The Imposter

Written by Marin Montgomery

Narrated by Jane Oppenheimer

From the Amazon bestselling author of What We Forgot to Bury comes a twisted psychological tale of a mother and daughter’s mind-bending descent into the truth.

From the outside looking in, Sibley Sawyer has a perfect life. As a successful attorney, she’s worked hard to get to the top of her game—but when her personal and professional lives implode, Sibley looks for a way to turn the page.

Unable to shake the tragic circumstances that caused her to flee her rural Midwestern hometown, Sibley wants nothing more than to reunite with her estranged mother, Deborah, and bury their past tensions.

But as she reenters the life she left behind, she realizes her mother isn’t the same person she remembers, and she’s not the same daughter either.

As both women struggle to piece together a tangled web of deceit and lies, and the shocking circumstances that caused Sibley to leave in the first place, it becomes clear there are secrets rooted deeper than either mother or daughter could ever have imagined.

Can you really deceive your past and those around you?

Reviews for The Imposter

So thrilling

I loved it until the very end! Going to read another by this author

Good writing and storyline. Though the abusive environment of most characters is challenging to read through. The main character is a horrendous in denial drunk of a woman. She is disgusting in thinking that after 16 years estrangement comes back under false pretences to challenge her mother's credibility on the past events.

This is challenging to read as it triggers my desire to smack Sippy. This type of abusive story is something I am quite familiar with.

I didn’t see it coming. There is a lot of build but it makes the reveal so much more exciting!

[Coreen Ryan · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I barely made it through this book. Not one likable character.

This book is written in third person (as far as I can tell, I didn’t make it past the first chapter) and it made me feel very detached from the story.

[Melody Armentrout · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Took too long to get to the exciting part of the story and was a bit boring while getting there.

What can I say about a book that had nothing going for it except exceptional writing? Despicable loser characters mired in self-doubt, alcoholic fugues, acting out badly and harming all in their concentric circles. Even the good guys are bums. Nasty story with not an inch of self redemption and why I kept reading is a mystery I have yet to crack.Short summary, I didn’t like the story, hated the characters but thought the writing and ability to twist, turn and confuse was excellent. Thank you NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for a copy.
