About this listen

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.

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.

LJ Ross does it again!

I listen to books on Audible every day!
LJ Ross and his DCI Ryan series are some of my most favorite but Imposter is even better.
I can’t say anything negative about this book and I can’t wait for book #2 in this new series!

Hugh Dancy is a brilliant narrator!!!

Excellent story! Very entertaining and suspenseful. Additionally, there is no better orator than Hugh Dancy. His narration and character depictions are brilliant! Highly recommend!

Good first instalment of a series

Good first novel of a series. I like these kind of mysteries where the focus is the psychology of why the person committed a crime. Police procedurals that focus just on the evidence for me are very boring and this is way better.
Has a complex main character as well and I did not see that ending coming!

Wasn’t Expecting It

I wasn’t expecting this book to be so good or that I’d like it as much as I did. I’ve read one or two LJ Ross mysteries, but they I don’t remember much about them. I’ll definitely search out more after reading “Imposter”!
