I'm finding the Alexander Gregory books a little harder to get into, probably because he's pretty much the only character that's in all of them. I struggled with some of the French language in this one too as I failed my French 'O' level 45 years ago and have barely touched it since! At the end of gregory's lecture, they are summoned by the Brigade Criminelle, the French equivalent of a Major Investigation Team, to attend the main Police Headquarters where they are asked to consult on the case of a vicious attack. 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. 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.What I love about this series is that it takes us beyond the normal everyday process of a police investigation and allows us more of a glimpse into the minds of both the victim and the perpetrator. 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.

This time around the action moves from Ireland to France, with Gregory and his mentor, Bill, speaking at a conference in Paris. Beyond Gregory’s inner turmoil, we meet a number of troubled souls, all caught up in the fashion world. Hysteria is book two in the Alexander Gregory series and every bit as exciting and engrossing as book one. His early years’ experiences have conditioned him to believe that he cannot rely on others, his work is his be-all and end-all.

Dacă în primul volum el este chemat în Mayo County, Irlanda, de data aceasta va fi invitat să asiste un caz din Paris, chiar în timpul săptămânii modei, când modelul unei cunoscute case de modă este găsită grav rănită în camera unui hotel. Whilst the first victim is not killed, she is very traumatised, and it is up to Alex to see if he can unlock her memories of the attack. He did meet a girl that he got involved with, but his guilt is so strong he refused to let it go anywhere. With this being fashion week in Paris and the victims being models, the investigation leads Alex into the high pressure world of fashion and down paths he could never have guessed at. The story also encompasses relevant issues concerning women in the working environment where men are in positions of power.
