Other Men's Shoes,
By A. Woman (Greeneville, Tennessee USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Masquerader (Hardcover)
John Chilcote is a married man of privilege and political position who also has a secret drug addiction. John Loder is a man fallen from grace, down at the heels and has reached a point in life where he merely exists. One foggy night in London these two strangers meet by accident and discover an incredible likeness to one another. Thus an incredible plan is hatched as the two agree to switch places for awhile.For Chilcote, it offers a chance to escape his responsibilites and wallow in a morphine-induced stupor in private. For Loder, it gives him a brief taste of the good life and the political thrill of being in the thick of things when an international crisis erupts. The book is mainly about Loder. Of course a story wouldn't be very interesting if things went smoothly. For all the good Loder does, when Chilcote reclaims his life he just mucks things up again. Plus there's the danger of discovery when a woman from Loder's past thinks she recognizes him. And there's a tangling of heartstrings as Loder finds himself falling in love with Chilcote's wife, Eve. Will Chilcote find the strength to kick his drug habit? Will Loder do the right thing when it comes to Eve? Will the masquerade be found out by a shady lady? You'll just have to read the book, won't you.
