The Impersonator

The Impersonator is an intriguing and tantalising book. Its author Diana Hammond is an elegant writer, whose compelling prose makes it impossible for the reader to put the book down until its suprising denouement. The subject of the book is a mysterious male chameleon whose personality is slowly revealed by Hammond in glimpses and tantalising twists. The impersonator is everything to everyone who believe they are madly in love with him. Little do they realise, his act of giving himself totally is a charade. This is a beautifully written, original and quirky book which kept me guessing until the very end.

Hypnotic--A Must Read!

I read this book about 13 years ago, at the tender age of 14 (gasp!), and it is still so memorable that I had to order another copy. I can't believe that no one else is raving over it; it should be made into a motion picture. Filled with sexual tension, lots of eroticism(not cheap, by the way) and mystery, it would surely be a blockbuster hit if given the opportunity on the silver screen! I highly recommend this book if you are into shocking thrillers.

haunting tale sticky with secrets and sex

I read this book more than 10 years ago. To this day, it still resonates within me as a very effective mystery. The novel can make you feel uncomfortable and wary with very subtle touches. I do recommend this book to those who are looking for something with a real edge.
