janpd24 's review for:
The Imposter
by Anna Wharton
2 stars for the book on the whole, and 1 for that twist at the end.
This is a psychological thriller that you didn't know was one. Sounds fascinating, but it's only when you reach the end that you realise how much. The narration is incredibly slow, to the point that I was beginning to wonder if it would ever get going, and the narrator is someone difficult to like or empathise with. I wanted to give up many times, but didn't because I wanted to find out what had happened to the little girl who'd disappeared 25 years ago. It's not difficult to piece together the clues, so it's disappointing when you end up right. I was almost up to the last few pages, wondering what the point of the whole thing was...
Then came the twist, almost right at the end. And things started to make sense.
