Reader raves
"Thank you for bringing George Cross to life and into our lives; please, please keep going."
"George Cross is now my new favourite literary detective."
"I have Aspergers myself and I'm in the constabulary in the UK. I think people often believe that people with autism can't do these kinds of roles and it's really great to have more media/literature showing autism and other disabilities not as a disadvantage but as something quite positive and in the case of George, a gift."
"I love George Cross and colleagues and family."
"Couldn't put this one down, and can't wait for the next one."
