About this deal

Murder and mystery are peppered with dark humour in this fast-paced thriller set amidst the spectacular Parisian landscape. This story is set in Paris, where Alex Gregory is attending a conference on criminal profiling, a field in which he is an expert.

The second in the Alex Gregory series is one that entertains but lacks the plot development or characterization of the first in the series.Following the Irish trip of the first in the series, Alex is invited to a conference in Paris , which is taking place at the same time as a fashion show. The sale of customised goods or perishable goods, sealed audio or video recordings, or software, which has been opened. He did meet a girl that he got involved with, but his guilt is so strong he refused to let it go anywhere. The author's diversion to Paris as a setting was distracting, especially with French comments that added little to the characters or the storyline.

What I will say is that now I can’t wait for Bedlam when it comes out and I have two great series to follow by this author. Hysteria is the second outing for Dr Alexander Gregory, an elite forensic psychiatrist and criminal profiler and this time she has him heading for Paris.Gregory is paired with attractive investigating officer DCI Hope and tensions arise―especially when an old foe resurfaces. I have long been a fan of another series by this author concerning DCI Ryan and his team of police detectives, set in the north of England. There's a World of books to choose from such as: Children's Books, Range includes Baby Books (0-3), Books for Toddlers (3-5), Early Readers (5-7), Childrens Story books (7-11), Young Teens (11-14), Young Adults (14-16) and Childrens Educational Books.

Having been blown away by the first book in the Alexander Gregory series, I couldn’t wait to jump into this one. Without her, their case will collapse but, amidst reports that the staff are as unpredictable as their patients, who can the police trust? When there is another victim who this time is not so lucky, the pressure is on for Alex to get to the memories locked away. Having read and loved Imposter I was SO excited to read Hysteria and I don’t know how LJ Ross does it, but each book is as awesome as, if not better, than the last! In his personal life, however, he is a tormented soul and he can often find himself distracted by issues from his childhood that can overwhelm him – invariably in his dreams.The beauty of this character is that being a psychologist he is not tied down to any one place, allowing LJ Ross to spread her wings and take Gregory to far off countries with limitless opportunity for intrigue.

As such, the first half of the book was slower but did contain most of the forensic, criminal profiling, while the last part of the book was more interesting. As silly as it sounds, stopping every few pages to translate the French dialogue into English definitely affected this. With bodies piling up and no new leads, Gregory and Hope realise they must look to the past to uncover the truth―before it’s too late. Forensic psychologist 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.There is a thread which feeds through the story that kept me completely intrigued, wondering how it tied in with what was happening. Our Adult Fiction Books, Range includes Classics Novels, Comic Books, Crime, Thriller, Mystery Novels, General Fiction, Horror, Romance, Science Fiction and War. I thought I knew what had happened and why as that is where the story was leading you to but nope, I was completely wrong. Camille hasn’t spoken since she was attacked, which means the police are unable to get a handle on her attacker or understand the motive.
