Reseñas de la Crítica

"LJ Ross keeps company with the best mystery writers." (The Times)

Hysteria

As usual I found this book to be excellent, slowly getting used to the new Alex Gregory, as I am a staunch fan of DC Ryan. I am sure I will get to love him as well. The story was excellent and gives an insight into the minds of split personalities. Hope to read many more books, just please don't give up on DCI Ryan. The narration was excellent.

Fascinating and informative

The subject matter was unexpected - and helpful - on many levels. The author and narrator are 5 star.

Good listening..

Great book! Alex Gregory was in Paris to give a speech when he was asked to help solve an attempted murder, and then a murder.

He did meet a girl that he got involved with, but his guilt is so strong he refused to let it go anywhere. And speaking of guilt, I’m getting tired of this guilt-trip he’s been on in the beginning of this new series. If this continues, I will definitely quit reading the Alex Gregory books. I’ve listened to all the DCI Ryan stories, all 14 of them, and never had to suffer through Ryan suffering through all kinds of guilt and I don’t want to do it in this series.

There was no romance or sex and no swearing.

As to the narration: Hugh Dancy is a good narrator, both his voices and his reading emotions.

Amazing story and narration

Alexander is an intriguing protagonist and I was very excited to read the continuation of his story from Imposter. The story is suspenseful and well-written. I did not expect the twist at all and I can’t wait for the next book!

Hugh Dancy is a fantastic narrator. Top notch narration, wonderful portrayal of each distinct character along with his mastery of different accents make this series a very enjoyable listen.

Good book, but not my favourite

I was half expecting to listen to a book narrated in French from some of the other reviews, but no.. Just some French Street names & things, so I don't know what people were complaining about.

The book itself way enjoyable but not the best she's written

Worth the listen!

Good story line.
Love the narrator voice!
Would definitely recommend this as a listen or read!

Don't miss this one!

I loved the interplay between Alexander Gregory and the French Police officer. Very touching relationship being rolled out and developed with his mentor. Great story lines with rich layers of differing relationships makes the protagonist a 3D personality.
Great to have been given an insight into his vulnerabilities so that we can work our minds around figuring out the effect of each new character in the upcoming stories.
I am really excited to see what LJ Ross has for us next.
If she keeps this up she is going to make heself a classic.

Good

I found the book interesting. He could have developed his characters more and had a longer and more interesting book. On the whole I did like the book and would recommend it

good

I enjoyed this story a lot, if I have any complaint it's a fairly small one, some of the verbiage is in French with no English translation. I would of liked to of known what was said a couple times, but was sort of able to figure some of it out. but other than that I loved this book looking forward to the next

A quick read with subtle overtones

The story begins as many mysteries do with multiple layers that develop into several suspects. A few twists near the end and the story is nearly wrapped up...but wait, there is more to come.
