Kate has a way with drawing you in right from the start of her books and this one is no exception.
Laura's life hasn't been an easy one, suffering from mental health issues and then the devastating sudden stroke of her Mother whom she lives with and having to put her mum in a home, Laura is lost.
Laura needs an outlet and she finds this on a dating site and she comes across the very handsome American Kelvin but he is not what he seems and first asking Laura for a relive small amount of money the con begins, and before she knows it Laura is taking money from her mum's health care.
In the back of her mind she knows that it's a con but she believes he loves her and she feels the same.
After Laura's mum passes away the amount of money she has given him is astronomicall.
But a few years Later Laura decides that she is not going to be a victim anymore and decides to hire a private investigator to help track down the conman behind everything.
How do you con a conman?
Well play him at his own game and give him an incentive...money.
Brilliantly executed and written.

I love Kate’s books and this one is one of her best. I had to stay up to finish reading it as I couldn’t put it down. Kate takes a topical subject, romance cons, and makes it into a story of determination, revenge, sadness, challenge and hope.
After Laura’s mother dies and Laura is dealing with her own mental health issues, she signs up to a dating agency in the hope of finding companionship. Unfortunately she is conned and suffers the despair that goes with it. Not content to let it lie, she is determined to fight back. What follows is a wonderful tale of determination and challenge to make sure the conman doesn’t get away with it.
Brilliantly written with lots of great description. A must read for anyone who enjoys physiological thrillers!

Tinker Tailor Conman is a great psychological crime thriller that is partially based upon a true story.
This book captured my interest from the start and kept me on the edge of my seat as Laura looks for closure and vengeance on a conman. This storyline is well written and flows nicely, depicting only too well how a conman can take full advantage of someone who desperately wants something to believe in. There is sorrow, heartbreak, drama, suspense, and vengeance, making this a must-read.
I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

This is the 2nd book I've read written by Kate Mitchell; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

Feels real
I really enjoyed this book. And felt empathy for the characters, also knowing that the situation has happened in real people’s lives at least some of it. I’ve also experienced some scammers on a pen pal site, after I was widowed suddenly, but there were a lot of good people too. The slight downside for me was quite a few typos.
