Summary
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.

A tremendously great book! Guessed the killer very early but the story and the ending oh my gosh the ending was amazing!! Narrator was also wonderful!

Loved it!

Profile Avatar Joanne G. Oct 2023

I really enjoyed this book, it held my interest the whole way through and I completed it over a couple of days. The narrator was excellent in my opinion. He voiced the characters well and switched between Irish and English accents smoothly and easily. I had an incling of who the murderer was before the end but can’t say in all honesty that I got it because I had a couple of “possibles” in mind. The ending was very good. I highly recommend this book.

Profile Avatar Linda B. Aug 2023

Very good book, kept me guessing and was surprised at the end. Will definitely read more of this series.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2023

Entertaining, but felt a bit derivative / unoriginal at times though - not my favourite genre, so I am a little hard to please in that regard. Even so, I would listen to Hugh Dancy`s wonderful narration of just about anything.

Profile Avatar Judi Jeanotte Apr 2023

Good characters, intriguing plot with a surprise twist. Great narration. Who could ask for anything more?

Profile Avatar Jared O. Apr 2023

Kept me guessing.

Profile Avatar Rhonda M. Mar 2023

Great book. Thought I knew the killer 3-4 different times. Would definitely recommend this book.

Profile Avatar Angie M. Mar 2023

Best mystery I’ve read in a long time! Kept me interested until the end, and I kept trying to guess the killer (never did). Hugh Dancy did a great job, I love when actors bring their skills to narration. Highly recommend.

Profile Avatar Nancy Mar 2023

A very good story that kept my interest and had a twist at the end.

Profile Avatar Tracy A. Mar 2023

Decent who dunnit, held my interest and was an easy listen. Hugh Dancy did a great job with the various voices helping me to differentiate the characters by voice.

Profile Avatar Amy D. Mar 2023

I admittedly struggle to find something in the VIP section that interests me. While I tend to prefer literary mysteries (PD James) or funny ones (Christopher Brookmyre), unlike other mysteries I've tried, this is the first VIP selection I've listened to all the way through.

Profile Avatar Russ W. Mar 2023

The plot is not convoluted but that doesn't make it less exciting rather it's streamlined and really builds up pace, eventually hurtling towards what you expect to be the final reveal - and then there's another one which bowls you over. Very skillful writing and excellent narration, would definitely read more from this author.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2023

Great narrator and book. Would have given it 5 stars but the author kept switching back and forth on the main character's first and last name that at one point I thought Gregory was his first name or another character.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2023

Enjoyed listening to this book

Profile Avatar Mary S. Feb 2023

Good who done it mystery. Great narration!

The book had me riveted from the start! So much complexity and suspense. The Narrator was superb- voicing each character perfectly! I highly recommend this book/Audiobook!

My new favorite writer! Loved listening to it and want to pursue the series.

Profile Avatar Tina R. Feb 2023

I thought this was good story. I actually didn’t figure out who the killer was .

Profile Avatar Bruce P. Apr 2022

Well paced writing. Keeps you guessing who done it. Narrator did well with the Irish accent for many of the characters.

Profile Avatar Marion S. Apr 2022

Really enjoyed this book. It’s well written and the narration is great. Looking forward to reading the next one.

Profile Avatar Melanie M. Apr 2022

I wouldn't say this book is particularly special in any way, but I gave it 5 stars for being satisfactorily entertaining. The story moves quickly and is interesting, albeit a bit predictable, but overall I found it a fun/easy read. The narrator was good at distinguishing characters with accents too.

Profile Avatar Carol G. Mar 2022

This book was great! Dr. Gregory is competent, brilliant, and very likable. The story is well written and flowed well. I highly recommend this author and this series. I've already ordered the second of the series.

Profile Avatar Alisa C. Feb 2022

Really enjoyed this book. The mystery was well thought out and the ending did leave me wanting to read more from the main character.

Profile Avatar Maree G. Feb 2022

Great book. Suspense and great storyline.

Profile Avatar Kristen L. Feb 2022

This book was okay. I enjoyed the story, but not the preaching! Not for God, but against Him... Also the determination that all people are a victim of their circumstances rather than responsible for their own actions... I am not against people believing these things, but I don't think exposition of these views belongs on the pages of fiction. Leave that to the halls of philosophy.

Profile Avatar Laurie R. Jan 2022

Enjoyed.

Profile Avatar KristenLeigh Nov 2021

It was slow going at first but then I was hooked! Loved the ending! Definitely interested in the authors series of Alex Gregory.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2021

Great story. Good narrating.

Profile Avatar Kenneth D. Oct 2021

It was a good listen. I certainly did NOT figure who the guilty party was.........not even close>. The narrator was very good also differentiating between a British and Irish accent all the way through the book.

Profile Avatar Colman K. Oct 2021

An enjoyable first outing with author LJ Ross and the opener to her Alexander Gregory series, Impostor. A young married mother is murdered in a small village community in Mayo. The police are clueless and send for London based psychologist, Alexander Gregory to help build a profile of the killer. I enjoyed the setting for this one and Gregory's involvement in the investigation, which seems to be very much a family affair. The matriarch, Maggie Byrne is the town's mayor and her two sons, Niall and Connor work for different branches of the Garda Síochána and are heavily involved in the investigation - too close probably. We have a further murder and Gregory's thoughts on the killer's motivation and issues. There's a flip-flop back to London and Alex's daily life and patient case load. Back in Ballyfinny, we have a growing list of possible suspects, including the Mayor's sons, a local priest and some other characters we meet from the small village. When the revelation came as to the killer's identity, it wasn't someone I had previously considered, though it wasn't quite so left field that I felt the author had taken liberties. Overall, I enjoyed the story and the narration was good. The outcome was credible, the characters well developed and the book carried along at a decent clip. LJ Ross is definitely an author I'll be reading more of in the future. 4 from 5 Read - (listened to) October, 2021 Published - 2019 Page count - 311 (7 hrs 3 mins) Source - Audiobooks Fomrat - Audible

This was a good book to listen to, kept me listening. There were some twists and turns that threw me, some that didn't, and some that had me rolling my eyes. Even so, it was a good audiobook to listen to, especially on a long drive, and worth the investment.
