Having read and enjoyed the first book, Air Raid, of this two-book series, I immediately purchased Imposter. It was every bit as much fun.
Toby Whitby, the young solicitor who is almost blind without his glasses, finds himself embroiled in another mystery that began during the war and ends in his present, 1952.
He is passionately in love with Carol, the woman he met in book one, but she seems to have distanced herself, but won't tell him what's going on. In the meantime a body of a man washes up on the shore, badly treated by the sea, and his hands have been removed, so no fingerprint identification can be made.
Miss Clark, the secretary thinks she knows him from and goes to the morgue to identify him. She is fairly certain he is, or was, the young Lieutenant who saved her life during the war, except said gentleman is alive, albeit not well as he's suffering from shell shock, in the home of his mother.
In the meantime, a young mother comes into the office and desires to sue the same young man for child support as they had a one-night stand and nine months later their son was born.
She ends up kidnapped and placed on a barge to be sold to white slavers. Miss Clark meets the Lieutenant who wasn't. His grandfather meets the boy who might be his great-grandson. And the Duke of Wales makes an appearance. It's all great fun, and I truly hope that although there are two books in this series, a third one will be coming soon.
