A really good novel which I have thoroughly enjoyed reading. I especially enjoyed the realist nature of this book - no even seemed improbably or impossible.

As well as the plot, I also liked the main character, Chloe; she was like a ‘normal’ person with personality, flaws and personal complexity.

I highly recommend this book.

This is a great solid read by an author I have not read before. With no front cover artwork yet I didn't know what to expect. However I was not disappointed! This is a great read, and the ending?! What can I say other than read it now!

Wow! That was a really good thriller and I have really enjoyed reading it. I liked the fact that a lot of the plot is quite realistic - no insane turn of events, no unplausible pllt twist... It was all neat and somehow reasonably realistic, while also... unexpected? The main character, Chloe, is the one who really makes this a great thriller - she had depth, personality, flaws, complexity.... The last chapter - no spoiler - made me wish there was another book about this character because this character's truth was just brilliant.

The Imposter

I have quite a few Netgalley books awaiting review but as soon as The Imposer was approved I started reading! That synopsis sounds insane!

After putting her last remaining family member in a care home Chloes a bit lost. All alone and struggling she finds an old newspaper article about a missing girl from the 80s..

I loved this story! Emotions were all over the place, the writing is so intense I could feel myself in the scenes. Just absolutely wonderful storytelling but also super creepy! I was getting so many red flags and couldn’t wait to see how this ended. Manipulation is a strong theme throughout the book and although I worked out the plot early on it was incredible to see Anna’s words bring the story to life and fill it out.

The ending! Oh man! The last 30% of the book races towards the end and I loved it! Explosive! This is a strong, creepy thriller and I order it ASAP! 4/5.

Really good read. Would recommend to friends and family. I could sympathise with characters (important for any fiction novel!) and looked forward to picking it up and reading the next few chapters! Interesting plot line and a good ending. Will look out for more novels by the author. Thank you.

I knew from the second I hit download I was going to adore this book. I got that feeling where I just wanted to drop everything and devour it in one sitting. The million dollar question though is ‘did it live up to my expectations?’ and my answer is ‘heck, yeh!’. This book has everything I want in a story; tension, mystery, easy to follow plots and characters I can connect with. ‘The Imposter’ delivered all that... and more!

‘Nan’ was a really important character to me. Having watched someone close deteriorate in the same way, I really felt for Chloe. I just wanted to pick them both up and pop them in my pocket to protect them.

I was forever second-guessing myself throughout with where it was all going to lead to and the finale was even better than I expected. It was fabulous. I urge EVERYONE to read this stunner of a book.

A terrific read so well written characters that come alive .Sat down to read a few pages got drawn in & read late into the night.I will be highly recommending this book& author.#netgalley#panmacmillan,

This book was a fun thriller I had finished in a day. Its characters were really meticulously created.
Narration of the story is good but I personally found it show towards the end. Overall it's a good read.
Thanks to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan Mantle for giving me an advance copy.

This was a great novel that literally took my breath away. The characters were realistic and well depicted. Highly recommended!
