Kate was a super recogniser, someone with exceptionally high facial recognition skills, & worked with the police to identify criminals & missing persons until she was involved in a car accident 6 months ago. She had recently split with her long-term partner, but she has moved on with Rob. She is almost back to full health & there are small signs that maybe her facial recall is returning, but one day she looks at Rob & realises he is an imposter.
The synopsis drew me to this book, I didn't even mind that it was the trope of an 'unreliable female main narrator' as at least this one isn't self-medicating with alcohol &/or pain meds. This should have been a tightly plotted thriller, but there are too many 2y
The ending was all a bit preposterous but if you've stuck with the book that far, it doesn't really matter. If this had been 350 pages with fewer side plots, then I would have rated it a 3.5 or maybe even 4 just for sheer audacity of the plot, but as it is I can only rate as 2.5⭐ 2y
