KATERINA DIAMOND THE TEACHER BOOK YES The story of Parker who was abused by his grandfather and others in a cult who also murdered other boys. A parallel story of Abby who dropped out of university after being raped by 2 boys. She works in a museum where Parker comes to help out. Imogen & Adrian are the police officers who solve the case. Quite a good read, bit gory. Not really the best, but not really bad either; just average. Yes, the plot itself is great and in some ways really wonderful shown, but over the half of this thriller I didn´t know exactly with whom I was dealing. So I leave it up to you, if you want to read it, or not. It felt like everything was imploding on me. I was stranded,” recalls the 57-year-old today. “It was a whole new world for me. I was scared to talk to people. I couldn’t tell them what I’d been doing for years. The Special Forces world is all cloak and dagger, no one knows who you are or what you are.” Sadly, this is often when mental health issues start. Stepping off what he calls “the crazy train” of SAS service, the dissipation of that high-octane lifestyle, run on adrenaline and fear, can leave service people with too much thinking time.
