For Your Own Good by Samantha Downing
Reviewed by one of the most voracious readers we know and a long-time friend of Books & Company. Thank you, Lotte!
‘I really liked ‘My lovely Wife’ and I have to say that ‘For Your Own Good’ is also a brilliant thriller. Teddy is ‘Teacher of the Year’ at Belmont, a prestigious private school. Teddy’s resentment towards the privileged students and their parents knows no bounds and he feels entitled to exercise his judgment as he sees fit - it is for their own good! The first murder victim is the mother of one of the students and she wasn’t even the intended victim….and so the story goes.
A delightful mix of fun and thriller, the dark comedy aspect made me laugh and turn the pages even quicker to see what would happen next.
It’s a great read and the plot twists - there are many- are excellent.”
Happy Reading!
