Publisher's Summary

From the International number one best-selling author of the DCI Ryan Mysteries. 

A Best Audiobook- Fiction Finalist at the New York Festivals Radio Awards .

Impostor, is the first instalment in Ross's 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.

Good Listening!

I guessed the killer very early on which annoyed rather than pleased me. The rest of the tale just validated my suspicions.
Maybe I listened to a few too many in this genre.

Fun Whodunnit

I liked the characters and well read. A fun Whodunnit set in small town Ireland. Looking forward to the next in the Alexander Gregory series.

Brilliant

I found this book to be thoroughly brilliant, a great storyline, interesting characters and no idea until the end who the murderer was.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants an exciting book with a great plot. In addition the Narrator’s voice was so suitable and easy to listen to.
Thank you LJ Ross for another great story.

Dull

Slow and uneventful. Characters devoid of personality. Worst book I have had in a while. Gave it an extra star for the ending

A well paced psychological “whodunnit” masterfully narrated

Having read the reviews of this audiobook prior to selecting it, I did mot have overly high expectations of it. I would agree that this story might be a bit “thin” in places. However, I found a number of the main characters personable and quite intriguing. The story held my attention to the end.
For me this story falls into the category of light holiday reading. Interesting, involving but not overly demanding or challenging.
That said, the narration of this story was absolutely superb, moving seamlessly between narration & distinctive voice characterisation. It is likely that I will listen to others in this series to find out more about Dr Alex Gregory if they are also narrated by Hugh Dancy.

A bit cliched

It’s ok. Well narrated and a fine holiday read. But I found myself gritting my teeth through some of the dialogue and descriptions. It’s not nuanced. The hero is handsome, clever, strong, insightful. The villain is pure evil. Every other character is a lightly drawn two dimensional sketch. I can see she’s a very popular author so clearly there is a market for this type of boom but it was a bit formulaic for me.
