Story4.5 out of 5 stars 85
There's a serial killer targeting the streets of Newcastle, seemingly picking his victims at random but subjecting them all to the same torturous end. When the Chief Inspector on the case goes missing, it falls on DCI Ryan to track down the man who is brutally murdering women and goading the police to 'catch me if you can'. As everyone becomes a suspect, Ryan and his team get drawn further and further into the case, but for Ryan the nightmare gets closer to home than he could ever have imagined.

When a well-known British TV historian, Marmaduke Godolphin, is found murdered in the canals of Venice during carnival, stabbed by a stiletto blade, the Venetian police are eager to have the case solved and cleared up within a day—murder is bad for tourism! The police recruit the help of retired archivist, Arnold Clover. Godolphin had hired his services on arriving in Venice to help sort through some historical papers of note. These dusty documents may contain previously unknown information about the assassination of the murderer, Lorenzino de' Medici, 500 years previously.

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

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.

Six stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This book is not slow to start. I don't read what a book is about. I listen to the narrator's voice and the comments. So it's always a surprise. This was so good!!! Wish I was just starting the book. Excellent listen.

Brilliant!
This story is engaging, surprising, and leads you on twists and turns that you will not predict. I can honestly say, it's been a long time since I have been wrong about 'who dun it'. And, unlike some stories that pull a twist out of no where, in retrospect, subtly is absolutely brilliant in delivery. Speaking of delivery! What a wonderfully read book, full of engagement. Almost a one-man radio play that brings full life to the cast of vivid characters. This was an absolutely brilliant experience and I can't wait to listen to the next two in the series!

Great beginning to a new series
I am a major LJ Ross fan and I just love DCI Ryan and his team. This new series introduces the psychologist Alex Gregory.
The locale of County Mayo, Ireland is a departure from Ross’s previous books and it works well. Alex is invited over to help profile a killer in a small town. There are many suspects, several alibis, and a bunch of red herrings. It took quite a while for me to figure out who the killer was. In fact, it came as a big surprise. That’s a good book, in my opinion. And the epilogue made me exclaim out loud.
The narration was first rate. Very well done.
I am looking forward to more in this series, as long as Ryan comes back, too.

Another Storytelling Triumph from LJ Ross
I’ve read everything LJ Ross has written. Her stories and style are compelling reads for me. However, now that I’ve just completed reading Impostor, I have to add riveting to the adjectives I associate with Louise’s books.(For me, riveting is a degree beyond compelling.)
This story is intense and vivid in imagery. As with the DCI Ryan series, she’s done another exemplary level of research, but of more significance for me, Louise has again translated her research into this story in a way that moves the story at a pace with only one negative outcome—I can’t put it down and it’s ending too soon, which now it has.
This book is unlike her DCI Ryan stories, an amazing feat, because the Ryan catalog is, on its own, so worth reading. And yet, one of the benefits of Ross’s Alex Gregory series is that it differs significantly in style from Ryan. Nothing lighthearted about Gregory, which has led me to add riveting to my Ross lexicon.
Thank you LJ Louise Ross. Looking forward to new releases in December.

Enthralling tale, set on the West coast of Ireland
English criminal profiler finds himself in a small, close-knit Irish community. This is an enthralling tale revealing how much a good psychologist can analyse people’s behaviour and motives when there are no clues as to who is the murderer.

Half&Half
Positives; The narration by actor Hugh Dancy was flawless, I enjoyed listening. The setting, a small village in Ireland. I liked the lead character and his internal struggles. But...for me the story & the characters were underdeveloped & it lacked "Spark"

Forensic psychology pursues serial killer....Hard topic done with delicacy
I prefer mysteries that focus on an intelligent story with twists, good character development, a balance between action and reflection, and minimum gore- this book meets my criteria!

Wonderful new series..
Wow! Another great book by LJ Ross. And I didn’t come close to guessing who the killer was. I will definitely read the next one, when it comes out.
I liked Alex and was always wondering about his nightmares, but I did have a feeling about Kathy. And I was right about that part of the story. This had some great secondary characters.
I've listened to all 13 books LJ wrote in the The DCI Ryan Mysteries so it's nice to have another series starting.
No sex and no swearing.
As to the narration: Hugh Dancy did a great job on the narration. I would listen to him again.

Good story, narration a bit disappointing.
I expected more from Hugh Dancy, knowing him only from movies, TV.
He did a very weak Irish accent and females were so-so. Still, he was very pleasant to listen to and made a very likeable Alex Gregory.
