#BlogTour: The Imposter by Leona Deakin @LeonaDeakin1 @TransworldBooks @RandomTTours #TheImposter #LeonaDeakin #RandomThingsTours

Book Synopsis:

He doesn’t just want your identity. He wants your life…

No one sees him coming.
A stock-market trader is pushed from a high-rise balcony and falls to his death on the street below. The only clue the police can find is a box of matches.

No one survives for long.
The decomposing body of a member of the Saudi Royal Family is discovered in a car. Evidence suggests the killer took the man’s life, then stole his identity, wore his clothes and lived in his hotel room – before vanishing into thin air like smoke.

Nothing but matchsticks are left behind.
Dr Bloom realizes the only thing linking these murders is a trail of burnt matches and broken lives. Time is running out – and if she isn’t careful, she might be the next to burn …

My Review:

I’ve been a huge fan of this series from the start so couldn’t wait to start reading this book. This author’s writing is just so addictive that I was quickly drawn into the story, unable to put the book down as I was enjoying it so much.

One of the things I really enjoyed about this book is that the author takes the reader into the mind of the serial killer which I found utterly fascinating. It was very interesting to learn more about their mental health and discover how that would affect their personal life. It helped me to understand the killer’s motives and what would make them commit murder.

I thought this book was perfectly paced and really enjoying following the characters throughout the book. There were lots of twists that kept me guess and red herrings which I always enjoy. I actually thought I had figured it all out but a huge twist towards the end took the story in a completely different direction which I always love. The author cleverly weaves the two timelines together to make a really satisfying ending.

This is the fourth book in the series but I think it could easily be read as a standalone as anything you need to know is explained but I’d recommend starting from the beginning as this series is fabulous! I’m hoping this isn’t the last Dr Bloom book as I’m not ready for this series to end yet.

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Transworld for my copy of this book.
