Before we get down and dirty with this book, let's address the elephant, (or should I say 'male god') in the room; a certain Hugh Dancy - narrator. Is it fair to say that with that face he's wasted as a narrator? He should be a supermodel, or replace the Statue of Liberty, or marry me, (I prefer option 3). His voice matches his looks, smooth and sophisticated, like hot, melted chocolate. If I tell you I took LJ Ross to bed, but imagined Hugh Dancy - will you judge me? Actually, I don't care, because I did and it was the best threesome I've had, ever! Impostor is a work of art. She's a wily one that Ms Ross. I was hooked from about word 8. Alexander Gregory is a divine creation, he's sitting at my right at my next imaginary dinner party. We've only touched on his back story, I feel I know him quite well but am chomping at the bit to become better acquainted. Off he flies to County Hoo-Haw, a rural community with barely a need for a part time police officer, to help sort out a bizarre murder. And here is where Ms Ross' conniving really comes to the fore. As each new character is introduced I was sure I had solved the murder as every single person became a credible suspect. There were so many red herrings I was worried I might slip on one on my way to the fridge. When Dr Gregory had obviously figured it out and I hadn't I became frustrated that I couldn't listen quicker! What a denouement it was - I'm not saying more in case of spoilers, but I had been listening whilst on my way to a GP appointment and had to stop the nurse calling an ambulance because my pulse was racing so fast. Then just when you breath a sigh of relief at the epilogue and are thinking, "That was brilliant", in Ms Ross storms again with a contrivance of such inventiveness you may find steam escaping from your ears. So, in conclusion, 7+ hours of hot, melted chocolate poured into your ears by a male god who was supplied by a genius writer who's pen should be registered as a lethal weapon. Would I recommend Impostor? That's like asking if I recommend breathing; of course, I don't just recommend it, I'm telling you that you NEED it in your life! So quickly, buy it now. You can thank me later.

Wow, that was a fantastic start to a new series. When I first heard there was a new series by the author I first thing was does that mean no more DCI Ryan. But thankfully not the case.
Dr Alexander Gregory is an elite forensic psychologist and profiler. With a unique insight and skill set. I was hooked from page 1 and not let go until the end . Even them book 2 description has me hooked.
Not one word was wasted, in this, wonderful emotive and descriptive piece about a small Irish town and it's people with a psychopath amongst them.
I think I have my first contender for book of the year, it will be tough to beat. Deserves more than 5 Stars.

The “Imposter” novel is the first book in the series of the Alexander Gregory Thrillers! This is a dark and mysterious psychological thriller that was really good! The setting is in a small town, where forensic psychologist Dr. Gregory gets involved with a murder case. While Gregory does this, he also starts to deal with his own darkness and secrets. This book comes with a lot of twists! Some of which I saw coming and some that I did not see coming at all.
It is a fast paced thriller that is both character and plot driven. This comes with some content warnings, please be sure to check them out and stay healthy. I found this to be easy to read and follow! I will definitely be reading the other books that come out in this series!
I think that if you love a good gripping mystery, along with psychological elements, you will enjoy this book! Overall, I rate this novel a 3 out of 5 star rating!
This gave me “The Whisper Man” by Alex North vibes. Thank you to NetGalley, author L.J. Ross and Poisoned Pen Press for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
The release date is February 3, 2026! This is a revised edition.

This is a great start to a new series featuring forensic psychologist. Alexander Gregory currently works in a high security psychiatric hospital in London but was previously part of a now disbanded psychological profiling unit that worked with the police. The murder of a young woman in a small town in County Mayo has the local Gardai scratching their heads trying to find clues or motives and Alex is asked if he could provide a profile of the likely suspect.
When Alex visits the murder scene and talks to the Gardai he believes that the well planned killing and staging of the victim, a well-loved mother and wife, suggests someone local hiding in plain sight who suffered great trauma when they were young. But with no fingerprints or DNA evidence left at the scene or that of a second murder it's hard for the Gardai to narrow down who in their community might be guilty.
I don't know enough about psychology/psychiatry to know if a profiler can determine so much about a suspect from studying the crime itself but it makes an interesting premise for a crime series. As well as Alex's interactions with the police, we also see him at work in the psychiatric hospital, in particular in sessions a very difficult patient who killed two of her children through Munchausen's syndrome. He's an unassuming character, empathetic and not at all arrogant, who listens to those around him, although suffered from childhood trauma himself. I look forward to getting to know more about him as the series progresses.

4.5 surprise find
The premise of this one sounded good to me, a psychologist who also works on criminal profiling and a case in Ireland. I found myself very invested in this one, and I read it quickly.
A troubling murder of a young mom has the local Garda in a small Irish town stumped, and the townspeople are worried. The mayor asks Dr. Alexander Gregory to consult on the case.
I really liked the doctor’s character. He has a previous failed endeavor in profiling, so he’s a bit cautious going in. He gets involved in the case's politics. The mayor has two sons who are heading up the case. Everyone knows everyone in this small town. That makes it troubling when Dr. Gregory builds a profile showing the killer is an insider, likely someone who lives in the town. Now everyone is more anxious.
We also get some insight into the doctor’s work at the hospital in London. He really wants to help people. But he’s also in agreement with the police and courts punishing those who commit crimes. I found him to be a fascinating character!
I thought I had this one all figured out, and I was totally wrong! It was quick-paced, and I finished it in almost one day. I can’t wait to read the next one in the series.
My thanks to Poisoned Pen Press for the opportunity to read and honestly review this one. Scheduled to release on 2.3.2026.

**Read 4.25 STARS!**
This remarkable crime story is the 1st volume of a new series called the "Alexander Gregory" thriller series.
At the beginning of the book you'll find a very appropriate phrase taken from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Boscombe Valley Mystery", along with excellent storytelling by the author, and which includes also a cast of very lifelike characters, these important ingredients make this book about a psychopathic murder committed by a person who's living in a fantasy world and carrying burdens throughout his/her life, a great read.
The book starts off with a prologue set in 1987, and events which will occur then with his mother and younger brother Christopher will concern our main protagonist Dr Alexander Gregory, forensic pathologist and occasional profiler, and will shape him as a person and a specialist in the future, especially when he has a patient called Cathy Jones and his relationship to her will be known at the end of the book.
In the main story set in 2017, Dr Alexander Gregory, forensic psychologist at the Southmoor Hospital in London, is called in to act as a criminal profiler for a murder committed in Ballyfinny, County Mayo, Ireland, and so assist the local Garda, brothers Niall and Connor Byrne in particular, in an attempt to find the killer of this murder.
Along the way one more killing will follow, and Dr Alex Gregory is able to find a kind of pattern and the reason of these killings, until in the end Alex and Niall Byrne will be to apprehend the surprising impostor killer, who's an organised but unstable kind of person at the same time, while Alexander Gregory will be confronted with some sad home truths of his own at the Southmoor Hospital, a home of the mentally very sick.
What is to follow is a well researched and action-packed psychological thriller, with a wonderful storyline and ending with a well executed plot, and where some home truths will be revealed in the end, both in Ireland and England.
Highly recommended, for this is an exciting begin of this new series, and that's why I like to call this first episode: "An Engrossing Psycho Killer"!

Imposter is one of the more aptly named books I have ever read.
Alexander Gregory was once, supposedly, a member of an elite psychological profiling group but is now serving as a psychologist in a hospital for the criminally insane, to use an old moniker. The author, however, appears to know nothing about psychology or psychologists. I feel comfortable in saying this because I spent my career working in applied psychology having received my doctorate from a quite well known university.
I read about 60% of the book and was determined to complete it but, it was so badly done that I was unable to push myself to do so. L.J. Ross' failings included, but were not limited to the following. He seemed not to understand the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist and sometimes used the terms almost interchangeably. His protagonist, Gregory, operated as an investigator and did not, in the portion of the book that I read, use any psychological or profiling principles with which I am familiar. He did, unfortunately, use only the most simplistic forms of "pop" psychology of the type found in the many so-called self-help books written by charlatans and TV show hosts.
The "therapeutic" approach used by Gregory in working with his patients was, at best, comical and at worst, ridiculous. In fact, the so-called therapist was downright hostile at times and at others, was just inappropriate. All in all, the portrayal could best be as wretched.
Having said all of that, I will admit that the story was interesting and I really did want to stick with it long enough to find out who the murderer was but I lacked the tolerance.

Please do read more books Mr. Dancy.
Good suspense from a psychological point of view.

Oh my days! From the opening pages of this book, I was well and truly hooked.
I don’t want to say to much to spoil it for others but I was very much intrigued with the thread to do with Cathy Jones. The whole thing to do with her fascinated me and could understand to a certain extent why Alex seemed to be almost obsessed with her.
Now I don’t know about you, but I am as intrigued as to the why’s, than just the who. Why do people kill? So for me, having a main character who is a forensic psychologist couldn’t have sold this book to me more. Whilst you feel the urgency of stopping a killer and finding out who is behind it. I knew that through Alex, we would also spend time on the why’s. Saying that though, when we find out who the killer is, wow I was blown away. Literally!
Impostor is an absolutely fabulous start to a new crime series. I loved it, loved it, loved it! It started brilliant and the ending totally messed with my mind. The journey in between just made for a compulsive read. Omg I am so excited for book two!
My thanks to the author for a readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.

I love police procedurals if they are written well. I especially enjoyed this one as the profiler is the leading character, and we start to get to know him along with the case he is working to solve.
The author created a fabulous twisty small-town murder mystery that is tough to put down. The main character is complex and reluctant with his gift. From psych hospitals to crime scenes, this is a compelling and suspenseful read.
The setting is perfect and pulls the reader in along with the secondary characters. Ross developed this story with precision and enough psychological suspense to keep the tension at the perfect pitch.
Imposter is a compelling and twisty read not to be missed. I cannot wait for more from this author. Plus, I need to go back and read her other works, too! Adding to my Best Of list!

First and foremost, a large thank you to NetGalley, L.J. Ross, and Poisoned Penny Press for providing me with a copy of this publication, which allows me to provide you with an unbiased review.
L. J. Ross is an author new to me, but whose writing has long been entertaining readers. After an elite British profiling unit is closed down, a number of highly-skilled individuals scatter across the United Kingdom. Back in academics and private practice, Dr. Alexander Gregory is free when the Garda need assistance with a murder in County Mayo. Dr. Gregory is one of the UK’s most talented psychologist who is often able to assess the minds of the most intense killers. While Dr. Gregory is hesitant, wanting to focus on a quiet life, he agrees to take a crack at things, if only to provide needed guidance. As the investigation gains intensity, Dr. Gregory will have to stave off suspicions that he only wants to be in the spotlight and show his abilities, as the body count increases. L.J. Ross delivers a strong series debut.
I am always eager to discover new thriller authors, particularly those who can hold my attention with a strong crime element. L.J. Ross delivers a strong story that keeps the reader focused on the crimes at hand while using an Irish setting as a stunning backdrop. The story builds with a variety of narrative techniques, each of which enriches the larger story. Momentum pushes things along as the mystery envelops the reader, with chapters providing an edgy spin. This series debut keeps the reader curious and eager to read on.
Characters are impactful as their backstories connect well with ongoing development. Readers are presented varied personalities,
allowing them to see all moving parts while trying to solve the case at hand. Many characters are able to push the plot along while flavouring the piece with their respective layers. Ross did well with her character development and has me eager to see where Dr. Alexander Gregory is headed with the next novel.
Surprises are core in a police procedural or thriller, as it creates an entertaining foundation. Balancing twists and surprises adds something more to the reading experience. The reader may ponder the unpredictable while trying to solve things in short order, alongside Dr. Gregory. Ross keeps story on edge and drops some crumbs to keep the reader wondering, while they eye the second novel in this series. I cannot wait to see what Ross has in store for Dr. Gregory and everyone involved.
Kudos, Madam Ross, for a great series debut thriller.

The reader may ponder the unpredictable while trying to solve things in short order, alongside Dr. Gregory. Ross keeps story on edge and drops some crumbs to keep the reader wondering, while they eye the second novel in this series. I cannot wait to see what Ross has in store for Dr. Gregory and everyone involved.
Kudos, Madam Ross, for a great series debut thriller.

This book is being re-released in 2026 after first being published in 2019. It is the first in a series that now seems to be up to 6 novels (per amazon). Not sure what is behind the rebranding as though it is a new release but this renewed push is how I came across it when it was presented to me as an ARC. I did get a thrill out of the story despite it not really being a brand new release.
The story follows an English forensic psychologist who gets asked to do some profiling for a murder case in a small Irish village. Given it is a murder mystery, no spoilers here to ruin the fun for other readers. What I can share is the characters are interesting, from the psychologist tormented by bad dreams to the meticulous murderer. I really appreciated the way that the murderer is presented, it kept me guessing who they were right up until the reveal.
The author has another successful series so existing fans are probably already aware of this book. But if not, they and anyone who enjoys a solidly good murder mystery series will want to check out the first novel of this re-branded series.

La sugestia unei prietene am încercat ceva scris de L.J. Ross, o scriitoare populară în UK și nu regret deloc alegerea. Am ales o serie, cum alta, în care personaj principal este dr. Alex Gregory, psihiatru de meserie, cu un trecut într-o ramură a criminalisticii care încă stârnește controverse: profilul criminalist. Deducem că a colaborat în trecut cu poliția ca profiler și cazul a eșuat, iar el și echipa lui au devenit țapi ispășitori. Alex Gregory este un personaj destul de complex, cu propriile schelete în dulap, iar printre detaliile din anchetă vedem și câte ceva din ce se întâmplă la locul său de muncă, un spital de psihiatrie. Când o tânără mamă, iubită și respectată de întreaga comunitate din micul oraș Ballyfinny, County Mayo, Irlanda, este ucisă într-un mod brutal, cu totul atipic, primarul orașului, mama a doi dintre investigatorii orașului, îl cheamă pe dr Alex Gregory în ajutor (nu știu cât de credibil este acest lucru, dar neavând tangențe în acea zonă, mi se pare un mic, mic detaliu). Și când dr. Alex Gregory intră în scenă, ai impresia că nu s-au schimbat prea multe în cei 100 de ani dintre acțiunea din Alienistul lui Caleb Carr și prezentul lui L. J. Ross în privința atitudinii anchetatorilor față de spijinul primit de la psihiatrii.
Cartea are acțiune, are consistență (deși este destul de scurtă pentru un thriller), are personaje frumos construite. Și are un sfârșit bun și surprinzător, chiar și după câteva sute de thrillere citite. Cu siguranță este o serie la care voi fi atentă în continuare.
Pentru această carte am ales varianta audiobook și vocea naratorului este pur și simplu magnifică. Apoi cauți și tu pe google, să vezi cine poate avea așa o voce și îl vezi. Păi să te mai concetrezi pe acțiune?? Și accentul irlandez...

October 29, 2019Unfortunately it was not a book for me.
I read Impostor to completion but, being Irish myself, I was a bit surprised at some of the inaccuracies about Ireland within the text and the story line.
The plot line was interesting but I just could not get beyond some glaring errors, in particular the continued reference to the Garda, used as the plural. It should read An Garda Síochána or the Gardaí. Also the Catholic church does not have Sunday School and the likelihood of a mayor of a small town in Mayo contacting a profiler in the UK for assistance in a murder inquiry over the heads of the local Gardaí just did not sit well with me.
Not for me I'm afraid.....

I really enjoyed this thriller!! I really hope it's a start to a series, as I feel it could absolutely grow into something great. It's a story of a psychologist that has done some profiling in his spare time, and he is asked to consult on a case. There are so many suspects, and trust me, you won't figure it out. And, there's an extra twist at the end you definitely don't see coming!

LJ Ross new series (a departure from DCI Ryan), the Impostor introduces forensic psychologist Doctor Alexander Gregory. Gregory’s day job is looking after patients at Southmoor Hospital in London but, he is called to assist the County Mayo police by profiling a killer. His last case did not go so well therefore. Gregory applies himself with increased determination to see this one through.
Gregory is a complex character and will butt heads with other people, the town mayor and the head the Garda make a difficult start to his investigation. There is a sense of a typical small town where everyone knows each other, but maybe not as well as they think. Easy flowing story with surprises along the way and the standard unexpected twist at the end.

This was an ARC read for me.
The Imposter was good and I enjoyed the read for the most part. I wasn't turning pages like a fiend to get to the end, but I did wonder who the killer was and how things would weave together. My struggle was with the interchangeable use of Alex and Gregory. It felt extremely inconsistent to me that in the course of a page the main character could be referred to as Doc, Doctor, Alex, or Gregory. Add to the fact that it is two FIRST names and it just got aggravating. In the first few chapters I had to keep reminding myself it wasn't two separate characters.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
LJ Ross is an author that I have been meaning to read for a long time now, so thank you Poisoned Pen Press for sending me a copy of Impostor. This is the first book in the Dr Alexander Gregory series and I am happy to see many many more books available on Kindle Unlimited. If you enjoy a good police procedural with compelling characters and stories then you will enjoy this book.
Alex is sent to a small rural town in Ireland to help the Garda solve a murder. Nothing much ever really happens here and they need all the help that they can get. Alex is forensic psychologist and can read a criminal mind better than anyone. The locals don’t want to believe that one of their own could have done this, but with Alex’s guidance they start to see the evidence.
This is a fast moving story that I devoured in a few hours. It certainly kept me guessing and I was pointing the finger at almost everyone by the end. The ending was very clever and shocking.
This version is published on February 3rd, but it is out now in Australia and the UK.

WOW! What a start to a new series!!
Those who know me well will know I’m a massive fan of LJ Ross and her DCI Ryan Mysteries. I was SO excited when I discovered there was going to be a new series featuring forensic psychologist Alexander Gregory and I couldn’t wait to read it. It will be released on 31st October and you are in for a real treat!
A quiet town, with a close-knit community, in Ireland is shocked by the devastating death of a young mother. She has lost her life at the hands of another and it’s clear her murder has been planned and meticulously executed. This was no random act of violence.
Alexander Gregory’s help is requested as a profiler and although reluctant he decides to assist in any way he can. Nothing could prepare him for what he was about to become involved in, but his expertise proves to be crucial in finding this killer.
Nothing could prepare me for that ending! SO clever!
I loved the characters in this book, some very complex. I loved learning more about Gregory. I loved the setting, the whole everyone knowing everyone’s business (or thinking they do) aspect of a small town. The disbelief that one of their own could be capable of such horrific crimes is very believable. There is such depth to the characters that LJ Ross writes so they very easily seem like real people to me. The plot and twists throughout the story are genius, but the characters really make it for me. Once again, I was instantly drawn in and invested in their stories.
This is another book which commanded my attention from the very first to the very last page and I will have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. I can’t wait for book 2!
A big thank you to LJ Ross for my review copy.

Dr. Alexander Gregory is a forensic psychologist. There is a killer in County Mayo, Ireland, can Dr. Gregory help catch them? This was a good thriller, perfect for a Halloween read.

VISIT THE LOCATIONS IN THE NEW L J ROSS NOVEL
You know when a top author writes a new series with a new characters and a totally new setting (where setting has in the past been key) and you wonder if this new series is going to have that same charm and interest?
Well you will not be disappointed. L J Ross has moved to County Mayo (well not really but the first in the new series is set here)
It's gripping, it's exciting with a fresh premise and a great lead character. LOTS to like here. The writing is as effortless as ever and the characters are those you immediately care about and invest in.
Out in October but put this cracking new series on your wish list!

I'm really not sure what the positive reviews are all about. Perhaps they are related to the fact that the book is available for free via Kindle Unlimited but if I had paid for this book I would be deeply unhappy. Cumbersome writing, clunky dialog, poorly written characters. The plot is twisty and quite compelling - with both Alex Gregory's 'home' life and the plot in Ireland providing some satisfaction -but a plot alone does not a satisfactory read make. I can't recommend using your time on this book with so many better-written crime novels and series available in the world.

Forensic psychologist Dr Alexander Gregory’s assistance has been requested, in his capacity as a profiler, from the mayor of Ballyfinny, County Mayo.
Liam Kelly had arrived home with his daughter after her swimming class to find his pregnant wife murdered in their home. Meticulously planned and executed, Claire Kelly’s murder begs the question would an outsider be able to plan and carry out an attack of this nature, as the Gardaí believed. Alex wasn’t so sure. That such a thing could happen in the small, close knit community has shocked and saddened the residents of Ballyfinny beyond measure.
Initially reluctant to accept the request after a profiling unit he was a member of previously became the scapegoat when a case went awry. His life revolves around his work with people legally detained by the courts for their own safety and that of others, but some soul searching and a conversation with his friend and mentor changes his mind and Alex agrees to travel to Ireland.
The flight to Ireland in the small plane was a white knuckle ride and Alex was thankful to touch down, although the sight of green hills and glistening lakes that greeted him once they were through the layers of cloud almost made it all worthwhile. Mayor Margaret Byrne was there to meet him. Her sons, Niall and Connor, are the two main officers heading the investigation and she makes it plain there’s opposition to bringing in an outsider. The introduction of a profiler, especially one who doesn’t ‘belong’, adds a different angle, one that I enjoyed very much.
Alex is a deep, complex character who is deeply affected by those he deals with, which causes him to be tormented by nightmares. He tends to be guarded and, although we do get to know him up to a point, I think this introduction only really scratches the surface leaving much to be explored in future books. I look forward to seeing how his character develops. He has an instinct for understanding criminals and the way their minds work which is put to good use in this story, despite the initial local scepticism. It’s a moving story given the murderer’s methods and the closeness of the community. The characters are all well drawn and diverse, not at all prepared for the events that develop.
The small, typically Irish town and surrounding scenery is vividly portrayed, as are the feelings of fearfulness and suspicion where before there was only a sense of community and ease. Impostor is a very well written, steadily evolving plot with a strong opening, an ending that came as a complete surprise and several potential suspects popping up throughout. Hugh Dancy’s narration is wonderful, achieving the perfect combination of tone, seriousness, and realistic accents.

4.5 Stars! What a great book, so glad to have seen a few very positive Goodreader review's on this. This was just the well-written style mystery that I have been looking for these past few weeks. L.J. Ross writes all characters well but Cathy Jones is an extremely interesting one. Almost grabs you as Hannibal Lecture did. Alexander Gregory is also very well written and believable. All characters are believable, something I've been missing in the last half-dozen books.
Well done L.J. Ross! Can't wait for #2 to be released.

Genre: Crime, Insanity Fiction/Suspense
Publisher: Poisoned Pen Press
Pub. Date: February 3, 2026
There are two stories intertwined in the psychological suspense murder mystery, “Imposter.” We follow forensic psychologist Dr. Alexander Gregory. The first story is set in a high-security psychiatric hospital in London for the criminally insane, where he works. This is his primary job. However, his expertise lies in profiling the minds of criminals. Because of his skill in understanding a killer’s mindset, he’s called upon for another job. This is how he is reluctantly drawn into a ritualistic murder investigation in the small Irish town after a local mother is found dead. And here begins the second story. Although the stories change as he goes from country to country, it is fair to say the bulk of the novel is set in Ireland.
His work in the English hospital is very interesting, and I never lost my attention, even though I guessed the twist about halfway through the novel. His work in Ireland is to find a serial killer who has already killed three times. Panic has a stranglehold on its rural community and the Garda, which is the national police force in the Republic of Ireland. They are running out of time before the murderer strikes again. The community is refusing to believe that one of their own could be the killer. Through Dr. Gregory, Ross delves into what motivates a serial killer to repeat the same murder over and over. — Fascinating stuff. I wasn’t aware that “Imposter” is the second in a series. It can be read as a standalone novel. I am hoping there will be a third in the series.

Yet another of those heroes with a traumatic past who solves a mystery. It’s one that could have been very ordinary , but turned out to be quite entertaining . It’s low on suspense, but has a well-constructed plot, and has a mystery that unravels nicely. I thought the frequent dream sequences were a little overdone, and didn’t much care for the profiler as a character, but it was a positive read and I will get around to the second in the series in the coming months.
