For Your Own Good

bySamantha Downing, David Pittu (Read by)

The most addictive psychological thriller you’ll read this year

Teddy Crutcher has just won Teacher of the Year at the prestigious Belmont Academy, home exclusively to the brightest and the best.

He says his wife couldn't be more proud - though no-one has seen her in a while.

He's deeply committed to improving his students. And well aware which ones need improving.

And all he wants is for his colleagues - and the endlessly interfering parents - to stay out of his way.

Oddly, not everyone agrees that Teddy has their best interests at heart.

But will that change when someone receives a lesson to die for...?

Samantha Downing is totally the real deal. Wry and dark and witty and clever. I didn't think she could outdo My Lovely Wife but I think this one tops it.
