(48)For Your Own Good by Samantha Downing

Sunday, September 12, 2021

 



Belmont Academy is a prestigious prep school full of dedicated staff and highly motivated students. Teddy Crutcher is a seasoned teacher who has even won the "Teacher of the Year" award. All Teddy wants is for the students to live up to their potential. Is that too much to ask? When people around the school end up dead - murdered, Teddy is very careful to not let it distract him from his mission. The students. Teddy ignores the meddling parents and the pesky police to keep the focus where it should be - the students. Will they be able to find out who is at the root of the murders without interrupting Teddy's mission?

Samantha Downing is such a gifted storyteller. For Your Own Good is an intricate thriller about an elite community. The teachers, the students, and the parents are all entitled in their own way. Belmont Academy is full of people that I would rather avoid. I didn't find myself attached to any of the characters, but I couldn't stop reading. CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS.


Bottom Line - I have been recommending For Your Own Good to all of my teacher friends. Don't we all have a little Teddy Crutcher in us?
