificato

I bought this book as an Amazon Kindle special promotion. It is possible that what I found wrong with it affects only the Kindle version. (If there are any other versions.)

As it appears in the Kindle version, this text seems to have been written by someone with little or no knowledge of the difference between a comma and a full stop. This is not a small hiccup: it was consistently wrong as far as I read, which was up to the section entitled The Businessman. Then I gave up as it was irritating me so much.

Granted I am a publishing industry professional, and hence particularly aware of correct punctuation. I don't think, however, that it is too much to ask that books like this should have been copy-edited by someone qualified, even if the writer is not. In fact, particularly when the writer is not.

And I am not nit-picking. This is not something that is 'a little bit wrong', a matter of taste perhaps, in just a few places. It's absolutely wrong, no argument, all the way through as far as I read. I do not often give up on books, and I have NEVER given up on one because of the punctuation before, but this is BAD.

Peter - The Reading Desk

Excellent thriller that's hard to put down

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 26 dicembre 2017

Acquisto verificato

The story is told along 3 threads. One thread is a series of brutal murders, first a headmaster of a private school in Exeter, by a mysterious figure. The following deaths becoming more and more gruesome. What is the connection and how do the victims know it’s coming? The second thread involves 2 detectives that have been paired together to investigate one of the murders. Each is recovering from career damaging incidents each coping with major physiological issues but both very good at their job. The third thread is a museum taxidermist that has a lot of issues, and a background that you’re brought back to throughout the book. She has become significantly detached from the world and her relationships with other people.

The plot is well put together and rather than being a typical whodunit with multiple twist and turns, it is more a plot being slowly revealed because it is clear, pretty early on, who the killer is and who will catch her/him. Don’t let that put you off because layer after layer is revealed as to the circumstances that formed the motivation and modus operandi of the killer, and the background to the other main characters. Each thread fits together really well and comes together at different times, ensuring the story is kept at a great pace. The characters are quite dysfunctional at times as they struggle with their past and the relationships they start to develop.

While the main plot is obvious there are other subplots and agendas being played out and it all had meaning with interrelating facets and never felt cliché. The ending is good and creates more questions that has you thinking after you’ve finished the book. I couldn’t start another book right away as I couldn’t get this one out of my mind.

This is a tremendous story and very impressive as a debut novel. I’ve already bought her other two books.

A dark and troubling tale

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 10 novembre 2017

Acquisto verificato

I really have mixed feelings about The Teacher it was a book I really enjoyed reading, but there was a small part of me that was expecting something far more gruesome, now this could be because I read such a large amount of crime books I’ve become accustomed to descriptions of murders that might turn other readers stomachs, but I really don’t think it was that disturbing or gruesome. On the other hand if you don’t like well described murder scenes this may not be the book for you I’m afraid.

To begin with I admit I found myself confused each chapter introduces new characters, so by the half way mark there were an array of characters that I found difficult to keep tabs on, but then it happened! The Teacher began to make sense and I realised just how clever the author had been, she set the scene and then cunningly bought all the characters together in a dark and troubling tale. From the title I pretty much had the plot worked out in my head, but rather like the book nothing was as it seemed and it wasn’t long before I realised I had been pretty much misdirected by the blurb.

The Teacher introduces a new partnership DS Imogen Grey and DS Adrian Miles, and I’m intrigued by the pair as I’ve come to expect in a crime thriller they both appear to be messed up, but I’m interested to see how there partnership will evolve over the series. The Teacher is very much about good V evil, I never expected to have any sympathy for a killer that could do such awful things to other people, but I did, as to the reasons why, well I’m not about to giveaway spoilers so you will just have to read the book and see.

Although I enjoyed The Teacher I did find it a slightly disappointing read, I think because of all the hype surrounding this book I expected something more, but in fairness that’s my problem and not the authors. I do think The Teacher was a great start to a new crime series, deliciously dark with an eclectic mix of characters and I will certainly read the next two books in the series at some point.

Gets better as plot unfolds

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 13 aprile 2018

Acquisto verificato

The synopsis of this novel really intrigued me and I was so excited to begin reading it. However, I was a little disappointed initially because there seemed to be many different characters here and there doing different things, which made the plot feel a little disjointed. I kept asking myself, how does this chapter link in with the last one? However, I persevered with this book and I'm glad to say that things greatly improved. Events and characters started to connect together and very soon, the dots started to join and everything began to make sense.

The descriptions of how victims died and the crime scenes were so vivid that I was grimacing as I read the gory details. Nevertheless, I loved the fact that the author triggered this reaction from me.

The protagonists' lives were explored in detail which was really good because it showed how damaged and troubled they were. As I continued to read The Teacher, I was soon addicted and was on he edge of my seat wondering how on earth the book was going to end.

I am happy that there is going to be a second novel containing the characters of Adrian Miles and Imogen Grey and I will be reading that when it is released. I would recommend this novel to those who enjoy crime thrillers. ADVICE: do not be put off by the disconnected events in the beginning. Persevere and you will be glad you did.

Why ‘The Teacher’?

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 12 agosto 2020

Acquisto verificato

Firstly, the book is quite readable. I wanted to know how the events develop and how it all ends, I sympathised with the characters as described and hope they will live a little better in the next books if these are series.

But. I cannot believe that someone committing sadistic murders is a nice decent person, they may be having a split personality but at least one of these is a vicious psychopath. Whatever has happened to the person, sadism on this scale is not an answer.

Every positive character has emotional problems. This has been a bit too tedious, I do not much like being overburdened with the characters’ personal demons.

In the future I will stick to my regular authors, this book was a one off.
