Teddy Crutcher won Teacher of the Year at the prestigious Belmont Academy. Everyone thinks he's brilliant.
Only you know the truth.
They all smile when he tells us his wife couldn't be more proud.
But no-one has seen her in a while.
They're impressed when he doesn't let anything distract him - even the tragic death of a school parent.
Even when the whispers start, saying it was murder.
You're sure Teddy is hiding something about what happened that day.
You're sure you can prove it.
But you didn't stop to think that when it comes to catching a killer, there's no place more dangerous than just one step behind . . .

An irresistibly dark tale of parents, pupils and poison: the American dream turned suburban nightmare
Dark, sly and delicious...totally original - and totally compelling
Wonderfully dark and twisty. I raced through it, desperate to know how it would end
I raced through this, andloved every twist and turn.Brilliant characterisation and ingenious plottingmake it an absolute winner.
I have loved all of the books by Samantha Downing, and this classroom thriller deserves an A+.Original, dark and highly addictive
I'm a huge fan of Samantha Downing, who is masterful at creatingdiabolical characters and deliciously chilling plots.An absolutely terrific book!
Samantha Downing has achieved something so special inFor Your Own Good.A story that is dark as night, sinister as hell, clever, twisting and downright fun
Samantha Downing serves up another cast of deliciously mendacious charactersin an exclusive private school setting,where the deadly action drives a brilliantly tense, taut and twisty plot. I may never look at my coffee in the same way again
Entertaining as hell, with trademark Downing twistedness. I loved it.
A slick and chilling thriller,leading readers on a dark, sinuous journey through the halls of Belmont Academy-the type of place whereyou're never sure who to trust, or who to fear.
Twistier than a corkscrew and utterly original,For Your Own Goodhooked me from the first pagewith its dark humour and no-let-up suspense
Wow! Samantha Downing has done it again.For Your Own Goodis utterly compelling, deliciously dark, and with perfect pacing that will have you racing to find out how it ends. I absolutely loved it
Adeliciously dark, fast-paced delight of a novelwith a maybe-maybe-not villain you'll secretly be rooting for. Highly recommended
Downing's spare prose packs a wallop as she deftly ratchets up the suspense with every hairpin turn of this lean, mean, surprising, and utterly propulsive thriller
So dark and twisted, so deliciously evil, it'll not only make you frantically turn those pages to find out who's targeting whom, but the wry sense of humor will have you laughing out loud, too.Another phenomenal wild-ride of a read from one of the crime-writing community's most talent authors. Bet you'll never look at high school the same way again
For Your Own Goodis a fresh take on the elite school thriller andthe perfect page turner
Witty and macabrewith a psycho teacher who is so real to me
Praise for Samantha Downing

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
You want the absolute best for your child, and everyone agrees that's Belmont Academy.
At first you were impressed by Mr Crutcher, with his dedication to his students.
But something isn't right at that school.
It starts with small things . . . A teacher falling sick. Rumours about a former pupil going off the rails. Of course, you never guessed it could end in murder.
And now you have no idea who will be next . . .
