Katherine Bellantone's Reviews > The Impostor Heiress: Cassie Chadwick, The Greatest Grifter of the Gilded Age

"She had come to the realization that the easiest way to get money was to already have it."....This book was incredible from start to finish! Reed is an excellent storyteller, and aside from the outrageousness of this true story, the page-turning factor is amplified by her addictive writing. I found myself in an adrenaline rush reading about the final months of the con, when everything fell apart and Beckwith/Spear/Newton realized that they were in too deep to recover...The pacing was on point, and mind blowing from every angle! I also enjoyed how Reed paralleled Andrew Carnegie's story to Chadwick's. It gave a fascinating perspective. She also managed to insert some humor into the book, and I laughed out loud on a few occasions...I can't recommend this book enough!
