I enjoyed the first book in this series, but I just couldn’t connect with this new cast of characters and Parisian background. Back in London after a dramatic trip to North America, Doctor Alexander Gregory finds himself without an occupation while he awaits the all-important decision of the disciplinary panel at Southmoor Hospital. I'm really looking forward to seeing what comes in book three, and hoping that this series will continue on as Gregory is a character who has a lot to give. Needless to say it did, with the author using her skill to pull all loose ends together in a very satisfying way. Certainly the storyline reflects a number of revelations that have come out about the entertainment industry as a whole in recent years - the whole 'Me Too' movement being reflected in the women's rights protests which take place in the story.With it being Fashion week in Paris there’s lots of models in the city and the victim was one of them. This time around the action moves from Ireland to France, with Gregory and his mentor, Bill, speaking at a conference in Paris. LJ Ross is an internationally bestselling author, whose books have sold over 7 million copies worldwide.

Dr Alexander Gregory is in Paris with his mentor Professor William Douglas, giving a speech about criminal profiling at the request of La Police Judiciaire, during what happened to be fashion week.

It is also important to ensure that, when using a foreign language (in this instance French), that it is correct and authentic throughout (which it isn’t at times in this book – the accents, for example, had a whale of a time 😉). 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.The author LJ Ross’ work is synonymous with Northumberland and Tyneside, where she sets her DCI Ryan mysteries. Each character we meet has their own demons to battle, their own secrets that they are reluctant to share, each one of them drip fed to readers building tension and expectation perfectly. This series differs in that the storyline isn’t just written as a straight forward police procedural, but also through Alex’s perspective—so we are privy to the profiler/pyscologist insights into the impact on the victim and the lasting effects of trauma. Murder and mystery are peppered with dark humour in this fast-paced thriller set amidst the spectacular Catskill Forest.
