Forensic psychologist Alexander Gregory is drawn into a murder investigation running through Paris during fashion week in LJ Ross's second series entry.
The novel keeps its attention on criminal psychology, profiling and the pressure of an unresolved case rather than on graphic detail, and the Parisian setting supplies both glamour and claustrophobia. Chapters are short and the plot keeps moving, which makes it approachable for readers meeting the series here rather than at the first book.
The essentials:
• Second book of the Alexander Gregory thriller sequence
• A profiler protagonist working from behaviour and pattern
• Paris setting during the city's fashion week
• Restrained approach to violence, with tension carried by pace
Suited to crime and thriller readers, including those new to the series, available at Boipoka.
