This was a really compelling read and perfectly narrated by Richard Armitage.

This is my first book in this particular series but second by L.J. Ross. I enjoyed the setting of the hospital and it became really unsettling at times whilst reading.

I did find it hard to connect with the main character, which hampered my enjoyment slightly but thankfully the narration was excellent so kept my interest.

A solid enough read.

The is the third book in the Alexander Gregory series and for me the best so far. It finds the forensic psychologist going undercover in the Buchanan hospital to discover what has happened to missing Mafia wife Lorena. Is she genuinely mentally unwell or has she gone permanently missing before she can give key evidence as an FBI informant? Not knowing who he can trust Gregory must find the answers, whilst playing the role of patient.
You can tell LJ Ross does her research and there’s always something interesting to learn from her stories. I’m really enjoying the psychological insights from this series. She also has a wonderful way of describing locations, in this case the Catskill Forest that makes you want to visit them in person.

I listened to the audio version of Bedlam and for me, Richard Armitage bought this story to life. His narrative is clear and the character voices believable. I really hope he’ll be narrating any further books in this series.

I highly recommend this book, which you will enjoy even more if you can find some delicious cannoli to eat whilst reading.

Having listened to, and enjoyed, all of LJ Ross’s Ryan stories & the previous Alexander Gregory audiobook I was thrilled to find the next instalment of Gregory’s story available on audiobook. Once again narrated brilliantly by Richard Armitage, who brings Gregory to life, I was immediately immersed in the story, often finding myself shouting out or groaning when something happened to frustrate the easy, quick solution to Gregory’s difficulties, but revelled in the twists & turns that evolved because of this.
My only complaint is that several of Armitage’s American accents sounded similar, and his Scottish accent isn’t the best (but even this was better than the awful narrator attempts at Geordie accents which feature in the Ryan audiobooks).
A thoroughly enjoyable audiobook, gripping throughout. I really hope there is more to come featuring Dr Alexander Gregory.

Although familiar with the author this was my first experience of L J Ross and I am now a new fan! The thought of being locked away with everyone thinking you’re crazy would be terrifying but add to that knowing you have a few issues that could make that fear be more real and the mafia happily willing to kill you and there you have the premise of Bedlam. A few twists that weren’t completely unseen but were to be expected.. I particularly loved the narrator on this book and think he added to my enjoyment of this story.

Compelling! Buchanan Psychiatric Hospital is the main setting for this frighteningly convincing story. Dr Alexander Gregory, usually based in London, is persuaded by the FBI to attend undercover, as a patient, in order to help establish the whereabouts and welfare of a Mafia connected patient. Holes start to appear in what was presented as a seamless plan, and things begin to go awry not long after his arrival, making things much more complicated. I was slightly incredulous that they would choose such a mentally fragile man to integrate into this precarious role but thoroughly enjoyed the story with its constant sense of unease. 4.5 stars.
Richard Armitage is a great narrator. Thank you to L. J. Ross, Net Galley and Whole Story Books for an audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is the third book in a series, I had not read the first two but it didn’t spoil my enjoyment of this episode. Whilst visiting the FBI at Quantico, Dr Alexander Gregory and Professor Bill Douglas are asked to assist on a case involving the Mafia which requires Dr Gregory enter Buchanan Psychiatric Hospital posing as a patient. From that point on my head was in a spin, the story was horribly realistic and quickly descended into a situation which is one of my personal nightmares! I was so absorbed in the story I had to listen in one sitting, feeling a sense of disquiet the whole time. Superb writing and excellent narration.
