The Imposter by Anna Wharton is a psychological thriller that tells the story of a young woman Chloe. Chloe works as a newspaper archivist and cares for her nan. Her life has become difficult with her nan starting to forget her present and seems to be stuck in her past. While things might be difficult at home, Chloe enjoys her work and loves reading about different people’s lives as she collects newspaper clippings. One story, in particular, catches her eye and she seems to have trouble letting go of the story. She starts to get obsessed over the story and goes on to make decisions to uncover the truth about the story. The story is of a young girl Angie who went missing as a child. After a few things change drastically in Chloe’s life, she decides to answer an ad put up by the couple. She starts living in their house and finds out that things are not at all like what they seem on the outside. The more she digs the more convoluted things get. Can Chloe figure out the real story behind the young girl’s disappearance?
This was such a pleasant surprise that I did not think I could have predicted how the story progressed. The plot progression was slow and I was following her thinking maybe things are going to go one way to only realize that I was completely wrong. The bafflement on my face was real and it changed my perspective of the book and everything made perfect sense.
Even with the slow progression, I wanted to know what was going on with Chloe. Chloe’s overall presence feels at times was like a ghost who was untethered and disconnected from this world and floating on by. There was this eerie, creepy feeling that was shrouding this story and captivates you and pulls you in wanting to know the mystery behind the young child’s disappearance. Things are more sinister than what they seem on the surface.
Overall, be ready to be surprised and don’t be put off by the slow crawl Chloe does through the story. You will be rewarded in the end and it’s going to be so worth it for sticking it with the story. If you love psychological stories with a well-crafted character and a mystery plot, you need to check this one out. I gave the book 4.5 stars and highly recommend checking this one out. If you enjoyed The Silent Patient you will love this.
