Publisher's Summary

From the international number one best-selling author of the DCI Ryan mysteries.

Hysteria is the second instalment in Ross' brand-new Dr Alex Gregory series, narrated by actor Hugh Dancy.

Recently returned from his last case in Ireland, elite forensic psychologist and criminal profiler Dr Alexander Gregory receives a call from the French police that he can’t ignore. It’s Paris fashion week, and some of the world’s most beautiful women are turning up dead, their faces slashed in a series of frenzied attacks while the world’s press looks on.

Amidst the carnage, one victim has survived, but she’s too traumatised to talk. Without her help, the police are powerless to stop the killer before he strikes again - can Gregory unlock the secrets of her mind before it’s too late? Murder and mystery are peppered with dark humour in this fast-paced thriller set in a spectacular Parisian landscape.

Interesting but predictable

I did enjoy this book but it was a bit predictable and obvious in areas of the main plot

This was ok sort of strange about double personalities. I’m not sure I would suggest anyone read it but ........

Unusual

Slightly unbelievable but I enjoyed it and was able to follow the characters and story line something I find difficult and annoying in some intricate psychological thrillers I’ll look for more By same Author

Dr Alexander Gregory - Hysteria

I really enjoyed this book, as I do with all LJ Ross’s work. I’m working my way through this series one after the other and find Alex Gregory such a different character. The way his early childhood trauma has affected him, helping to make him the brilliant clinical psychologist and criminal profiler that he is, is unique and truly remarkable.
I’d highly recommend this series wholeheartedly.

Fantastic

I love LJ Ross's writing style and believable characters and this book does not disappoint and I am growing very fond of the damaged Dr Alexander Gregory!

Fascinating

An excellent psychological mystery. The mental health issue was probably resolved far sooner than it would be in real life, but the story was very well done.

Deadly dull.

This book was a huge disappointment after Impostor. I had to listen to it twice as I kept falling asleep, so uninteresting were the characters. The unfamiliar sounding French names didn't help either; I couldn't remember who was who. It may have become more exciting toward the end but I couldn't hang on that long.

Excellent narration

Basic storytelling with shallow characters saved by enthusiastic narration. Hugh Dancy’s articulation and voices are impressive.
