THE IMPOSTER It isn't easy moving about Society dressed like a dandy-especially when one in a ruthless spy. But that's precisely the latest mission for Liar's Club agent Dalton Montgomery. Dalton is posing as Sir Thurgood, the elusive cartoonist whose scathing political cartoonist have all of London abuzz. The true identity of Sir Thorogood is a mystery, and Dalton hopes that impersonating him will flush out the real menace before his cartoons do further damage to the Crown. Now, if Dalton could only find a way to get the irksome, yet oddly appealing widow Clara Simpson off his trail.... When Clara meets Sir Thorogood at a ball, she's certain he is an imposter - because he's the true Sir Thorogood. Secretly penning the cartoons under the frothy de plume. Clara hopes to save enough money so that she can leave her in-laws and find a new resistance. Now, she is determined to reveal an imposter's identity - and that means doing some undercover week herself. But pretending in be someone you're not has a funny way of making a woman do things she wouldn't ordinarily dream of- even if it drives her straight into the arms of her divisibly handsome adversary.

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Romance, Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

A comfortable full-length choice for steady daily reading.

Begin with its place in Romance, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. What must each character learn before the relationship can become believable?
  2. How do work, family, friendship, or identity shape the central relationship?
  3. Does the emotional resolution feel earned by the choices that came before it?
