Anna Wharton' s debut, The Imposter, is a spine-chilling suspense about obsession, loneliness and the lies we tell ourselves in order to live with ourselves . . . The lives of others have always fascinated newspaper archivist Chloe. And when she comes across a cutting of a little girl who went missing twenty-five years ago, she is moved by the unwavering devotion of the child' s parents and their belief that their daughter will one day return. Meanwhile, news that her beloved Nan, the only family she has left, must move into a nursing home, leaves Chloe distraught and soon to be homeless. So when the missing girl' s parents advertise for a lodger, Chloe sees this as a sign - a new home and the perfect opportunity to investigate the case. But it' s not long until she realises the couple aren' t all they seem from the outside . . . With everyone in the house hiding something, the question is - whose secrets are the most dangerous?
A slick, clever book that delivers the most chilling and claustrophobic setting: moving the narrator into the home of the character you fear the most. You won' t be able to stop page turning until you finally find out what the hell is going on -- Caroline Corcoran, author of Through the Wall and The Baby Group Evocative and compelling -- Karen Hamilton, author of The Perfect Girlfriend and The Last Wife An intricate plot stuffed with surprises and underpinned with a huge helping of heart -- Holly Seddon, author of Try Not To Breathe and The Hit List A darkly compelling and original story exploring loneliness and obsession and the desire to belong -- Jenny Quintana, author of The Missing Girl and The Hiding Place I loved The Imposter. It' s twisty and gripping, and I raced through to the end. It' s also thoughtful and moving, with characters who lingered in my mind long after I' d turned the last page -- Laura Marshall, author of Friend Request and Three Little Lies A compelling story of obsession and loneliness -- Nell Pattison, author of The Silent House and The Silent Suspect With an intriguing and obsessive protagonist and a claustrophobic setting, it' s a tense and compelling read that kept me turning the pages until the final twist -- Debbie Howells, author of The Bones of You and The Vow I read Anna' s book in one sitting and loved it! It grips and drags you into ever darker, more terrifying territory right up to the last paragraph, and beyond that, too, leaving you grappling with your own sense of morality -- Tasha Kavanagh, author of Things We Have in Common Evocative, beautifully written and wise, this pacy novel really is one of the best pieces of fiction I have read this year -- Fiona Mitchell, author of The Swap
