As a series of high profile crimes are committed in London, with the criminal leaving behind only matchsticks, Dr. Bloom is starting a cat-and-mouse kind of game to catch the culprit. A refined psychopat, the criminal is planning his steps and profiling the victims. What for? And who is him or her?
For lovers of crime and psychological thrillers, The Imposter by Leona Deakin is a book hard to put down. Although it is highly packed with adventures, and the pace is mostly alert, it also offers to the reader some moments of reflection about human nature and the criminal minds. It also mixes various institutional plots, mixing the police investigation with secret police plans, which adds more unexpected layers to the plot.
I personally loved the character Dr. Bloom, for the complexities of her mind and her strategy to catch up the criminal. The book is the forth from the series featuring Dr. Augusta Bloom and I will definitely try to catch up with the rest of the installments.
The Imposter offers one of my favorite thriller story mixtures, between psychological depth and local and international political connections. It has a relatively fast plot and a complex psychological background, but also relatable and strong characters. A must read for the fans of suspense and global political adventures.
