Book Description

31 Oct 2003 0312984863 978-0312984861 Reprint
It isn't easy moving about Society dressed like a dandy-especially when one is a ruthless spy. But that's precisely the latest mission for Liar's Club agent Dalton Montmorecy. Dalton is posing as Sir Thorogood, the elusive cartoonist whose scathing political caricatures 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 impostor-because she's the true Sir Thorogood. Secretly penning the cartoons under the frothy nom de plume, Clara hopes to save enough money so that she can leave her in-laws and find a new residence. Now she is determined to reveal an imposter's identity-and that means doing some undercover work herself. But pretending to 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 devilishly handsome adversary!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another hit 29 Jun 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This second book in the Liars Club series is a great read. It continues the Napolionic setting in England and the band of loyal English patriots searching out spies and other enemies of the crown. This book again has just the right amount of intrigue, wit, suspense and romance to enthrall the reader and keep you waiting for the next book to come out.

4.0 out of 5 stars a brilliant follow up to THE PRETENDER 21 Oct 2003
By tregatt - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Sir Thorogood, the lampoonist, has been ruffling the feathers of the corrupt and the powerful (even as he's been entertaining everyone else) for quite a while now. So that Dalton Montmorency, Lord Etheridge, is rather surprised when Lord Liverpool, the Prime Minister, 'requests' that the Liars discover who Lord Thorogood is and arrest him. Because there is really no one else he can send out on this particular mission, Montmorency decides to undertake the mission himself. And in order to do so, he decides to pretend to be Lord Thorogood (albeit a very foppish Lord Thorogood) in order to flush the lampoonist out. Instead of which he finds himself being hunted by one particularly foolish and brainless widow...

Mrs. Clara Simpson knows that Dalton Montmorency cannot be Lord Thorogood because she's Lord Thorogood! How dare the foolish fribble try to steal her thunder. Clara has been secretly drawing cartoons as Lord Thorogood in order to expose the rich and powerful for the corrupt monsters that they are, and also because she wanted to earn enough money so that she needn't live as a poor relation with her in-laws any more. All was going well until this false Lord Thorogood turned up and starting receiving the accolades that were her due. Now Clara is determined to unmask the rogue -- except that in order to do so she'll have to shed her quiet widow's weeds and her refined manners and pursue the man. Is Clara up to the job? Dalton Montmorency is about to discover that dodging assassins is nothing compared to trying to elude a single-minded and angry young lady resolved to have her pound of flesh...

While "The Impostor" is in many ways a worthy sequel to "The Pretender," I did think that in this novel the spy/intrigue subplot did take a bit of a back seat to the romance subplot. However, Celeste Bradley did such a magnificent job of developing the romance that blossoms between Clara and Dalton, that this slight 'flaw' didn't really matter all that much. As usual the character portrayals were really good, as was the storyline and the manner in which the authour allowed for the story to unfold. If I had any criticism, it was the that things took unnecessarily long for Dalton and Clara to achieve their happily ever-after ending (a whole extra chapter in fact). But (again) this is a very minor quibble, not worth mentioning. All in all, a magnificent 4 star read.

5.0 out of 5 stars definitely a "desert island keeper" of a romance 11 Feb 2006
By Snow White - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Once again - Bradley gets it right! I absolutely LOVED this novel and it's my favorite out of the Liar's Club series so far. The love scenes are the best and the hero is neither arrogant/brooding/tortured but he's a gentleman rather reserved and somewhat lonely now that it's up to him to manage the Liar's Club. Reading "Imposter" after "Pretender" was sheer delight!

Favorite scenes include: the corset incident at the ball, the cupboard scene, meeting Lord Reardon, the fog on the bridge (VERY GOOD SCENE!!!! action+romance!) the attic scenes, and all the scenes w/ James, plus more. . . . . . ok the whole frickin' book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great One 5 Jan 2006
By Sharon B - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Celeste Bradley has become one of my favorite authors. The Impostor definitely does not disappoint. Once again she has taken the reader into the world of the Liars Club (and the Quatre Royale) with beautifully written characters that draw you in and make you feel as if they are treasured friends, or bitter enemies. This is a must read series for anyone who enjoys Historical Romance combined with the twists and turns of a mystery. And last, but not least, the love scenes are nothing short of inspirational. An exceptional read by an author who can make me laugh, cry, and feel the full gambit of emotions.
