ETA: Okay so I was a bit of an arsehole in this review. I didn't like the book and of course my big mouth just puts it all out there. The author of this book came and "liked" this review. She did not tell me that I was wrong. That shows all kinds of class in my opinion. Katerina Diamond, I'll read your next book just because you just showed pure class. <3

With this book coming with the warning *not for the faint-hearted* I took it as a challenge. I figure myself to be pretty tough and unflinching after reading a lot of horror, graphic crime novels and serial killer chillers. Well, the book did surprise me with some of it's graphic scenes and content, concepts and torture/kill scenes that did actually manage to have me feel quite squeamish and uncomfortable.

Interesting read is "The Teacher"

It warns that this is not for the faint hearted. I would say nope it definitely is NOT for the faint hearted. If you can't cope with descriptive random violence you may be in trouble. However that aside, basically if you can cope with a bit of Hannibal Lector style you'll be fine - its a great psychological thriller, possibly with a few too many points of view but you get used to it.

So if you can get past that first scene, you'll actually have no bother with the rest of the book. But if you're prone to squeamishness, this book probably isn't for you.

I actually thoroughly enjoyed The Teacher, it's a first class thriller, and it took ages for me to understand why we were reading from so many different points of view, and who all the players were in the novel. But once you understand what's going on, it's the most amazing read! Honestly, it's truly such a clever novel and Katerina Diamond is a wicked good storyteller, and I love her flair for the dramatic and gruesome. Not only was it such a good story, full stop, but it leaves you with the worst moral quandary ever. Actually, I was entirely satisfied with the ending, but that's all I'll say because spoilers, obviously. This is one of the rare thriller novels to not be let down by its ending.

This was honestly so good. I had no idea where Abbey came into the novel, and when I did, I was gobsmacked. Gobsmacked. Ditto Parker, whom I loved. And I feared for the ENTIRE novel for his dog, Sally. ENTIRE NOVEL. If anything was to make me put the book down, it would have been dog torture, and it literally terrified me. Their story was amazing, though, and surprised me completely. The coppers on the other hand were awesome. I loved DS Grey and DS Miles. I'm hoping this is the start of a BEYOOTIFUL partnership (and maybe more?!?!?!) where they solve crimes in their own, amazing, enjoyable way.

The Teacher is a must-read. (As long as you're not squeamish, and if you are squeamish, I'm afraid you're missing out on an amazing book.) This was so not like any other thriller I've ever read before, and reminded me just a touch of the earlier Rizzoli & Isles novels by Tess Gerritsen. The Surgeon in particular. That one had me gripped and this one had that same sort of feel to it, but it's not like any of the newer wave of thrillers like Gone Girl or The Girl On The Train, or any other Girl-related book. This sits in a league of its own, and I LOVED it. ...more

My Synopsis:

DS Imogen Grey has just transferred to a new police force, trying to outrun the mess from the last precinct. She is paired with DS Adrian Miles who is just back from a suspension when a case and booze got the best of him. They will have to learn to trust each other. After a while, it becomes evident that there is no one else that they really can trust.

There is a murderer out there, seeking revenge for what happened to him many years ago. He is slowly killing his abusers, in gruesome ways. It starts with a teacher, but it seems that no matter your profession, or where you are, if you are on his list, he will find you.

Abby works for the local museum as a taxidermist, and has a new assistant named Parker. They both have a past that they are trying to forget.

My Opinions:
Okay, I’m impressed. For a debut novel, this was really good. At first I struggled because the writing is a little detailed. Her paragraphs went on forever without a break, and I found myself skimming. I hate that. However, the plot was so good, and there was so much going on, I started to make sure I read every line, because I didn’t want to miss anything.

The characters were really good (and there are a lot of them). They all had the required depth to make them feel real. The chapters jump around quite a bit to tell the story from different perspectives, and different time-lines, but it all seemed to come together.

Be prepared for gruesome, because the author certainly didn’t shy away from the gore. It didn’t bother me a bit, but I know others are more squeamish than I am.

I loved how you really felt compassion for the murderer, even knowing you shouldn’t.

I am a little confused as to why this is the Detective Imogen Grey series, as it seems it is as much about her partner Adrian Miles as it is about her. Perhaps that changes in the next book. Either way, I love them both, and am looking forward to more.

The Teacher had me hooked straight away. The first page drew me in and it wouldn't let me leave until I had finished the book. It's been a while since a book has had this affect on me.
The story is told through more than one person, skipping from the past to the present.

Thankfully that's not me but it does contain quite graphic violence even though that violence is very integral to the plot. So, if you are squeamish, then be warned as it also covers a rather disturbing subject matter in detail as well.

DS Adrian Miles has only recently returned to work after a suspension. He has been teamed with DS Imogen Grey, who also has a troubled past and has just been relocated from her previous police force. Together they set off to investigate the death of the head teacher at a prestigious boys school (where Adrians son coincidentally goes to school). When more deaths come to light, Miles and Grey face a race against time to work out why these gruesome murders are occurring and who is responsible.

It took me a while to get into this book even though it opens up with a pretty shocking murder! It travels backwards and forwards in time visiting multiple characters until it starts to settle down and the plot becomes clearer. The descriptions of the murders are pretty gruesome but I didn't think they were gratuitous, although I wanted to read with my hands over my eyes and singing "lalalalala" to block out the images and sounds I was imagining!

I adored the pairing of Miles and Grey. In fact, at times it felt like I had already met them before and I hope the author will seize the chance to write them another case to solve. I loved them as they were both flawed, messed up characters who both came with baggage but who worked together as a true team with totally trust in each other. Without them I don't think I would have enjoyed this book as much as I did. Saying that though, it is a truly difficult book to put down as there are twists aplenty that will keep the reader on edge waiting for the next mirder

The hype on social media surrounding this book will make it a sure fire best seller and although I didn't love it, it's a book that has really stuck in my head and I would be interested in seeing which direction the author goes in next.

Meanwhile, the quiet life of a museum taxidermist, Abbey Lucas, is not all it appears to be. Abbey is harboring a secret and trying to escape her past. But while she preserves the bodies of dead animals, the bodies of humans are piling up...

This is debut designed for the strong-stomached reader. Graphic descriptions and macabre memories from the outset make this a deliciously dark novel. The unknown killer is giving a cloak of secrecy, both his identity and his motive, and the clues are drip-fed to us in varying chapters. The characters are a wonderful mix of nasty and nice, each with their own quirks and agendas. Detectives Miles and Grey are a great team, with their own shame and despair seeping into their investigation, albeit unofficially. The murders are intense affairs, with lots of blood, guts and symbolism, but each with an apparent link. There is food for thought at times with a nod to the darker side of life:

"Everyone has a secret behaviour they are ashamed of, something inside that constantly tried to force its way out. We all have something that will not be denied."

A serial killer is nothing new within fiction, but this story, along with its great police-duo, is up with the best of them. A bizarre narrative is balanced by clear and concise writing, endearing characters and a clever location (I'm a bit fan of museums and all the secrets and history they hold). Katerina Diamond has created a pacy, powerful debut which will have her readers begging for more from Miles and Grey. The Teacher is ideal for fans of gritty thrillers, more murky than mundane... ...more

When Avon announced the impending arrival of The Teacher by Katerina Diamond I couldn't wait to get my hands on what sounded like a dark and dangerous novel that would lead me down eerie alleyways and round in circles as DS Grey and DS Miles tried to crack the case as the victims slumped down one by one. The cover reminded me of old-school horror, and the blurb piqued my interest immediately. Once I saw that it was available on NetGalley, I couldn't click 'request' quick enough.

I will admit that it took me some time to get into this novel. Despite the gruesome beginning pretty much as soon as this book began, as the chapters passed by, I couldn't quite get a handle on the characters being presented to me. Not being granted that much time with each of them (although to be fair, perhaps that was for the best considering their pasts), meant that before I'd figured out who was who, and how each of them were related to each other, they'd been killed. For me personally, I love to get to know a character as much as possible although as the novel progressed, I realised that Katerina had chosen to tell The Teacher in such a way and, actually, once I'd managed to put the pieces of this cryptic puzzle together, it made sense for the author to do so. In fact, it was effective in the way that it was sharp, punchy and instant. The plot moved along rapidly and once I'd got past a certain point, I flew through the remainder of the novel, gasping for breath once I'd reached the spinning end.

It's true what Avon say. The Teacher by Katerina Diamond is not for the faint-hearted. In fact, it could possibly be the most graphic novel I've read (but that's not hard really, considering I'm mostly a romance reader). The author's descriptions were enough to send my stomach turning, so vivid and real were they, and when I say 'graphic', I'm referring to the removal of organs, lots and lots of blood, vomit-inducing situations and menacing circumstances. To be quite honest, the whole back-story of this novel wouldn't sit comfortable with a lot of readers but the unravelling of it, and the vengeance that takes place alongside that, worked seamlessly. Dark atmospheres and dangerous characters made this all the more frightening to read and had my heart racing in my chest as the clues and the mystery began to slot together in my mind.

I absolutely loved DS Grey and DS Miles. They worked fantastically together despite the differences between them and the fact that they didn't particularly want to be paired up. The relationship between them had its ups and downs, but side by side they slipped between the cracks and picked up the slack on the gruesome case unfolding in front of them. The murders became worse as the number of corpses rose and, I felt, it became more impossible to put down as the pages whipped by. I was hooked, desperate to figure everything out and couldn't wait for the moment when the big reveal would come about. Katerina doesn't hold back but I felt this only added to the punch of her debut with Avon. It stands out a mile with it's poisonous cover and the story within refused to let go of me.

All in all, The Teacher by Katerina Diamond left me feeling as if I'd just ran a marathon. As I mentioned at the beginning of my review, it took a few chapters for me to get to grips with the characters but once I had got to grips with them, I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed the mystery handed to me by the author. Her leading characters were brilliantly crafted and I do hope I'll be seeing more of them both in future novels by Katerina! As a starting point for me with this author, it has left me excited to see what Katerina Diamond comes up with for her readers next.

On that note, Becca's Books is awarding The Teacher by Katerina Diamond with four of my bookish stars! Grizzly, gruesome and shocking, it really was a roller-coaster of a read.

The sub-title for this book states that it's not a book for the faint hearted. True, there are some gruesome descriptions of murder scenes, but they are fleeting and the story isn't full of them. Perhaps because I read a lot of crime, police investigations and violence type thrillers, it wasn't anything I hadn't read before. I found the underlying reason for the murders more shocking.
