From the International Number 1 Bestselling Author of the DCI Ryan Mysteries. Impostor is the first instalment in Ross' brand new Dr Alex Gregory series, narrated by actor Hugh Dancy.

After an elite criminal profiling unit is shut down amid a storm of scandal and mismanagement, only one person emerges unscathed. Forensic psychiatrist Doctor Alexander Gregory has a reputation for being able to step inside the darkest minds to uncover whatever secrets lie hidden there and, soon enough, he finds himself drawn into the murky world of murder investigation. In the beautiful hills of County Mayo, Ireland, a killer is on the loose. Panic has a stranglehold on its rural community and the Garda are running out of time. Gregory has sworn to follow a quiet life but, when the call comes, can he refuse to help their desperate search for justice? Murder and mystery are peppered with dark humour in this fast-paced thriller set amidst the spectacular Irish landscape.

LJ Ross is a self-published literary sensation whose books have sold over 4 million copies in paperback, ebook and audio. We are proud to bring her work to libraries for the first time.

I love LJ Ross books but was starting to tire of the endless drooling between Anna and Ryan so good to see an interesting link to one of the intermittent characters in the Ryan books and a new direction in the series. Was far too short though look forward to a longer story next time !

Good start to a new series

enjoyed the story very much.however, the Irish accent used by the narrator was not only poorly executed, but also the very wrong one for the region Used as background with wrong pronunciation of local towns. unfortunately, narrator only learned after chapter 3 how to pronounce Aideen. apart from accent, good narration!

good Story, very poor Irish accent in narration

this book is God sent. there's no words for how much I enjoyed it. LJ Ross is my new favourite author. I'm fighting to include more than incoherent rambling and screaming in my review. that's how excited I am.
Dr. Alex Gregory is psychologist profiler who was bitten once by the press and decided to stick to his patients, particularly Cathy Jones, who went of the rails when her husband divorced her and killed two of her three children thirty years ago. when Alex accepts to help the police -despite being bitten once- we get to see the beautiful small town of Ballyfinny, where the killer might be anyone. Hugh Dancy's voice make listening to extended descriptions of the town and the scenery pleasant (i could listen to that man read the dictionary, the way he says the word "love" is a particular favourite of mine XD).
the story takes some twists and turns. I almost wondered who Cathy Jones' eldest son more than who the killer is. at least I knew we would find out who the killer is by the end but Cathy? <spoiler> thank God the author wasn't cruel and gave us the answer. two characters were raised in an orphanage and Alex's childhood was purposely ambiguous. Alex was the "obvious" choice so I couldn't be sure because <s>these authors, I swear</s> but yes, it's Alex </spoiler>
I wasn't the only one who noticed Alex is described as being devilishly handsome with dark curly hair and green eyes which match Hugh Dancy perfectly. Dancy played Will Graham, the profiler with a knack for understanding killers who caught Hannibal Lecter. seems the author is a follow fannibal XD. well played, miss Ross, well played.

WOW
