Sorry to leave a negative review. Just for me this book was not realistic. If it had been intended to be fantasy fiction and that was how it was sold then my review would be different. I just don't believe a parent would continue to send a child to a school that obviously is very wrong and not do anything about it. Now while children come home from school and say they have done nothing this was a bit too extreme.

Very good plot, keeps you interested. I liked the mannerism the book has been written in. Approachable language and style. Well defined characters. Strong 5 stars.

Well I think I suspected pretty much everyone except who it actually was! At some points I swore I’d got it as well. Definitely didn’t see that ending coming!

(As with another review, I’m a bit late with this review (better late than never, right?) 🙈)

The book starts off well but towards the middle goes slowly then builds up to a surprising ending. There are twists and turns in the story, that you don’t see coming. However There were parts of the book that I found strange and I did not like some of the characters. This book does take a strange turn at the end that you don’t see coming.

This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

Omg wow this book is amazing it's full of twists and turns it will keep you up all night I really enjoyed this book

If you loved Behind Closed Doors, Sometimes I Lie and The Couple Next Door, you won’t be able to put down the chilling new psychological thriller from Suzy K Quinn. Don’t Tell Teacher will have you hooked from the very first page!

I really enjoyed this book and would read more from this author. May have been first but won't he the last.

I could scarcely put this down! All through I was second guessing who was up to what and questioning why?
There is no way I saw the ending coming! I didn’t even have an inkling!
A thoroughly brilliant plot, extremely well thought out, amazing characters, all in all an excellent read!

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

I received a digital arc of this from netgalley in exchange for an honest review. When I read the blurb I was intrigued and this book is a real page turner. From the first page I couldn't put it down. The chapters flowed really well and I stayed up far too late some nights reading it! I absolutely loved the twist and it wasn't one I saw coming. I won't say any more as I don't want to spoil it. You will not be disappointed though!

I thought that this was a quick and easy read with some good twists. Suzy Quinn is an author that I have wanted to read for a while now and I will definitely pick up more of her books in the future.

I would firstly like to thank Netgalley and the publishers for allowing me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I couldn't put this one down!
Told through different POV's, I was intrigued, gripped and heartpoundingly terrified for Tom from beginning to end!
While also writing an excellently-written crime thriller, Suzy also managed to highlight some very real issues such as the difficulties faced by overworked social workers, vulnerable children and domestic abuse.
Drawn into the characters and the story right from the start, and with that shocking twist at the end!?!? - this book is very much a must-read!

Gripping-full of twists and turns. Good plot, great believable characters. Intriguing, compelling with amazing twists and turns and an incredible ending. A must-read.

My thanks to HQ for a digital edition via NetGalley of Suzy K. Quinn’s ‘Don’t Tell Teacher’ in exchange for an honest review. It was published in July 2019. My apologies for the late feedback. I have since bought my own copy.

Lizzie Riley has recently divorced and has switched her six-year-old son Tom to a local academy school with an excellent reputation. It’s a fresh start for both. Yet there are aspects of the school that suggest something strange is happening. There are bars on the windows, a high padlocked fence and parents are forbidden to enter.

Add to this Tom is coming home exhausted and unable to remember his day. He’s having seizures and there are marks on his arm. Lizzie is concerned that if she complains too much that it will raise red flags with social services. She also frets about her ex-husband seeking contact with Tom, even though she was granted full custody.

I find that psychological thrillers/domestic noirs are better read without knowing too many plot details in advance. Lizzie provides the main narrative voice with input from Kate, her overworked social worker, along with a few others to provide different perspectives.

This was certainly a page turner and I found it almost impossible to put down. I felt that aside from writing a gripping domestic thriller, Quinn sought to highlight the difficulties faced by social workers with increasing demands on their time and dwindling resources.

Certainly recommended.

This is not what I expected going in at all!!! I never do spoilers and writing a spoiler free review is proving difficult so I won’t mention plot at all.

I will however tell you that I loved the characters, every single last one of them. From Kate Noble the over worked, close to burn out social worker and her overbearing boss Tessa. The Neilson kids who despite their tough exteriors you can’t help but feel for. Lizzie struggling on her own after divorce and her bat shit crazy mother.

The pacing is slower than the usual thriller but it needs it to really develop both the plot and characters so it didn’t bother me one bit and still managed to finish it within 24 hours. The story is that gripping and the need to know what the hell is going on at the school will keep you flicking the pages furiously.

The last third of the book the pace and tension intensifies until you are left jaw slacked as all is revealed.

I recommend this to readers who love a character led thriller

Ooh this is a tense one.
A very modern thriller, cleverly written with some great twists.
It's an easy read and one that took up my whole weekend on the sofa.
Many thanks for the copy.

A fab read, kept me guessing throughout! Highly recommended. I couldn't stop reading and raced through it in one day. Can't wait for more from the author!

Not one I can really recommend as I found it too plausible. The boy sounded much older than the age he was supposed to be and the school was almost a farce.
